$85 million dollars to move a retired Space Shuttle to Texas. This is a completely unnecessary expense. This is pork, plain and simple, and demonstrates the lie that the current administration and Republicans in Congress are concerned about waste, fraud, and abuse.

Absolutely. President Zelenskyy did not provoke Russia’s invasion. Ukraine did not take Russian territory until long after Russia’s incursion into Ukraine. Putin is not a friend to US or global interests. It is cowardly for Trump to submit to Putin and a betrayal of our values.
Please. No more speeches in the Senate about “freedom” until one Republican has the guts to stand up to Trump’s lies about Ukraine & Putin. Ukraine did not start this horrific war. Russia did. Zelensky isn't a dictator. Putin is. The US must not enter into an alliance with Putin.

Wholeheartedly agree.
For the US to side with Russia and North Korea to oppose a UN resolution condemning the illegal invasion of Ukraine defies all common sense and adds insult to the countless injuries suffered by the brave Ukrainian people. edition.cnn.com/2025/02/24/p...

I’m not surprised that Trump is once again trying to eliminate trans service members from the military, but I’m angry. I’m particularly angry about the verbiage that being trans “conflicts with a soldier’s commitment to an honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle, even in one’s personal life”.

I couldn’t agree more. Weaknesses in character are fundamental to espionage - knowingly placing someone with Hegeseth’s documented issues in a position of power and influence is beyond irresponsible.
The Secretary of Defense is too important a job for someone with Pete Hegseth’s sick personality, lack of experience and zero qualifications. He’s a danger to the nation.

A lot of folks are giving up in advance. Capitulating before a single skirmish.
Well, not this old warrior. I’ve seen much worse from the U.S. government in my day. I’m concerned for our country, but not a bit scared of these miscreants. I’m ready to do my part.

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. Each year, the trans community loses too many lives, especially trans women of color, to hate and violence.
More than ever, we must stand by our trans family and support them, hold space for them, and insist the scapegoating and targeting stop.
Now.

Repost/Reblog/Repeat, please and thank you! (This is the first strip I'll not be promoting over on Twitter, so it'd be a particularly huge help.)

Obligatory first post. I love science, philosophy, and technology. My career focus is technology in healthcare; I believe we can help patients and practitioners achieve better outcomes. My chosen faith is Unitarian Universalist. I love reading speculative fiction and learning as much as I can.
