Do not assume that everything they set out to do is inevitable. They have been successfully fought on multiple fronts, from courtroom wins that have actually stuck to city and state governments that haven't backed down, to activists in the streets organizing against their violence.
Our enemies are cowards and we're going to defeat them.

What a week it's been for morale.
Just now: The plaintiffs who were arguing that Utah GOP's congressional map is illegal won in court.
The judge orders one of the two maps submitted by the plaintiffs ('map 1') be used.
The ruling, if it stands, guarantees that Democrats will pick up a congressional seat in Utah next year.

More fun with Trumpy numbers.
He's floated sending $2,000 checks to every household, "except rich ones," whatever that means, financed by tariff revenues.
It would cost $265 billion. Tariff revenue since Liberation Day has totaled $151 billion.
Bit of a shortfall.

The real question is, do you want to own shares in a crumbling empire?
POLITICO: “.. The White House was blindsided by the idea, according to two people familiar with the situation .. and is now dealing with a furious backlash from conservative allies, business leaders and lawmakers.” 🤡

That's the end of Milky Way Season 2025 for this guy.
Earlier tonight somewhere in California.
2x sky shots and a couple foregrounds merged.
Rough ending, but a glorious season. By far my best.
2026 we're planning the early season much tighter.
We're coming for your panoramas, galaxy.

BREAKING: We won!
Today the 3rd Circuit Court ordered the @post-gazette.com to restore our contract it illegally tore up 5 years ago. That’s our health care, PTO, right to a 40-hr. work week, short-term disability and so much more we’ve struck for 3+ years.
