Maybe we should honor the women who were real astronauts.

From left to right are Shannon W. Lucid, Margaret Rhea Seddon, Kathryn D. Sullivan, Judith A. Resnik, Anna L. Fisher, and Sally K. Ride. NASA selected all six women as their first female astronaut candidates in January 1978.

It was so cute when conservatives cried that Soros donated $50 million across the country for candidates up and down the ticket, but when Musk spends $270 million to get Trump elected, they shrug and mutter, "Meh."

Musk personifies why we need public financing of elections.

I know this first hand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and sabateurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why.

What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

Rep. Tom Suozzi gets huge applause and a standing ovation after calling out Trump’s ambush of President Zelenskyy at the White House.

Suozzi is a Democrat who won a special election in a red district—more of this, please!

Every single Dem should be holding town halls across the country RIGHT NOW.

Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar.

Be. Like. Finland.

This made me genuinely laugh.
About to drop $525 to get this guy to make a video denouncing sexual assault and send it to Pete Hegseth.

Wish me luck.

My one constructive criticism on BlueSky, as a community: we need to “like” less and “retweet” more. In the absence of an algorithm, that’s the way we find each other and reward good content.

When poor decisions ripple outward, they don’t just harm the decision-maker. They create a chain reaction that affects communities, institutions, and even history. Let’s explore how irrational behavior shapes the world in ways we often underestimate.

I can’t tell you how different it is on X now after so many people have left. I have always followed mostly right-wing accounts because I cover them, and they are running out of people to pick fights with. So they’re just mostly fighting with each other.
