“The most anti-capitalist protest is to care for another and to care for yourself. To take on the historically feminized and therefore invisible practice of nursing, nurturing, caring. To take seriously each other’s vulnerability and fragility and precarity, and to support it, honor it, empower it…

MSNBC reporter on ground in LA right now saying that from what he has seen the protestors have been peaceful but the LA Sheriff’s Dept in particular has been off the chain, quick to use tear gas and rubber bullets in an exceedingly aggressive manner

Minnesota’s flags will fly at half staff in honor and remembrance of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman.
She woke up every morning determined to make Minnesota a better place, and she will be greatly missed.

Officials in Minnesota were searching for the person who shot and killed State Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband, in what Gov. Tim Walz described as a politically motivated attack. The suspect also shot and injured another Democratic lawmaker and his wife. Live updates: nyti.ms/3HGa3cc

To me the cool thing about this image is that the sprinkling of blue stars are in the foreground, some 5 million light years away, while all those gorgeous colorful swirly galaxies are almost unimaginably more distant, out in the far depths of the cosmos. More info: www.stsci.edu/contents/med...
Oh come ON now. This new JWST image is just ASTOUNDING.
I feel like I’m falling looking into it, and that I would fall forever, and that I would enjoy it.

🔥🔥A 2021 study found that Medicaid expansion as part of the ACA led to a substantial reduction in mortality, primarily driven by reductions in disease-related deaths. A 2018 study in the Journal of Political Economy found that, Medicaid reduced infant and child mortality since the 1960s and 1970s.🔥🔥

One of the coolest things about publishing a book in Norway is that the gov will automatically buy 1k copies, 1.5K if its a children's book, these will then be distributed to all the libraries.

Absolutely! I'd add Mr. Rogers, Steve from Blue's Clues and Steve Irwin in there.
