An old hippie, 71, retired, widowed and hanging on for all I'm worth. I LOVE Sci-Fi, nature photography, my adopted state of Oregon, dogs, dogs, dogs and people too. I'm a progressive liberal atheist humanist and won't apologize for being any of those.✌🏻

DM's. It really should go without saying that here on Bluesky DM's are unacceptable unless invited, solicited or at least one gets permission out in the public space from the account owner before sending a DM.

It's pushy and rude to just DM someone. Don't do it without prior permission.

Agreed?

NASA's Artemis II mission is due for launch in February this year (maybe April) and will take four astronauts around the Moon in the Orion spaceship. But what's most amazing is that in modern day America, one of the astronauts is black and one is a woman!

DHS getting basic 4th Amendment law wrong on its official Twitter account.

Seems like this post is bound to show up as an exhibit in one of the cases challenging ICE/Border Control enforcement actions.

I agree 💯%!

I love the second episode so much that I'm thinking of rewatching it very soon, before the next episode is aired.

So much Trek canon. I just love it. It feels like this show is for the fans by fans. 💜🖖🏼💜🖖🏼💜

Thousands of Danes and Greenlanders are protesting #Shit4Brain’s annexation efforts today in Copenhagen to make clear we shouldn’t annex Greenland.

We stand with our NATO partners.

I have a question for military people, do you want your children to grow up in Trumps America? Do you like the state of the country? Do you like Trumps miserable attitude? It will affect your children. Is he worth losing your life so he can steal more $$$? Follow the Constitution!!!

THANK YOU FOR CARING.

I'm streaming TOS right now and am so glad to revisit the episodes that I've seen hundreds of times each since the show came out in 1966.

If you haven't seen Star Fleet Academy yet you'll likely love it. It's overflowing with Trek canon. So much fun.

How congress can sit on their asses and just write strongly worded letters is beyond my understanding.

THEY HAVE THE POWER TO STOP THIS.

THEY HAVE THE POWER TO STOP trump!

But likely. For people like him there's never enough. He'll never stop until he's stopped by the people that have the legal power to do so.

Are these not all NATO allies?
New tariff just dropped.

Americans set to pay an additional 10% tax on all goods from Germany, the UK, France, the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland.

It starts in two weeks, rising to 25% by June.

When you feel you need to point out that a victim was a christian you're saying that somehow what happened to them is much worse, more heinous and less acceptable than had to happened to someone who isn't a christian.

It has to stop. It doesn't serve the victim and it sure doesn't benefit justice.

Isn't it time for @housedemocrats.bsky.social and @senatedemocrats.bsky.social to subpoena ALL records, memos, emails and texts of orders for ICE, Border Patrol and ALL support personnel associated with their missions wherever they may be? We MUST find out what their orders are and who issued them.
