The first Black woman in space carried more than experiments aboard the shuttle.

Mae Jemison’s journey from Chicago science museums to Space Shuttle Endeavour showed generations of girls what was possible.

History remembers the woman who reached for the stars.

The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countriesβ€”including the United States.

Knowingly bombing an unarmed ship.

"The exercise in question required ships not to carry any ammunition. Normally, the Dena carries various missiles and guns, including anti-ship missiles. Because the U.S. also took part, it would have been aware that the Dena was unarmed."

⚑ April 7th. SRP Board election. Most people sleep on this one β€” don't. Water and power in AZ are serious business. Democrats running for SRP actually care about keeping costs fair and water clean. Vote April 7. πŸ’§Check out the clean energy team: srpcleanenergy.org/candidates/

Trump/GOP’s economy is historically BAD based on facts & feelings! Trump’s slump extends to most job sectors other than big tech AI propping up the economy for billionaires! The American affordability crisis is due to Trump/GOP’s forever war(s) & tariffs jacking up everything from gas to groceries!

National Insecurity

Trump just motivated Iran to retaliate in the biggest way possible. I don't even want to think about what that means.

Kash Patel fired our CI-12 FBI Iran Counterintelligence team. Days before bombing Iran.

Failed to notify Kuwait, lost 3 jets.

I’m with Rep Maggie Goodlander (D-NH) we need answers and we need answers now. Trump and the Pentagon are reportedly planning on sending 23,000 troops to all 50 states. Elbridge Colby won’t answer basic questions about this plan. Unacceptable, we need to stay on this story.πŸ‘€

The US lost 92,000 jobs in February, per the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Trump did that.

Kristi Noem Is Out. Take The Win. No, the guy replacing her is not better.

Kristi Noem is out as DHS Secretary. So who's up to replace her? Senator Markwayne Mullin, a former MMA Fighter that's threatened to beat up people during Senate hearings.

Another terrible monthly jobs report for the Trump Administration and they don’t have a pandemic to blame it on.

92,000 jobs lost in February. One has to wonder how much worse it really is?

Powerful message from @booker4ky.bsky.social! As a diabetic, he has had to ration his insulin to put food on the table. Americans are going thru this too bc billionaires & corrupt politicians care more about profits than you. Let’s vote this man into office bc KY deserves someone to fight for you.

Graph by BLS in the NYT showing job losses

Graph by BLS in the NYT showing job losses

According to The Bureau of Labor Statistics, the US economy lost 92,000 jobs.

So, war in Middle East, the Epstein files, building an overpriced & unnecessary ballroom, and more more indicate a falling economy.

What took them so long to realize what we are all feeling?

Trump and GOP cowards are destroying our countryβ€”our economy, our health, our alliances, our future, our sanity.

The U.S. labor market lost 92,000 jobs in February

The unemployment rate ticked up to 4.4% says new data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Stop them.
November is our chance.

So we just deny people medical care and make them suffer horrendously?

Or wander sightless in freezing temperatures?

Until they die?

Because they are brown?

Florida legislators advance a bill authorizing government surveillance based on 'views' or 'opinions' Civil liberties advocates warn a proposed Florida law could allow investigations based on speech deemed a threat to state interests.

Heads up FL! A state bill would empower Statewide Counterintelligence to investigate organizations and individuals based on the "opinions" they express. So far, this bill looks like it will fail but it bears watching as it has obvious First Amendment implications.

When we stop seeing our neighbors as precious, it becomes a lot easier to explain away their oppression. Our protest is an expression of neighborly love. When we see each other, show up for each other, protect each other… we resist.
