THREAD. Look what they’ve done. @PresidentBarbie.bsky.social I remember reading in 2006 that 2nd Lt. Perez had been killed. I thought “this was our future President, stolen by this unnecessary war.” I have never forgotten her. This photo is from the exhibit at NMAAHC. She will never be erased.

The tension in the Texas NASA community is overwhelming not knowing if they will keep their jobs or even if the space program will exist anymore. These men and women are heroes. The best of our nation. If NASA goes Cornyn and Cruz will pay politically.

There are some self-proclaimed Christians pushing voucher scams.
Vouchers take money from public schools and give it to wealthy parents who already send their kids to private school.
I can’t think of anything more un-Christian than stealing from the poor to give to the rich.
