Just two days before launching an effort to slash red tape for commercial space transportation, President Trump last month purchased up to $5 million of bonds issued by SpaceX, a major federal contractor run by Elon Musk, according to ethics filings made public on Thursday. cnn.it/4rRrZU0

If you’re in the streets tonight remember to memorize or have a written phone number for someone NOT at the protest in case of arrest. NLG NYC is also a place to check in if arrested or if witnessing arrests (try and get name of person being arrested): 212-679-6018

A time-aged photo of a bowling team posing behind a display of bowling balls and pins. From left to right, we've got a long-haired white guy making a 'hell yeah!' face and probably hearing REO Speedwagon in his head. Then there's a pretty girl with straight long hair in a pink shirt very consciously doing a posing for a photo face. Then a black guy in a blue polo to prove everyone here is cool, next to the oldest dude on the team with longer hair and a 'stache in a peach-colored bowling shirt. Then a girl with a cute bob and sunglasses in a floral shirt, and finally there's Ed who there isn't a lot to say about. Below the ball display is a wooden sign with tracks for placing movable plastic letters. In the top left it reads 'REDONDO BCH.' and top right is '1975' and between those is the mysterious phrase 'MAYBE IT WILL HAPPEN TODAY'.

The CDC just re-opened a previously shelved study that would withhold the hepatitis B vaccine from children in Guinea-Bissau, despite decades of evidence showing it is safe and effective. This is a violation of human rights, using “science” to harm some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

A somewhat janky digital rendering of the 60s version of the USS Enterprise rendered in greenish grays with orange highlights on the front of the nacelles and the deflector dish. There is a burst of whooshing rays behind it but the background is the default natural paper color I’ve been using and not space black. Reddish-orange text around the ship set in a Star Trek TOS font reads ‘Maybe it will happen today’.

This money is absolutely meaningless to Elon Musk, but it has the potential to completely rewrite your future. He's spent over $36 million in about 4 weeks, and he's adding millions a day. All to corrupt our government to push his agenda. Let your friends know what's up.

Digital illustration done in a rough ink style and shades of red. It’s Tim Curry as the big devil man from Legend. He’s all red wearing raggy black garment that still shows off all of his chest. He has a pair of absolutely massive bull-like horns on his head which is thrown back laughing and fists on hips, simply delighted as he contemplates the red lettering next to him which reads ‘Maine it will happen today’.

A squirrel is standing inside and peeking over the top rim of a hollowed out pumpkin. The top of the pumpkin can be seen behind. The squirrel is wearing a slouchy black witch hat with orange stripes and holding a squirrel-sized chef knife. The knife is because the squirrel has carved the words ‘MAYBE IT WILL HAPPEN’ in the side of the pumpkin and in the ground in front the word ‘TODAY’ has been spelled with stringy orange pumpkin guts with seeds scattered all around.
