The way ICE has treated Wilbur Garcés Pérez amounts to torture. All of this with a bullet lodged in his back and unable to move the left side of his body. Tomorrow I will visit Wilber with Congressman Greg Casar and report back on his condition.

NASA astronaut Sunita Williams is the second-most experienced female spacewalker with 9 spacewalks. Her total spacewalk time of 62 hours and 6 minutes is fourth overall and the most by a woman. She was born #OTD in 1965. #WomenInSTEM
An official NASA portrait of astronaut Sunita Williams wearing a full white Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU) spacesuit. The bulky suit displays an American flag patch on the left shoulder, a mission patch on the right, and various controls on the chest pack; she holds the gold-visored helmet. With long dark hair framing her smiling face, she poses confidently in front of a large draped American flag against a cloudy Earth-toned backdrop, symbolizing American space exploration.

The American people should never forget that when they faced exploding costs from a failed war in Iran and dangerous uncertainty from unchecked artificial intelligence, House Republicans decided to cancel work in Washington and go home for nearly eight weeks. Shameful.

1/ Republicans sold vouchers as a lifeline for disabled children. Then they built a system where private schools can refuse those children while taking public money with fewer public duties. Disabled kids were not the destination. They were the door. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

Isn’t it interesting though that Mike Johnson shrugs all this off as just provocative things said just to create a “persona online” from one of his ACTUAL NOMINEES FOR CONGRESS, but Hasan Piker, who isn’t running for anything, supposedly represents the entire Democratic Party.

But in fascist times, the issue is a binary! Nobody appears to be grasping this. There is no middle ground on civil rights, because fascism seeks to destroy them. You can’t compromise with just a little bit of bigotry, just a wee drop of fascism. Either rights are for all or they are meaningless.

9/11 should evoke many things. Memories of those lost. Admiration for the courage of those who sacrificed so much. But it also should engender humility. Before and after the attack, the U.S. national security establishment failed repeatedly. Intel failed. Our reactions to the attack...

Biden checks his watch at a ceremony and Fox does nonstop segments on it for weeks. But Trump falls asleep repeatedly at the 9/11 ceremony and they won’t even show it. But national broadcast news networks won’t show it either because that would be impolite.

I am tired of people saying we can’t win in front of the Supreme Court. I’m annoyed by those who say my firm is too partisan to be effective. Today we won a huge redistricting fight before SCOTUS and a ballot access case before the Nebraska Supreme Court. The lesson: When we fight we win.

Astrophotographer Adam (AJ) Smadi caught this image a few hours ago from Washington state. A thin crescent Moon, sunlight illuminating the rugged lunar surface. And 2,400 times farther away—and on the other side of the Sun—mighty Jupiter, and its moons Io (left) and Ganymede (right).
A crescent Moon seen during the day, arcing from upper left to lower right of the frame. At lower centre is the full disk of Jupiter; the small dots to its upper left and lower right and Io and Ganymede, respectively.

Total Lunar Eclipse - 26 May 2021 - From Ángel López-Sánchez - flic.kr/p/2m1PLyZ
This image combines 50 x 1" exposures, ISO 800, obtained with my CANON 5D Mark III attached at primary focus of my Skywatcher Black Diamond 80mm f600mm (F/7.5) during the Total Lunar Eclipse on Wednesday 26 May 2021, between 9:00pm and 9:04pm, Sydney local time.

The frames were manually aligned with Photoshop, then extracted as new frames to Lynkeos, that did the fine alignment. Drizzling x2 was also used. Then the combined image was taken to Photoshop, where the colour, highlights/shadows, and contrast were tuned. This got only the image of the eclipsed moon.

Additionally, I combined the full 266 x 1" images I took during totality using Siril to get the stellar background.

They two combined frames (eclipsed moon + stars) were combined with Photoshop with a bit of extra tuning to get a nice background.

The image taken at 9:03pm was used as reference for the alignment.

All the data were taken during the 4 hours ONLINE event "Conversaciones astronómicas bajo la luna eclipsada" that I organised with the "Red Andaluza de Astronomía" (RAdA), "Agrupación Astronómica de Córdoba" (AAC), "Asociación de Lengua y Cultura Española" (ALCE) de Australia and the "Spanish Researchers in Australia-Pacific" (SRAP-IEAP), that was followed by many schools in Spain.

I also want to thank Alicia Lozano (RAdA), Héctor Socas-Navarro (Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias), María Ribes (Universidad de Alicante) and Alberto Aparici (In...
