This is an incredibly stupid decision.
The FAA has agreed to use SpaceX’s Starlink internet system to manage US airspace.

Yet another contract for Elon Musk to profit from while he's slashing funding for others.

The conflict of interest is appalling.

Peace, understanding, and compassion are possible. In 1951, the people of Seattle raised money to buy playgrounds for Hiroshima, Japan.

It did not undo the atomic bombing, but it was one step forward. Some are still in use today.

I wrote about it, an ad-free read.
Hiroshima playgrounds came from Seattle - ba-kground
Hiroshima playgrounds are filled with slides, swings, and jungle gyms bought by the people of Seattle in 1951, hoping for peace.

What if there were a coup, the US government fell to a drug-addled oligarch who seized control of our money, secrets, and levers of power, and Corporate media did not report on it?

Donald Trump is like the bad landlord who DIYs a kitchen install then claims it’s your fault when the house burns down.

He’s burning the country down & he will blame anyone but himself for it bc he doesn’t care.

The only reason ICE would be at schools is to take innocent children into custody in order to lure their parents. Family separation 2.0.

No. The Medicaid portals were shut down because the OMB demanded they be. They’re only back up because of the outcry. I’d tell you to stop lying but we know that’s a feature of this administration.
