America’s first satellite made it to space because a woman created the fuel powerful enough to get it there. Her name was Mary Sherman Morgan. She was the only woman and the only person without a college degree in her engineering department. #SheShed #VivaHerAlliance
Editorial graphic honoring Mary Sherman Morgan, featuring her black-and-white portrait beside a dramatic rocket launch against a starry background with scientific equations. Text reads: “Mary Sherman Morgan — She created the fuel that helped launch Explorer 1.”

What Hinkley did was an assassination attempt. Someone being stopped on another floor, multiple security checks away is the Secret Service doing its job. Stop using Trump framing.
Post from German was Jennifer Jacobs: the shooting happened on the level above the ballroom where the White House correspond to the association dinner was. 

I don’t think people hearing about 
this – – or even those of us in the room – – realize how far from the president, BP, and other gases incident was. It was on another floor, up some stairs, and several sets of security away.

because the Washington Hilton’s hotel and other public space were open for other functions, the entire building wasn’t secured by the Secret Service, just a specific areas of the White House

Let’s be clear about the context and how that informs what he’s saying. He bombed Iran. At least 1,500 are dead; 1,800 children are dead or injured. And he’s saying Iran is dead. And now Dems are the next worst enemy. Literally.
Image of a post from the demented piece of shit commonly referred to as the president of the United States. It reads “now with the death of Iran, the greatest enemy America has two has used the radical left, highly incompetent, Democrat party! Thank you for your attention to this matter president DJ T.”

If there's one empirical insight I'd want everyone to understand about American politics, it's this: America's problems are solved problems. Just not here. What would change if the US simply matched the average of 31 peer democracies? Not Denmark or Norway. Just the middle of the pack. 🧵
Screenshot of a data visualization titled “The Cost of American Exceptionalism,” subtitled “What would change if the U.S. matched the OECD average?” The page explains that each card shows how outcomes would change if the U.S. matched the average of 31 peer democracies. Below, a section labeled “Economy & Inequality” displays eight cards comparing U.S. figures to OECD averages. Highlights include: +$19K per household per year in redistributed income and +$96K in redistributed wealth if the top 1% matched OECD shares; a 71% lower CEO-to-worker pay ratio (from 354× to 101×); 50 million more workers with union coverage; 26 million more people with health insurance; $2.1 trillion saved annually in healthcare spending; $691 less per person per year in prescription drug costs; and intergenerational economic mobility being twice as high. Each card shows the U.S. value alongside the OECD average.

Sunday reading: I wrote about how the regime’s latest racist hate campaign is tied to the Right’s broader attempt to redefine citizenship and national identity in service of an exclusionary white nationalist vision. A deep dive into the Right’s visions of blood-and-soil nationalism:

Watch what they DO: Trump has ordered key federal health agencies to pause all external communications, which means these agencies may not provide the public with critical information on a variety of medical issues, including food recalls, infectious diseases and new drug approvals.

It is easy to be hyperbolic in all political commentary, but one should be clear that Trump's rhetoric meets all the conventional definitions of fascism. Many people seem afraid of saying this because it seems extreme or hysterical, but it is what it is.

I want to talk for a minute about the things Biden *did* talk about doing in the debate, because I find it fascinating that people are criticizing him for not talking about what he is planning to do, because...he did?

I’m convinced the only way to stop the media’s obsession with Biden’s age is to stop responding. No telling them to F-off, pointing out why they’re wrong, no raging. Treat it as engagement farming & ignore while they punch themselves out. Volunteer for a campaign; talk to voters instead.
