Here is some chilling writing about the state of the U.S. on the brink of authoritarianism - sound too alarmist? Give this SubStack piece (from the RegenFuturist) a thorough read and see the similarities to past conversions from Democracy to Fascist regime.

We are watching the Trump administration illegally dismantle the entire infrastructure of our country, and Democrats are saying "Well, what can we do?"

The failures of imagination and action are... disappointing at best. Just lay down and be the carpet that leads us all the way to autocracy.
This is interesting because the question is less what they will do as *legislators* and more what they will do as *politicians*. AOC is a member of the House minority, but she’s doing a lot of politics about all of this anyway.
CNN: Is democratic leadership is doing enough?

SENATOR JACKY ROSEN: I think that we have to realize that we're in the minority. They have the White House, they have the House, and they have the Senate. So the tools that are available to us here as legislators...they are limited.

Dear Manager, this week

1) I walked 500 miles
2) and then I walked 500 more
3) I did it just to be the one who walked 1000 miles
4) then fall down
5) was it at your door? I feel like it was at your door

OK, since the cat's out of the bag (and we're official) I'm happy to report we were granted time to use JWST to look at #2024YR4 and measure its size in about a month. :) 🔭🛰️
NEW: There is a small chance that an asteroid will strike Earth in 2032. What can we do? Well, first, we track it, and study it, very closely.

Here's how that's done—and why, for the first first time, JWST has joined forces with planetary defenders. www.nationalgeographic.com/science/arti...
This asteroid may hit Earth in 2032. Don't panic—scientists have a plan.
Space agencies have systems in place to spot, track, and forecast the future orbits of potentially hazardous asteroids.
