- Organized a city wide general strike
- Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence
- Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE

We are seeing incredible acts of solidarity today in Minnesota and across the country.
The next days and months and years will require this from us — and demand our courage. Be prepared.

Last week I used my #dwarf3 to photograph the Orion Nebula. I love imaging Orion as it takes me back to my very first Astro shot in 2021. I processed the 2008x15 second subs in PixInsight.

AOC: An agency that is attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping five-year-olds and using them as bait, and privately circulating the idea that they can violate the rights of Americans by busting down their doors—they deserve to be defunded, and I’ll take any step in that direction.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.
But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.
The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

At least 30 individual or corporations who have given over $116M to Trump and his super PAC have received regulatory favors from the Trump White House.
That includes Big Tobacco companies, Pharma giants, and crypto moguls like the Winklevoss twins.

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.
