I've already gotten the "Blue Sky isn't normal" thing, but I just know that when I see leaders willing to fight, I'm elated. Leaders who fold, deflated.
I don't think most of the Democratic base are dummies either. We know leadership in the Senate are folders, not fighters.
Disappointing.

2. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ne_supr... is a reminder that this is the source of many of our ills today.

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 NYT has earned their reputation of bring harmful and dangerous to trans people and especially trans kids. That’s entirely on them. If my kid was trans I wouldn’t trust the NYT either.
heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.

Mamdani terrifies the Oligarchs. They need to understand that he's the compromise because if they continue to push our country further into dystopia to further their insatiable greed and need for control, something much more radical will be the reaction to it. They'll think of Mamdani as a moderate.
