So, I was reading the FY26 President's Budget for NASA, and the DSCOVR, ACE, and WIND missions are proposed to be canceled. Sooo where are we going to get solar wind data?

If useful to anyone for tomorrow or whenever, all printable off of my site spinweaveandcut.com/due-process/
A small comics panel, with a drawing of a King ace of spades playing card drawn in the style of traditional playing cards, but with the features of King George III, and the upper portion resembles Trump. Excerpts from the Declaration of Independence are written small around the card. Each of these phrases refers specifically to the injustices imposed by the King (and connect to this current moment – references to Tariffs, to transporting us overseas…) At top in Large letters – “DISCARD.” At Bottom, #NoKings and my info: Nick Sousanis @nsousanis.bsky.social www.spinweaveandcut.com single image closeup on the face of lady justice, in the background, all dark, human figures, faceless prisoners, seated, packed tightly together, bodies merging into a sea of heads, with each figure’s head another’s back. At top in large letters right above her head, text reads "Due process is not optional" A smaller caption box centered on her face where her blindfold would be reads: "No matter who you are." We’ve discarded a king before, we must do it again. #NoKings (excerpted and remixed from my comic on due process - with alt-text, notes, process, printable versions on my site - appreciate sharing https://spinweaveandcut.com/due-process/) A small comics panel - foreground lady justice holding the scales in one a prison cell in the other a court house. In the background, all dark, human figures, faceless prisoners, seated, packed tightly together, bodies merging into a sea of heads, with each figure’s head another’s back. Caption at top “What Process is Due?” Text caption: “Succinctly, due process means no one shall be deprived of “life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.” Next Caption: “this is not optional." This next caption is now on the scales of justice - right about the prison cell side: “Before bringing down the power of the state to remove a person’s rights,” Caption, above the other side of the scale, wherein a courthouse is held: “we raise up the protection of the law, this extends to everyone -“ caption now right over where Lady Justice’s blindfold is, obscuring it entirely: “No matter who you are.” Caption below: “whatever we think of you, whatever you might have done,” Caption: “it’s’ imperative everyone be treated fairly,” final caption lower right: “to ensure freedome for all.” and here we see a tiny image of the statue of liberty’s torch and hand. Nick Sousanis 5/25 @nsousanis.bsky.social www.spinweaveandcut.com Alt-text: A comics page in black and white, addressing the concept that a country is an idea - and ours is built on among other things the concept of due process (which goes back to the Magna Carta). Images and text all snake across the page across a backdrop of humans imprisoned, and packed together, becoming a black mass in the lower right. I’ve written full description of the imagery with all the text on my site at the link (can’t put enough characters here…) Alt-text: A comics page in black and white, addressing the concept that a country is an idea - and ours is built on among other things the concept of due process (which goes back to the Magna Carta).

Mark Klein, who died March 8, showed enormous bravery in exposing the largest U.S. government domestic spying operation in history. "I'm just devastated that we weren't able to get Mark justice during his lifetime,” EFF’s Cindy Cohn told @theregister.com.

I'd like to bring this video to your attention.

It's doing pretty significant numbers for what it is, so while I understand sharing it won't make a difference for those knee-deep in the cult of personality, I'd say it has a better-than-average chance of resonating.

At EFF we spend a lot of time thinking about the tech used by police and authorities to spy on you while you’re going about your everyday life, like cell-site simulators (CSS). Rayhunter is a new open source tool we’ve created that we hope empowers everyone to help search out CSS around the world.
