Starship blowing up is a bigger deal than you think. It’s not a prototype in a sandbox anymore, it’s a $4B NASA contract to land humans on the Moon ($2.8B initially, $4B with follow-ons). Every explosion is taxpayer-funded hardware going up in flames.

The USA's E-4B "Doomsday" mobile military command HQ – a converted Boeing 747 equipped to withstand a nuclear blast – is said to be airborne. “Nightwatch” is only launched during high level crises, such as when planning to attack Iran in an undeclared war on behalf of Benjamin Netanyahu.

It's worth reflecting on today's meaning as Canadians, too. Not only were we not a particularly warm, welcoming end to the Underground Railroad, but we have our own, rarely-discussed history of slavery as well. And we must learn from our neighbours' current situation what not to do as well.

You know, I don't have time for Obama right now. Maybe when he writes a rebuttal for Project 2025 or does something to earn his Nobel Prize. Instead of panels he could be holding town halls all over the country with marginalized Americans, but no. I don't have time for him right now.

I started paying into Social Security when I was 10, have worked steadily since I was 15, and retired at 75 with reasonable savings and SS. I, like so many others, payed into and earned this modest retirement. Send Musk to Mars and Trump to jail.

I’m doing history content on YouTube. This is my latest video! Like and subscribe if you want to see more! And what should I tackle next? I am thinking of doing a video on the varieties of antislavery in antebellum America. Maybe also the 3/5ths Compromise?

66-year-old Victor Avila—a green card holder since 1967—was detained by ICE at SFO after visiting his U.S. Airman son in Japan. Despite a decades-long life in the U.S., he’s now been transferred to ICE detention near Bakersfield. His family is fighting back. #BlueSky #MedSky #NewsSky

My law firm is currently litigating 55 voting and election cases in 24 states. Two points: This is a very large caseload for this point in the election cycle. It is more evenly spread across states than usual which reflects the creep of voter suppression laws into even safe GOP states.
