Fuck Vance. Everyone who voted to supported Hegseth or voted to confirm him should *have* to watch the execution. You can't enable this violence and get to claim delicate sensibilities. If it feels wrong to watch, it's probably wrong to do and you should do you best to keep it off the air.

When she was running for governor 32 years ago she couldn’t afford health care, so she can relate to what Mainers are going through under the regime she supports and votes with 96% of the time. 🙄

Astronaut, neurologist, and photographer Dr. Roberta Bondar was #Canada's first female astronaut (1992). #WorldSpaceWeek 🚀 The world's first neurologist in space, she is globally recognized for her contributions to space medicine. #WomenInSTEM robertabondar.com

A formal portrait of Dr. Roberta Lynn Bondar from her 1992 NASA Space Shuttle Discovery mission (STS-42). Dr. Bondar, a board-certified neurologist and payload specialist, is centered in the frame from the waist up, smiling warmly with an approachable, confident expression. Her short, dark brown hair is styled in a soft crop. She wears a vibrant orange NASA Launch and Entry spacesuit featuring a black neck ring, a prominent circular mission patch on her right chest, and a rectangular name tag with a gold astronaut symbol on her left chest. Her hands rest gently on a dark surface in the foreground next to her matching white flight helmet, which features a large, glossy black visor. Framed closely behind her are two flags: the American Stars and Stripes on the left and the Canadian Maple Leaf on the right, symbolizing the international scientific partnership. The composition is balanced and official, radiating a proud, triumphant, and historic mood that commemorates breaking barriers for women in STEM.

I think one trap we fall into is treating disinformation as a supply issue, rather than a demand issue. Is this people being converted into skeptics by Fox, or people seeking out media that aligns with their experiences, however flawed it may be?

A Labor Day reminder: having a job is no longer enough to protect millions of Americans from homelessness. For many workers, the greatest threat isn't losing their job. It's that their job will never pay enough, never provide enough hours, never offer enough stability to keep them housed.
