Now it can (again) be told: We had a tagline for DART:

“66 million years ago, an asteroid wiped out the dinosaurs. In 2022, Earth strikes back”.

Everybody loved it except some (1-whimsical) NASA folks, so it was never officially adopted. It did sneak into some things, though…

This may end up being a massive own goal for the Trump administration.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

China's Xinhua news agency has just published this editorial cartoon in response to Trump's rejection of climate policies.

It is pretty clear that China views this as a HUGE geopolitical fumble by the US leaving the field clear for China's to win the global race to clean-tech hegemony

Heckuva job, Greg Abbott.

Not sure who needs to hear this but the voter fraud rate is a mere 0.000003%. Anyone telling you otherwise is making shit up so they can take away your right to vote.

1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

has anybody gotten confirmation yet from Mike Johnson that he hasn't seen the post?

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Abolish ICE.

There’s no reforming it.

There’s no compromise.

There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

🚨 Pritzker: The monsters responsible for unleashing this havoc on American cities, whether they were firing at civilians in the streets or calling the shots from their cushy offices in Washington, need to be investigated and prosecuted.

Prosecute them.

Republicans in Congress get very brave after they announce their retirement.

Just saw an ad for "Melania" and it had a PG rating for "some thematic elements" which I'm assuming is because it features at least one pedophile.

Congrats to @jonathancapehart.bsky.social for keeping his cool in the face of Karoline Leavitt-level agitprop from this Gary Abernathy guy on @pbsnews.org NewsHour tonight.

Damn proud of Minnesota.

Just say the government is lying. The goal of journalism should be to inform, not gaslight.

In today’s Letter, @hcrichardson.bsky.social makes it clear that ignorance is no longer an option. After Renee and Alex you’re either for a law based constitutional republic, or you’re not. The time to choose has passed.

Down the road? They're already saying it didn't happen. The murder of Renee Good, the murder of Alex Pretti. And, of course, the January 6 riot. And it's not just "some bastard"; it's the people controlling the executive branch of the US government and their GOP comrades in Congress.

That's bullshit. After 2016, *no* "good people" voted for FFOTUS Kraznov the DIC. I excuse anyone the first time, since they might not have known what/who he was. In 2020 and 2024, anyone voting for him was either stupid, evil or both. No other options, certainly not "good."

Congress--ALL members of Congress, regardless of party affiliation--now have one duty: removal of the mad man-child in the Oval Office. The House must impeach and Senate must convict. Now.

We are open: please wait for us to unlock the door. Thank you for your understanding

this is what it has come to for Mexican restaurants in the Twin Cities

What's the difference between most of us and Donald Trump?

When someone screams "pedophile protector," most of us know it's not directed at us.

I call bullshit.

I attended a vigil for Renee Nicole Good in Eureka Springs,AR today, this was my favorite sign. We had over 150 people attend on a cold Sunday morning in a town of 2K, I’m proud of my community

We need to impeach and remove this motherfucker too.

Maybe then I wouldn’t have to tear up every time I see Renee Good’s face, or want to smash something every time I see J.D. Vance’s smug performative anger or Kristi Noem’s stupid cosplay. It must be a lot easier to not have a conscience or empathy.
