The conservative organization America First Legal (AFL) accused NASCAR of “ongoing, deliberate, and illegal discrimination against white, male Americans.” Curious because of the 42 drivers on the entry list for the 2024 Daytona 500, for example, only one was Black, and zero were women.

8 years ago today at the meeting of the Outer Planets Assessment Group, Zibi Turtle told the planetary science community about a mission concept called Dragonfly. What a wonderful, impossibly hard, and rewarding trip this has been, so far. ❤️

This is how our government has been corrupted: 1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office. 2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor. 3) Donors make a huge profit. 4) Repeat. For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

A reminder that Elon Musk's corporations were promised $3 billion across nearly 100 different contracts last year with 17 federal agencies. While DOGE cuts essential services for you, Musk is getting a taxpayer-funded windfall.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

The richest man in the world-an unelected South African apartheid beneficiary-is emotionally and financially abusing and cyberbullying the entire federal workforce, including thousands of disabled veterans. We must fight this in Congress, the courts, and the streets every. single. day.

Our perspective on history is inherently limited because each of us only gets at most 100 years here. Each of us has & will live through events that test our individual & collective will & character. We can’t control those events, but we can control how we respond to them. That power is everything.

My grandfather (whom I never met as he was 52 when my mom was born in 1945 & died when she was 3) said this to a Chicago newspaper while in federal prison for union organizing in the 1920s. His words are a huge inspiration to me now. I honestly feel like he is inside of my being or watching over me.

The wages of the richest 1% have skyrocketed 182% since 1979. Meanwhile, the wages of the bottom 90% have seen just 44% growth. Trickle down economics was always a hoax.

The government shuts down on March 14 unless Congress passes a new spending bill. Republicans need Democratic votes to pass anything, but they’re pushing a budget that slashes essential programs, attacks basic rights, and hands unchecked power over to Trump, Elon Musk, and their billionaire allies.
