Jesus. A 19 year-old *United States citizen* was detained by ICE for *10 days*. He told them he was a U.S. citizen. They didn't believe him. Heads need to roll for this. www.azpm.org/p/headlines/...

CEO to worker pay in: 1989 ➡️ 61:1 2025 ➡️ 399:1 Current Target CEO to worker pay: ‼️719:1‼️ So no, we’re STILL not shopping at Target.

WATCH: Pushing back on a Lamberth election bill, @justinjpearson.bsky.social & @votebo.bsky.social call out elections coordinator Mark Goins for the blatant voter suppression tactic of sending intimidating letters to 14,000 Tennesseans with immigrant-sounding names right before the election.

The JWST’s Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) captured an unprecedented image of the planetary nebula NGC 1514 (also known as the Crystal Ball Nebula), located about 1,500 ly from Earth in the constellation Taurus. Reference➡️ esawebb.org/news/weic2508/ 🔭 🧪 #JWST #Webb #galactic

Make Way for the Boston Marathon. 💛💙

Nope, looking side-by-side photos of the same object from the Hubble and the James Webb space telescopes will never stop being cool. Take this photo of Messier 104 ("The Sombrero Galaxy") - amazing in both optics. 🧪

WTF!!!

After a federal judge ruled that Google had a monopoly on the search market, the tech giant and the government are in court to debate penalties. One possible result: forcing Google to spin off Chrome.

If someone is arguing against due process, just ask them if they believe someone is innocent until proven guilty. It's the same thing.

It isn't that America lacks courage. It's that we’ve become so cut off from one another that many of us feel alone, which makes us feel afraid. But when we are surrounded by courageous people, all of us become more courageous.  Courage is contagious.

Riggs: We all should be offended that our service members and their families are being targeted the way they are. The people who raise their hands to serve shouldn’t be first in line to lose their ballot just because they happen to be coming from a Democratic county. That’s just not right.

Newsom: The world we’ve come to know—and some of us revere and love. The country. All of that is now at risk because of the recklessness—and there’s no other way to describe it—of one individual: the President of the United States.

Lamont: DOGE says we’re just getting rid of waste, fraud, and abuse—that’s nonsense. All they’re doing is pushing costs onto the state. When we get cuts, we don’t get any notice. All of a sudden, the portal turns off and they stop paying for daycare, they stop paying for Health Department services..

Dow Down 2200+ Points Fox:

Obama: Imagine if I had done any of this. Imagine if I had pulled Fox News’ credentials. Imagine if I had said to law firms that you will not be allowed into government buildings. It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent now would have tolerated behavior like that from me

We lost Supreme Court 5 years ago with the machiavellian tactics of Mitch, Lindsey and Trump. They completely fcuked up the Supreme Court Justices by nominating their puppets and we watched silently. 🤬

Hands off Social Security. Hands off Medicaid. Hands off veteran care. Hands off our kids’ education. Hands off our rights. We’re going to fight like hell to defend our democracy from Donald Trump. #HandsOff

The #HandsOff rally in Chicago is packed!

This is Utah in case anyone’s wondering how pissed off people are. I have never seen anything like this.

To the world: We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom. —With love, Your American allies.

💙 DC never disappoints. #handsoff
