“It is a little unfair, I think, to criticize a person for not sharing the enlightenment of a later epoch, but it is also profoundly saddening that such prejudices were so extremely pervasive.” ― Carl Sagan

@vanhollen.senate.gov You heard Secretary Duffy! Go into Congress and demand to end ICE funding, the ballroom funding, the Arch funding, the Iran war funding, etc, and put it into a system that Americans need and use (upgrading the FAA systems).

Humanity has never reached this far. NASA’s Voyager 1 is passing an unprecedented milestone: one light-day from Earth. A radio signal traveling at the speed of light now takes 24 full hours just to reach the probe—nearly 50 years into its journey. 🛰️✨

Republicans have introduced a federal ‘catch kit’ bill that would require miscarriage & abortion patients to sift thru their blood to separate pregnancy remains from “other solid waste,” put it in a “brightly colored” bag labeled “HUMAN FETAL REMAINS,” and bring their doc. It’s fucking deranged

New Federal Bill Would Mandate ‘Catch Kits’ For Miscarriage & Abortion Patients

This is what Republicans are doing while Americans can’t afford food, btw

This is so wrong The reason “Trump didn’t steal the elections” is because we & the pro-voter coalition stopped him EIGHT times over the past 21 months Here’s how: a thread (1/x)

'In 1860, an enslaved man named Sheppard Peek was listed among the possessions of William Peek, a white man in Crawfordville. His value was placed at $1,400. More than a century and a half later, Sheppard’s great-great-granddaughter, Keisha Lance Bottoms, was elected governor of Georgia.'

Keisha Lance Bottoms and the long road from Crawfordville to Governor’s Mansion

More than 160 years after her ancestors were enslaved in Georgia, the former Atlanta mayor has made history as the first Black woman elected governor.

Please excuse legacy media. They have been too preoccupied with the similarity of two names on an Alaska ballot to report that former Miss Switzerland Beatrice Keul alleges that Donald Trump brutally raped her in a suite at New York's Plaza Hotel in November of 1993.
