So, I bought a telescope a couple of months ago. With it being extremely cold/cloudy, I haven't had much of an opportunity to use it. Last night I did experiment. Got this cool shot of M42 (The Orion Nebula). I'm looking forward to more experimenting with it.

State governors and legislature need to actively fortify their elections against federal interference…from ICE, voter roll manipulation and frivolous lawsuits.
Voters need to prepare for harassment and intentional process breakdowns, especially in red states.

If we have free and fair midterm elections, Democrats will likely regain majorities in both the House and Senate.
Here’s a sampling of what would happen then:
- Impeachments:
Of Trump and some in his cabinet, especially Bondi, Patel, Vought and Noem. Pick any multitude of their crimes.

Let’s be clear: The GOP’s new voter suppression legislation (modeled on the SAVE Act) is unlikely to pass the Senate.
But with this attack on our voting rights ahead of the midterms, we can’t take anything for granted.
