Earlier today, the discarded upper stage of a Falcon 9 rocket impacted on the Moon. As part of a coordinated observing campaign, our Very Large Telescope detected spectral lines of sodium and lithium gas in the impact plume lasting for 5-10 minutes after impact. 🔭 🧪 📷 ESO/C. Schmidt et al. 1/4

Over eight million Americans took to the streets today, which makes No Kings 3 the biggest single day of protest in the history of our country. #NoKings

Blow the Whistle on ICE

A whistle alerts neighbors to ICE's presence

Wear a whistle and use these codes to help keep your community safe!

3 SHORT BLASTS: ICE is nearby
1 LONG BLAST: ICE is detaining someone

Form a crowd and STAY LOUD!
Stay non-violent but DON'T STAY SILENT!

Congress can freeze out funding for ICE in 2 weeks — but only if Democrats are a unified opposition. To make that happen, we must flood their offices with calls to demand ICE Out For Good. Call your senators: indivisible.org/ice-out-sena... Call your representative: indivisible.org/ice-out-hous...

What is the goal of the walkout? The walkout is a collective escalation—and a test. Walking out lets us stress-test our readiness for collective action—not just symbolic protest. It tests whether we can build the muscle for non-compliance and resistance. freeameri.ca

After advancing their Medicaid-slashing, billionaire-enriching megabill late last night, Senate Republicans are aiming for a final vote within the next 24 hours. Tell your GOP senator to vote NO on Trump’s Tax Scam: indivisible.org/resource/cal... Or email: act.indivisible.org/sign/no-cutt...
Jon Favreau on Twitter: “Shocking how bad this bill is:
- 17 million would lose health care
- 30% higher electricity costs
- Millions of manufacturing and construction jobs destroyed
- Biggest ever cut in food assistance for families, kids, veterans
- $4 trillion in deficits
- $1 trillion in tax cuts for millionaires & billionaires
People should be on the phones, in the streets, and telling everyone who'll listen”

Every political reporter in the country understood that if Republicans won a trifecta, the upshot would be what happened today: huge cuts to healthcare to pay for tax cuts for the rich. Yet they consistently reported the biggest issue at play in the election as "high prices." Why?

It is frightening that the defense of basic rights and democratic self-government against the authoritarian onslaught depends so much on people who are evidently unable and/or unwilling to grasp who and what we are facing and instead just cling to signaling “bipartisanship” and upholding “unity.”
