How Lucky sleeps, knowing he lives in Massachusetts and knowing his senators likely aren't going to give up on pushing for ACA credits.

Lucky is against the White House construction.
Not for nationalistic/historical reasons, he's concerned that the noise will bother the dogs nearby. Lucky is afraid of the sound of LOUD RAIN. He's against the construction noise.

Bring Link back to BlueSky (!!!). I spoke to him for a few months back at @motherjones.com for an as-told-to piece, here's an excerpt in his own words. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
![We always need more people who have different perspectives than the traditional entrance perspectives of space capitalism, space militarism, and space surveillance. I think having people who love and care about space, and [envision] a different future for space than people like Elon Musk, is really important to fight those [interests].
Military companies and weapons manufacturers who are traditionally space companies, or traditionally operate in the space sector, are the ones who are building the bombs and the technology to kill Palestinians in Gaza, but also the surveillance technology in the West Bank. So when you think about companies like Boeing or Lockheed, they’re major players in the defense industry, but also major players in the space industry, because the defense industry in the space industry have been tied since the beginning. And when you think about the surveillance technology, that the Israel Defense Forces use in order to select their targets. All of those are operating within the realm of space and space activity, and so those technologies are used to [facilitate the] genocide of Palestinians.
Space law has taught me that there are lots of avenues for a special interest. We don’t always know that there are different ways that we can be involved with the things we love most and care about the most, beyond just traditional pathways.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:w4ixebqlvte6vyo225tljtmk/bafkreiag7wxumc5guamcrvimptcxu3nh5vzbi546wpxnpebtbyx762mcyi@jpeg)
