It sends a pretty strong message that liberals see LGBTQ+ rights as an inconvenience to winning elections rather than standing up for oppressed people being integral to defeating fascism

And with a quick wipe down of the bench, the Kinetic 1/48 F-5B is done and in the display case. It was a decent build, and served as a base for a dive into oil's (which I haven't seriously used in a while). #HistScaleModels #scalemodel #buildthestash

I've gotten the decals and weathering sorted and done on the 1/48 F-5B, and started the weathering on the 1/35 Academy Whiskey Cobra; which still needs oils done. Next up for the F-5B is the undercarriage. #HistScaleModels #modelkits #buildthestash #scalemodel

1. I have fully read and reported on the SCOTUS anti-trans BPJ ruling today. The decision is very bad, though not as bad as the worst case scenarios. It will still likely lead to mass discrimination in both red and blue states against trans people. Subscribe to support our journalism.

CNN: The last time the SPR had less oil than today was July 1983, when the Reagan administration was filling the reserve for the first time and when the United States had a smaller economy.

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖
A pride flag with every color band represented by a NASA image. White is Earth clouds, pink is aurora, blue is the Sun in a specific wavelength, brown is Jupiter clouds, black is the Hubble deep field, red is the top of sprites, orange is a Mars crater, yellow is the surface of Io, green is a lake with algae, blue is Neptune, and purple is the Crab Nebula in a specific wavelength.

At least you have a chance when your left of center party is willing to fight for your rights. When they come back into power. But when both parties abandon you, you’ve lost for a generation.

I don't think most people have even tried to grasp how it feels for trans people to be segregated, hunted, betrayed by allies, met with silence and neutrality by friends & family, and then wake up every single day to see articles and polls asking if there's a Centrist Solution to the Trans Problem.
 New York Times/Siena poll

May 11-15

In order to win the next presidential election, do you think the Democratic candidate needs to move the party to the left, move the party to the center, or not move it in either direction … ?
Responses from potential Democratic supporters:
38% of Democratic voters think Democrats should become more anti-trans, 34% say they should do nothing, 23% say we should be protected.
