"No matter how corrupt, greedy, and heartless our government, our corporations, our media, and our religious & charitable institutions may become, the music will still be wonderful. If I should ever die, God forbid, let this be my epitaph: The only proof he needed for the existence of God was music."
RIP Kurt Vonnegut. Gone 18 yrs. Dang.

Social media post by Rep. Jason Crow (@RepJasonCrow ) posted recently, with the text: 'Incredible energy at my town hall in Aurora. Thank you to the over 1,300 folks who have come to hear how we’re fighting back against President Trump’s executive orders and budget.' The post includes a photo of a crowded town hall in Aurora, showing Rep. Jason Crow speaking on stage in front of a large audience seated in an auditorium with a brick wall, large windows, and a screen displaying 'Welcome to Townhall' with his image.
Call your rep. Demand a town hall. If they’re GOP and won’t give one, invite a Dem to your district in their place. Congressional switchboard: (202) 224-3121

A spiral galaxy seen close up and almost face on. It is filled with puffy, patchy clouds of hot gas and dust. Red, orange and yellow colours indicate light emitted by different particles. The brightest colours are in the centre and along the two spiral arms, which wind out from the centre. Star clusters hide in the gas along the arms. A few large, bright white stars are prominent in the foreground, near to us.
New JWST image dropped: NGC 2283.
ESA chose this spiral galaxy to be Picture Of The Month (POTM) for February 2025.

A poster for the economic blackout on February 28. It is a big red Jack rabbit on an aqua blue back ground. It says economic blackout in hand done black type. There are two black speech bubbles. One says “don’t buy stuff Friday February 28th. The other says we have power. Below it says No Amazon, Walmart, target, gas food, gas. Below that it says OK small business, use cash. Designed by Martha Rich.
I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

A colourful, glowing nebula that reaches beyond the top and bottom of the image. It is made of translucent clouds of gas: wispy and thin with hard edges in some places, and puffy and opaque in others. Blue, red and yellow colours mix together, showing light emitted by different types of atoms in the hot gas. Bright and pointlike stars are scattered across the nebula. The background is black.
NEW HUBBLE IMAGE OF THE VEIL NEBULA AND IT’S GORGEOUS!!! 🌌✨

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot.

Americans are scared about what’s happening right now—because This. Is. Not. Normal.
But where are my Republican colleagues? In closed-door meetings dismantling vital programs?
We are fighting back! We are taking it to the courts, taking it to Congress, and taking it to the streets!
WEIMAR+STATEMENT FRANCE, GERMANY, POLAND, ITALY, SPAIN, UNITED KINGDOM EU HIGH REPRESENTATIVE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS AND SECURITY POLICY We are ready to enhance our support for Ukraine. We commit to its independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity in the face of Russia's war of aggression. We share the goal to keep supporting Ukraine until a just, comprehensive and lasting peace is reached. A peace that guarantees the interest of Ukraine and our own. We are looking forward to discussing the way ahead together with our American allies. Our shared objectives should be to put Ukraine in a position of strength. Ukraine and Europe must be part of any negotiations. Ukraine should be provided with strong security guarantees. A just and lasting peace in Ukraine is a necessary condition for a strong transatlantic security. We recall that the security of the European continent is our common responsibility. We are therefore working together to strengthen our collective defense capabilities.
BREAKING: France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Spain & UK sign a joint statement vowing to protect Ukraine’s sovereignty & demanding a role in the peace talks.
This is leadership.
It’s also unprecedented.
A western alliance is having to form against a new, twin & united threat: Trump & Putin.
