The first augmented reality comic produced by NASA has been taken off of the NASA website.

Details have been blogged freegovinfo.info/node/14779/ by @freegovinfo.bsky.social

The front cover of an online comic picturing a woman in space, it says "NASA's FIRST XR-Enabled Augmented Reality Comic"

An image of the same comic URL but now the website renders an error 404 "The cosmic object you were looking for has disappeared beyond the event horizon."

A comic which has humor based in its text and that the 4th panel character is being noosed for the gallows

Panel 1 (Virology):
“I never thought I’d live to see so many people ignoring science.”

Panel 2 (Ecology):
“We study our entire lives, bring solutions, but no one applies them.”

Panel 3 (Meteorology):
“Even worse, it seems like everyone in power wants to discredit what we say.”

Panel 4 (History as they are being noosed for the gallows):
“First time?”

Online voter registration is a right in the majority of the USA🇺🇸

Texas does not have that freedom.

After failing to register more than half of eligible voters many states were put on pre-clearance where they had to prove any new voter legislation was not further suppressing voters rights.

In 2013 Shelby County v Holder removed that check.

Restrictive laws passed, and Texans lost freedom 🇺🇸

Who has freedom?

Not Texans, South Dakota and Mississippi residents, they have the least amount of voter freedoms in the USA🇺🇸

Many states were subject to pre-clearance for failing to register half of eligible voters.
These states were required a DOJ check on new voter laws to ensure that these states were not further suppressing voters.
In 2013 Shelby County v Holder removed the DOJ check and pre-clearance states have since been able to pass voter laws without DOJ checking for suppression.

States where online voter registration is permitted. In Texas online voter registration is not available.
