With everything looking down, why not look up for a moment?

This is, quite seriously, one of the most gorgeous astronomical images I have ever seen. And I've seen a *lot*.

Goal achieved: An unusual number of people in an unusual number of places. 1,300 globally. There were probably more than 10,000 speakers alone at rallies today. Baffling to think about this scale!

Hello new community! I love how fast this place is growing. FYI we released a new Indivisible guide with practical steps that folks in red, blue, & purple states can take to fight back. Don't ask for permission - take it, copy it, make it your own, & start organizing. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

11,000
We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado.

11,000 people showed up.

Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

Tucson, Arizona today.

Original projected attendance was 3,000 people.

23,000 showed up.

34,000 ! !!
Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.

This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.

Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.

And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

Is this what they meant by "wandering womb"?
Ever since @harrysavage.bsky.social mentioned it, stolonization has been haunting my waking hours. Now it can haunt yours too: some annelid worms develop a gamete-filled structure (stolon), which detaches and swims to find a mate. Some stolons have eyes, antennae, and nervous system 🤯

This is f*cking dark.
Gov. Mills: I’ll comply with the state and federal laws

Trump: We are the federal law. You better do it because you’re not going to get any federal funds.

Gov Mills: See you in court

"We [the Executive Branch] *are* the federal law" is a dark horse candidate for most Hitlerian Trump quote from 2025.

Surprised this did not get even more media coverage and provoke even more outrage.

The literal, actual truth, of course, is that the federal government has three co-equal branches.
