🧵 This pic from Mike Selby and Mark Hanson is as pretty as a painting, but it's absolutely real. It shows a blue reflection nebula known as NGC 2626, which lies some 3200 light-years from Earth along the Vela Molecular Ridge. ➡️ apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap23020... 🔭 🧪 #science 1/3

A Japanese artist made the print DHS lifted to spread anti-immigrant hate. Can't make this up.

I think I will restart my Indigenous geographies threads in the new year! I need to get more academic takes out there into the Bluesky ether.

The Wolf moon tonight. The first full moon of 2026.

Trump promising to rescue non-violent Iranian protesters being brutalized by their government as here at home he authorizes and condones non-violent *American* protesters being brutalized by *his* government (to include urging that they be shot in the legs) is certainly a new take on "America First"

Donald J. Trump is, undoubtedly, the stupidest, most needy person to ever become president, but the case can be made that he is the stupidest, most needy person to ever become famous.

Nurses and teachers are professionals America can’t afford to lose There is nothing beautiful about how Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” worsens the national nursing and teacher shortage. Read in The Hill: apple.news/AVEA4AjkKT9S... 🔥🔥🔥piggy doesn't care🔥🔥🔥

The GRIFTS never stop coming from the trump Crime Family! While the average American gets poorer, the trumps get richer and of course, Fat donnie would deny knowing anything about the grift! 😡😡 #FuckTrump

Why isn't this getting more headlines..Trump's a racist bigoted misogynistic POS........ www.military.com/daily-news/i...

A good framing as we move into the 250th anniversary year. @dbarkhuff.skystack.xyz open.substack.com/pub/dbarkhuf...

👀 Trump handed reporters plenty to ask pointed Qs of the WH as a followup: - get access to Sean Barbabella, his doc; - why did Trump *get to choose* CT vs MRI? - was his head/brain imaged then or at any time? - why is his "cognitive exam" (MoCA) given so often? Full WSJ article: 🎁 is.gd/57MH0u

The Trump administration this week made abrupt cuts to the top federal disaster response agency, even as US communities face increased threats from natural disasters caused by the global climate crisis. www.commondreams.org/news/trump-a...

That disgusting pos isn’t honoring the military. Corporal bone spurs hasn’t earned any medals, he has never shown bravery, though he did once claim bravery as the act of avoiding the syph (and terribly putting those poor children he raped at risk). Gonfk yourself you worthless putinlkr!

Grifting off Jesus. Pathetic.

If the "originalists" were really interested in the "original intent" of the founders, they would remember that "freedom OF religion" originally meant (and should still mean) "freedom FROM YOUR religion". Individuals have the right to their OWN beliefs but cannot force others! #usdemocracy

What he says…

Total devastation This is what the center of Kharkiv looks like after a russian strike As of now, 30 people are reported injured Preliminary reports say the enemy struck with 2 Iskander missiles The rescue operation is ongoing This is an absolute crime against humanity

What does it mean when your doctors keep insisting you redo the cognitive exam

I rarely agree with George Will on policy, but he's a patriot and a Constitutionalist. I wish him well, and wish SCOTUS had even a modicum of moral compass and integrity. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZsY...

This has always been Trump's theme song, whether he knows it or not, and despite being composed decades before his orange-dyed face became a fixture in our daily lives. youtu.be/K4q_K52TYsE?...

Day 28,710. Everything Trump touches dies. #proudblue #pinks apnews.com/article/tesl...

He builds ballrooms while pantries go bare. Raises arches while people look for exits. Carves his name into stone as families count meals. A nation does not starve quietly, it suffers loudly & always remembers who kept eating. #Resist

I have tried to promote this as much as possible. MSM seem to be ignoring it completely. We know our promotion helps. But should we really be trying to push peace on a national level. WAKE UP MAINSTREAM MEDIA.

Republicans rushed tax cuts for the wealthy but delayed their cuts to Medicaid and food assistance. Why? So they don't kick in until after the midterms. Help spread the word.
