"The spirit of liberty requires moral courage among the people who are elected to Congress... but it also requires all of us It requires us to speak out without fear It requires us to tell others unpleasant truths that they do not want to hear."

The sane people of the US have been saying the same thing since 2017.

A vibrant official NASA portrait of astronaut Laurel Clark, mission specialist on STS-107 (Space Shuttle Columbia), taken before her 2003 flight. She is shown in a three-quarter view, smiling warmly at the camera with an open, confident expression. She has shoulder-length curly brown hair and fair skin. She wears the bright orange NASA launch-and-entry suit (ACES), complete with the American flag patch on her left shoulder, NASA insignia on the chest, her name tag "LAUREL CLARK" with gold wings above it, and the STS-107 mission patch on the left chest. She rests her right arm/hand on her black-and-white NASA helmet. The helmet's reflective visor shows faint reflections of lights and surroundings. Behind her are two large vertical flags: the U.S. flag on the left with stars and stripes visible, and a dark blue NASA banner with partial text "AND SPACE A" (likely "National Aeronautics and Space Administration") on the right. The background is softly lit with a gradient of warm tones, emphasizing her poised and approachable demeanor as a physician, naval officer, and space explorer who tragically perished in the Columbia disaster. The overall composition conveys professionalism, pride, and dedication to space exploration.

US Navy Captain Dr. Laurel Clark tragically died during her first space mission (Space Shuttle Columbia). She was a mission specialist on STS-107, a 16-day dedicated science mission, conducting experiments focusing on bioscience & gardening in space. She was born #OTD in 1961.

So how’s Trump doing with ending that Russia-Ukraine *excursion* that he was going to end in 24 hours?

Very disappointing, though ultimately unsurprising, to see the DOJ surrender in the middle of the Ticketmaster-LiveNation case after political pressure from the top. Hopefully the states will continue to push to break up a monopoly that should have never been allowed to exist in the first place.

The United States needs some therapy…it’s called IMPEACHMENT!!!

Seattle litigator appointed to Washington Supreme Court • Washington State Standard Washington Gov. Bob Ferguson on Monday appointed Seattle litigator Theo Angelis to the state Supreme Court.

Gov. Bob Ferguson has appointed Seattle attorney Theo Angelis to the Washington Supreme Court!

With decades of legal experience and a strong record of public service, Angelis will help progress the future of justice in Washington!

It is hard to think of any case of a leader being more submissive to an adversary than Trump is to Putin.

Putin could kill someone from Trump’s family and he would still praise him while attacking Zelensky over it

Legacy media is failing democracy. Rather than just complain, I did something about. Six years ago I started Democracy Docket from scratch. Now it has more than 400,000 subscribers. But to help protect democracy, it needs to grow and scale. Subscribing now. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

I don’t think unconditional surrender is imminent.

This stone stopped me in my tracks. For a moment I thought I had discovered rock art, but up close the patterns were clearly natural. With my very limited geology knowledge, my best guess is a Liesegang ring. I’d love to take it home, but it weighs more than my backpack!

Israeli Imperialism wants to expand borders and dominate the Middle East.

Netanyahu wants to remain in power & out of jail.

The result: Constant aggression wars and genocide.

Europe silently agrees and condones.

The US violently supports the effort.

And here we are.

Go for it

Coming up on 30 years since the Dunblane school shooting massacre (13th March 1996) and watching another documentary about it. The families wanted to end legal handgun ownership and we passed those laws. We’ve not had a school shooting since. I ache for all Americans who cannot get this done there.

Fetterman doesn’t even give a shit about the kids in Iran. Let that in for a second.

Just saw on The news oil may reach 200 a barrel .. Th highest ever was 147 a barrel .. ughhh

Bondi's next hearing, she should be ready for...

If Bondi Lies under Oath, shown unredacted statements, Photos and Videos after she lies.

After her hearing, Bondi should be Arrested, Handcuffed this time around, without Bail for Perjury and Obstruction of Justice.

Good thing trucks that transport millions of products every day in the US don’t use diesel so we don’t have to worry about inflation getting worse.
