I think democrats should push for a thorough review of all Elon Musk govt contracts as part of their 2026-8 portfolio. Why are taxpayers financing the work of a racist near-trillionaire? Leaving that unexamined was one of the biggest failures of the last Dem majority.

Most of the Goddard Space Flight Center Greenbelt Campus is planned to be demolished by March 2026, if not sooner.

What is happening at Goddard is absolutely devastating. We are losing history. We are losing an incredible amount of human talent, skill, and knowledge. Rebuilding it will be impossible same for same. Industry can not absorb the people or the equipment. This is undoing space science in the US.
Goddard spacecraft engineer: "I think it just kind of speaks to the atmosphere of the agency and the nation, where people are like, 'Well, laws don't matter for the people at the top anymore.'"
NASA is sinking its flagship science center during the government shutdown — and may be breaking the law in the process, critics say
"There is just a general acknowledgement that a lot of what is happening is illegal…"

The way all of these people convinced themselves that Mamdani is antisemitic is a subject far more worthy of media examination than any of the ‘groupthink on campuses!’ thinkpieces we’ve been subjected to

We’re at the point where we have open letters from rabbis arguing with other open letters from rabbis, which actually feels very much in the spirit of rabbinic discourse. www.jta.org/2025/10/30/u...
A second rabbinic letter, arguing against Jewish rejections of Mamdani, enters the NYC mayor's race - Jewish Telegraphic Agency
The letter, signed so far by more than 200 rabbis, rejects the idea that Mamdani's pro-Palestinian activism reflects hatred of Jews.

Props to Brian Lehrer @wnyc.org for gently insisting that his guests pronounce “Mamdani” correctly. “It like “mom” — everybody has a mom”

In the last week, Trump tore down a portion of the White House, claims that a friend of his is paying the military, posted a video of him dumping shit on the American people, demanded hundreds of millions of dollars from DoJ, and unleashed vicious ICE agents on peaceful American cities.

When you are feeling weary or despairing, remember that there are people in every corner of the world taking life affirming action in the direction of more justice. The fact that you can't see it all is a comfort because it means there is an excess of positive actions happening all at once. #onwards

Forget birth certificates, I just want one state to say “No, you need a *passport* to vote” and see what actually happens to the voting demographic.
Lawmakers in at least 27 states have introduced bills that would require voters to provide citizenship documents like a birth certificate or passport to vote. Such rules would block huge numbers of American citizens from

State Bills Would Require Passport or Birth Certificate to Register to Vote
As the Senate considers the SAVE Act, some state legislators are trying to replicate the bill’s restrictive show-your-papers requirements for voter registration.

"Alligator Alcatraz" is wrong and media should not use it. It's propaganda. Alcatraz held people convicted of crimes, particularly violent crimes.
The Florida camp holds people *not* convicted of any crime. If they had been, they'd be in prison elsewhere.
The site is a textbook concentration camp.

I know the media is going to unthinkingly start using “Alligator Alcatraz,” but it’s disgusting and sadistic and I intend to call it what it is, a fucking concentration camp, and fuck those people who are doing this and giving it a cutesy name.
