"Save Gaza"
Graff piece in Turku, Finland
Toad stands on a rock, reading poetry to his seeds. From "The Garden" In *Frog and Toad Together*
And all the next day Toad read poems to his seeds.
This month in my 🧪🔭⚛️ column for @newscientist.com subscribers and library users, I wrote about how telling the difference between a galaxies and a star cluster actually isn't always easy
I loved prepping this column, the universe is so great 🥹
"Don't Forget Gaza and the Palestinians"
"Israel is using the illegal war on Iran to continue to kill and starve Gaza, steal more Palestinian land, and restrict movement in the West Bank, writes Diana Buttu for Zeteo. "Don't look away."
Yes.
ICE agents don't get to carve out a First Amendment exception for themselves.
It never stops 😢 🇵🇸

Morning all. A bit of cloud cover but still lovely and warm! Enjoy the Day 🌞
ICE must be abolished, and DHS dismantled. Let's start by passing my Melt ICE Act.
The NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope observed Herbig-Haro 49/50, an outflow from a nearby still-forming star, in high-resolution near- and mid-infrared light with the NIRCam and MIRI instruments. The intricate features of the outflow, represented in reddish-orange color, provide detailed clues about how young stars form and how their jet activity affects the environment around them. A chance alignment in this direction of the sky provides a beautiful juxtaposition of this nearby Herbig-Haro object (located within our Milky Way) with a more distant, face-on spiral galaxy in the background.

A little dose of celestial beauty for you.
This space tornado is a set of shockwaves created by high-speed gas flowing away from a newborn star. And the spooky lamp at its tip is a distant galaxy that (by coincidence) happens to appear right where the shock ends. 🧪🔭

Have they brought back DEI initiatives?
I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.
1/ Here's what I can share:
For those wanting to know more about Iran and voices from inside the country (rather than the fash-y monarchists outside), Naghmeh Sohrabi has been translating pieces from folks inside on her blog:

A cartoon by Ron Cobb (1975), showing a shadow of US B-52 bomber above cratered landscape. Two people who look like Vietnamese peasants look up; one says “they’re having problems with their economy again.”
This is from 1975.
wake up babe, it’s the end of days.
Thank you to Dr. Sundiata Cha-Jua for this incredibly meaningful endorsement. Dr. Cha-Jua served as a Professor at UIUC for many years and has written countless works on Black history. It’s been wonderful to learn more about him and the local and national organizations he represents.
Hegseth and anyone else claiming “oops, I accidentally massacred 175 children” are not above the law.

💔 💔 💔
Yes use the word children 😢 no more sugar-coating it. Vile depraved pedophiles.
One, they wanted the content.
Two, they wanted to get rid of women and Black people.
Three, they wanted to install loyalists.
Just a reminder that Muslims have been on this continent since the first arrival of non-Indigenous people. They were among the first generation of Americans, and have been here ever since.

What doesn't belong in America is this kind of hatred. Every Member of Congress should condemn this blatant Islamophobia.
Street mural of Harriet Tubman reaching toward the viewer with a helping hand. A little girl facing the mural is in the foreground for scale. Artist: Michael Rosato. The mural, painted in 2019, is located behind 424 Race Street in Cambridge, MD on the exterior wall of the Harriet Tubman Museum and Education Center.
Did you know that tomorrow, March 10th marks the National Day of Rest for Black Women, a day created to center rest, reflection, and renewal? It's also the anniversary of Harriet Tubman’s passing, honoring her powerful legacy of courage, resistance, and liberation.
We’re building something special: a movement to build an affordable America.
So sickening 💔 😢 the rapists and those who provide cover. Shame.
