This will never stop blowing my mind. A 12-year sequence of real telescope images of a star 133 lightyears away. And around it, four planets slowly orbiting. Four real exoplanets, each more massive than Jupiter, imaged as they move around their host star.

Mark, one quote that always stuck with me from a British politician: in America you cover everything but not everyone; in Britain we cover everyone but not everything. It seems to me we need to have a base level of things that are covered and then supplemental insurance if you want more.

DHS took this post down because of the immediate backlash and outrage. This is incredibly racist and should have NEVER been posted. Anti-Sikh hate crimes increased 25% last year. Demonizing entire communities like this is unacceptable. Thank you to all the people who spoke out against this.
Racist deleted tweet from @DHSgov that depicts a Sikh trucker and Optimus Prime with "Self-Deport or Find Out" between them. And text at the bottom that says, "Get off our roads, you don't know how to drive Mr. Singh."

I appreciate that Dolly Parton refused to participate in "dress respectability" and, by her own account, modeled her aesthetic after a town "tramp," who she thought was beautiful. She separated aesthetics from character and understood "classiness" to be about how you treat people, not how you dress.

The whole point of the Bill of Rights is to protect the only true minority - the individual. It limits the governments power to harm the individual. The whole constitution is designed to limit the governments power.

I hate the whole framing of the "putting trans kids on hormones" debate CIS KIDS ARE ON HORMONES TOO. They just came free with their puberty. It's the same hormones, as well. And if the kid is intersex in a way that means their body doesn't make sex hormones, guess what we do? PUT THEM ON HORMONES

Found this post on reddit and the last bit nails it: “Please don't remember her for the horrific end to her life. Remember her for who she was, a true blessing. To everyone around her.”
catboyfentanyl • 1h
l've known her for 6 years. She was a best friend to me. She loved meteorology, music, singing. She loved buying jewelry and perfume. She would join vc on discord and show us her outfit, tell us about her day, or just talk about anything that was on her mind. She loved her dogs back in NM. She only wished the best for everyone in her life. She was so caring, always wanted to listen, always there if you needed her. It's silly but, I'm glad she got to play silksong before this happened. She's a huge hollow knight fan, steven universe fan, she had so many interests and hobbies. She was the sweetest, most kindest soul I've ever met in my life. Her being there helped me through the darkest times in my life. I cannot express enough how much of a heart of gold she had. Everyone she knew loved her so so much. I don't know if I'II ever get over the aching void that's in my heart now after this. My heart aches so bad for her family too. I've been crying nonstop ever since the 12th when my friends found out she was the one who died from the news articles. She had so much life left to live, she was so ambitious no matter what got in her way. Just the most beautiful soul ever. I can't believe she's gone.
Please don't remember her for the horrific end to her life. Remember her for who she was, a tru blessing. To everyone around her.

I keep wanting to say something, and I keep not knowing what to say. The trans community does not harm cis people by existing. They are just trying to live their lives, same as anyone else. That life doesn't look exactly like mine; my life doesn't match anyone else's. That's okay.

Anyone who belongs to any minority group needs to be aware that what is being done to trans people can and will be done to them. In a decade we have been stripped of our rights to exist in public spaces by a press campaign and a well funded lobby.

America can and must be bigger than their punitive politics.
The thing is, billionaires don't NEED a tax cut. They already have more money than they could ever hope to spend. So why does the Republican spending bill give them one, at the cost of health care for the sick and food for the hungry? To harm those they see as undeserving.

CLARIFICATION : The Trevor Project's hotline will still be live. But basically this means LGBTQ people can no longer be connected to it through the US national 988 suicide prevention hotline. They will need to be contacted DIRECTLY So spread this around They can be texted. They can be called.

Top-left, a line-drawing image of a cartoon woman with braided hair looking at text messages on her smartphone with a smile.

Top-right, "Text us from anywhere, anytime. Standard text messaging rates may apply." "Text 'START' to 678-678" button, "What to expect +" link.

Bottom-left, "Reach out to hear a live voice on the line." "Call us at 1-866-488-7386" button. "What to expect +" link.

Bottom-right, side-by-side line-drawing images of two cartoon people. On the left, a cartoon woman is holding her phone to her ear and looking up at the night sky. On the right, a cartoon phone agent is sitting in front of a laptop with a headset on in front of a bright, sunny sky.

very fun to read frederick douglass accurately describe the problem with the pardon power in 1867
A bad President, for
instance, has the power to do what? What can he not do? If he wanted to
revolutionize this government, he could easily do it with this ponderous
power; it would be an auxiliary power. He could cry “havoc, and let slip the
dogs of war,”29 and say to the conspirators: “I am with you. If you
succeed, all is well. If you fail, I will interpose the shield of my pardon, and
you are safe. If your property is taken away from you by Congress, I will
pardon and restore your property. Go on and revolutionize the government;
I will stand by you.” The bad man will say or might say this. I am not sure
but we have got a man now who comes very near saying it. Let us have done
with this pardoning power. We have had enough of this. Pardoning! How
inexpressibly base have been the uses made by this power—this beneficent
power. It has been that with which a treacherous President has trafficked.
He has made it the means of securing adherents to himself instead of
securing allegiance to the government.

this is a letter to the editor from a high school track runner who came in second to a trans girl in a race. her state house rep in maine started talking about it. so she wrote this: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...
Rep. Laurel Libby, R-Auburn, recently used my second-place finish in the 1,600-meter run, and that of my teammate in the 800-meter run, to malign Soren Stark-Chessa, the trans-identified athlete who finished first.

One of the reasons I chose to run cross-country and track is the community: Teammates cheering each other on, athletes from different schools coming together, and the fact that personal improvement is valued as much as, if not more than, the place we finish.

Last Friday, I ran the fastest 1,600-meter race I have ever run in middle school or high school track and earned varsity status by my school’s standards. I am extremely proud of the effort I put into the race and the time that I achieved. The fact that someone else finished in front of me didn’t diminish the happiness I felt after finishing that race. I don’t feel like first place was taken from me. Instead, I feel like a happy day was turned ugly by a bully who is using children to make political points.

We are all just kids trying to make our way through high school. Participating in sports is the highlight of high school for some kids. No one was harmed by Soren’s participation in the girls’ track meet, but we are all harmed by the hateful rhetoric of bullies, like Rep. Libby, who want to take sports away from some kids just because of who they are.
