Spacewoman (2025). Really surprised this story hasn't been told in detail before. Eileen Collins was the first female pilot and commander at NASA. I was engrossed in this documentary from the off. The shuttle launches and space shots made it really worth seeing in the cinema #FilmSky #DocuSky

After the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, then-Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi supported raising the age to 21 to purchase assault weapons in Florida.
But when asked yesterday, she avoided the question. This is what the gun lobby’s influence looks like.

The gun industry often justifies its staunch opposition to common-sense gun safety measures—like background checks on all gun sales and Red Flag laws—with unfounded claims of concern for gun owners’ privacy. This is hypocrisy at its finest.
In a new lawsuit, the gun industry’s trade association—the NSSF—has been accused of running a decades-long program that sent gun owners’ personal information to political operatives without consent.
Gun Owners Sue NSSF for Using Personal Data Without Consent
The lawsuit accuses the gun industry trade group of secretly deploying gun owners’ personal data for political campaigns.
