IMHO this piece vastly understates the shitshow that currently constitutes space governance. there is no functional multilateral space agreement & the US-sponsored Artemis Accords are fundamentally at odds with basic principles of int'l space law. carving up of this global commons is coming soon

A treaty from the 1960s declared that nobody can own outer space. Half a century later, billionaires and superpowers see fortunes to be made nonetheless.

John Roberts' friend and defender is quoted in the piece, saying they shouldn't be shaming Roberts for the wreckage and ruin he's brought to this country because of "civility." The bullies always cry "civility" when the victims push back in the slightest.

I stopped reading after the lie in the first sentence: "Most college professors I know believe that students learn to think — critically, creatively, reflectively, tenaciously — only by writing." "<only> by writing"? Literally, no one thinks this. Don't. Print. Lies. In. The. Newspapers.

This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

Trump only wants to admit refugees who look like him.   While he opens the doors for 17,500 more White South Africans, he's slamming them shut on those who truly are in harm’s way.   This sick global apartheid policy must end.
