Or the White Hospice as we call it.

Data from the MeerKAT radio telescope shows the some of the central portion of the plane of the Milky Way galaxy, with a graphic pullout highlighting a much smaller rectangular region at right, captured by the James Webb Space Telescope in near-infrared light. At the center of the MeerKAT image, a bright orange-white area is labeled Sagittarius A*. The MeerKAT and Webb images are labeled. The Webb image shows waves of pink and teal colors, with hundreds of thousands of stars. A compass graphic on the upper-left of the MeerKAT image shows north pointing toward the upper left corner and east pointing lower left. Each telescope image has a scale bar, about one sixth of the image, at lower right. Webb’s reads 6 light-years and MeerKAT’s reads 145 light-years. At lower left of the MeerKAT image is a spectral Index with color gradation from orange on the left, cyan in the middle, and blue on the right. Numbers on the spectral index read, from left to right, -1.8, -1, 0, 1.

NEW: An image from the MeerKAT radio telescope puts a star-forming region captured by #NASAWebb in context. Magnetic forces are shaping the region surrounding our galaxy’s central supermassive black hole: webbtelescope.pub/4iDDwB3 🔭 🧪

If nothing else, the last nine months should have made it clear that elections matter. But what’s remarkable about America is that we have the power, as citizens, to change this country by voting. Go to IWillVote.com.

“hunger is a very destabilizing factor” 🤨

This will increase Mamdani's margin of victory by double digits.

This is the president of the United States taking a break from gold-and-marble interior renovations to say he’ll defy a court order to feed hungry Americans.

Nero would be proud.

Well, if a lunatic tweeted it, then it must be true!

Government Shutdown Leaves Nation’s Most Vulnerable Children and Families Exposed A shutdown engineered as leverage is stripping funds from Head Start and threatening SNAP, exposing how fragile America’s safety net is when the White House withholds aid.

🚨Trump’s refusal to release emergency SNAP and Head Start funds makes hunger a bargaining tool, turning aid for children and families into leverage in a political standoff documented by AP and Reuters.

TODAY is ELECTION DAY

For so many years
I have thought of this meme
often
It applies to men also

But WOMEN
WHY?...When everything tRump and his republican cowards do and are
Is so hateful for women
Misogynistic
Women's Rights
Women's Rights tochoose
Women's pay & vote
And CHILDREN

hitchBOT was a Canadian hitchhiking robot created by professors David Harris Smith of McMaster University and Frauke Zeller of Toronto Metropolitan University in 2013.[1][2][3] It gained international attention for successfully hitchhiking across Canada, Germany and the Netherlands. In 2015, its attempt to hitchhike across the United States ended when it was stripped, dismembered, and decapitated in Philadelphia.[4

They get away with it because we have a complicit media. This must change.

Grijalva: I do think that Speaker Johnson misplayed his hand.

There are people all over this nation who were out there with signs that said, “Swear her in.” They wouldn’t have even known about me otherwise.

Thank you for highlighting how corrupt the system you’re protecting really is.

you don't have to put on blackface to get social media attention. you can simply develop mild depression, join a menswear forum, spend the next 15 years arguing about pants, and then weaponize the knowledge against your enemies on social media.

If you’re having a Great Gatsby-themed party, you’ve never read the book.

YES YOU SHOULD VOTE IN LOCAL ELECTIONS TOMORROW EVEN IF MAMDANI IS NOT ON THE BALLOT WHERE YOU LIVE

Mike Johnson: "Imagine a scenario where they were in charge and they didn't have the filibuster. We would have nationalized elections, they would infringe on our 2A rights, they'd pack the Supreme Court, and they'd make Puerto Rico and DC states."

This is brilliant

Dolly Parton releases “9 to 5” 45 yrs ago today.

“I knew what it was like to be a working woman trying to make a decent living, trying to be taken seriously. .. I wanted a song that sounded playful on the surface but spoke to that frustration .. A song about women .. saying, ‘We deserve better.’”

I don't idolize politicians or fan boy after any of them. They are all servants and tools that must be used by the majority to make life better. If they do well, reward them. If they fail, replace them.

But, man, I'm rooting for Mamdani. All this Islamophobia & hate? I hope he wins big on Tuesday.
