Come join us for a day of family fun and community spirit, and help support us as we host the Freedom Fling Fest on June 27! We’re hosting a 9-hole doubles disc golf tournament, a dog parade, a silent auction and more! This is the Saturday before the 4th of July, so you can start celebrating early!

In the words of that great philosopher Fred G. Sanford, power to the people! Take that, BCBSNC.

Re-upping again. Six goals in nine games.

People will be like ‘Bluesky is all academics & historians’ & I’ll be like, ‘You mean the people who enthusiastically tell me the coolest shit I ever heard?????’

This is absolutely outrageous. SCOTUS reinstated Texas gerrymander 15 weeks before primary because they claimed it was too close to election to block it but now allowing Alabama to gerrymander one week before primary after trial court found map was intentionally discriminatory against Black voters

There are no good, clean hands options when the basic fairness & reciprocity of a democratic system have been undermined by a fascist movement in power

WAIT! Not only is Prime Video a mess to watch, not the play-by-play guy just dissed North Carolina by calling Kansas City the “barbecue capital of America.”

@madtravels.bsky.social is yours still choppy? I turned off my TV to follow on my phone. Better but still a little choppy.

Dear @nwslsoccer.com, Please keep Courage games off the ridiculously choppy Amazon Prime. It’s nearly impossible to follow. Thank you.

Is anybody else’s Prime video feed of the @nccourage.com really jumpy?

Honestly, this whole administration is a bad reality TV show.

“You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not bow down to them or serve them.” - Exodus 20:4-5

Somebody’s a yahoo.

Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social burns a confederate flag in the rotunda after the House passed 9-0 maps stripping Memphis of representation… #Memphis #JimCrow @MarshaBlackburn @GovBillLee

The DC landscape was carefully curated after the Civil War to link Arlington Cemetery and the Lincoln Memorial together. So, no, we don’t want your fugly erasure of the nation’s view for your failed Administration.

🔴PAY ATTENTION: The Governor of Louisiana is declaring an emergency to cancel an ongoing election so that his party can rig the rules moving forward. This is not just about redistricting... www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Constitutional calvinball.

Running this back, but change the numbers to five goals in six games. #SanchezIsAwesome

This👇🏽 deserves to be posted 100 times but I’d be labeled spam.

Today's demolition of Voting Rights Act by Roberts Court will likely trigger largest drop in Black representation since end of Reconstruction. They're taking America back to Jim Crow, when white supremacy and one party rule enshrined across South www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Those of us in the pro-democracy movement can and should hold both of these positions. 1. We unequivocally reject violence. 2. We will unequivocally oppose efforts by this administration to use last night as an excuse to try to suppress criticism and criminalize dissent.

Weird how Sanchez scored two goals last year, didn’t start every game and often didn’t play a full 90 minutes. And yet in 2026, she’s got four goals in four-and-a-half games. Hmmmm. Wonder what’s the difference? (Rhetorical question)

Wild that the cloud formations are exactly the same.

My Uncle Gene owes me a beer!! Go #Cubs Go!

Well, isn’t this a sight for sore eyes! 😍 Our beloved Hubble appears in this amazing image from one of Vantor's WorldView Legion satellites. It was 36 years ago today that Hubble was launched in the bay of the Space Shuttle Discovery from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. Credit: Vantor.

Holy shit.

Michael Stipe just said on “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” that one of my favorite R.E.M. songs, “Pretty Persuasion” was about trans rights. As if I could like that band and song any more. Wow. Give it a listen: youtu.be/vvlMCJv77V0?...

From space, you can clearly see that what unites us is far more important than what divides us. That's why we started Astronauts For America, and why we're working to bring together Americans to stand against divisiveness, polarization and any attack on our American values.

Also, I heard often that Covid wasn’t that bad because it was only the flu. But now we don’t want protection from the flu? Make it make sense.

Don’t tell anyone this website is still active, especially with the sentence, “Though it was a controversial action, many historians credit the medical mandate with the colonists’ victory in the Revolutionary War and the creation of the United States of America.” www.nps.gov/articles/000...

Given recruitment difficulties and losses from disease, George Washington literally mandated smallpox inoculation for all troops in 1777

To exactly NO ONE’S surprise.

A little moon joy for your 4/20 at 4:20 pm.

In a nutshell. 😊

In two weeks, no doubt.

YO SPACE NERDS: The Nova documentary Return to the Moon, which follows the recent NASA #Artemis mission, is live now on the PBS site (and should be on the app/channel/etc). Spread the word! Turns out we *can* have nice things, as long as they are in spaaaace www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/vi...

Weird day (mom at the ER again - she’s okay) but happy birthday to me! Always good to be with family.

Science is good. We should fund it.

Welcome home Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, N.C. State’s own Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen. We can never thank you enough. You and all the people at NASA and elsewhere have our gratitude!

Thinking of this wonderful scene from Apollo 13. God speed, #ArtemisII.

No, tf we’re not. Gross.

Of course.

Seems appropriate. Except I don’t feel fine.

No caption needed.

These women working on Artemis II are effing badasses.

Really like how they did the mission patch here -
