Our federal government killed a disabled genocide survivor and is covering up for a child rapist. And that is just today’s news. It is just unconscionable to be treating this as normal or acceptable in any way.

In 1995, I spent the equivalent of about $3000 in today's dollars to get a Schmidt Cassegrain telescope & film camera with dreams of astrophotography. Spent MANY hours to net a few barely useful prints of the Moon. Last year I spent $500 on a Seestar and captured this last night after an hour.
