The US has suspended operations at their Kuwait embassy so American citizens there are on their own. Not that Donald Trump will care, alive or dead, Americans mean nothing to him unless he can profit from them.

I am not saying the Olympics get too much attention and praise. Understand that.

But I am definitely saying that the Paralympics don't get enough.

So proud of all the amazing #Paralympians!

Ceratiomyxa sphaerosperma from Mera, Pastaza, Ecuador. This tiny slime mold makes its spores on little stalks, giving it a distinctive appearance. My favorite feature of these are the glass-like stems.

A classic black-and-white photograph of Geraldyn “Jerrie” Cobb, pioneering American aviator and astronaut candidate, seated in the cockpit of a high-performance jet aircraft during the early 1960s. She wears a flight helmet with visor, oxygen mask connected to a hose, and flight suit with patches. Her expression is calm, focused, and determined as she looks upward slightly toward the sky, evoking her role as the first woman to pass the same astronaut screening tests as NASA's Mercury Seven men and her status as the top contender in the Mercury 13 program. The image captures her courage, skill, and groundbreaking ambition in an era when women were excluded from spaceflight due to gender bias.

Jerrie Cobb should have been the first woman in #space. 🚀

Due to gender bias, she wasn't.

Part of the Mercury 13 (women), she passed the same tests as the Mercury Seven astronauts (men), often ranking in the top 2% (including compared to the men). She was born #OTD in 1931.

The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship — The New Republic The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countries—including the United States.

What happened to ignoring illegal orders? The fucking ship was unarmed and returning from a joint exercise that we also participated in.

I'm not condoning Iran but this is outright murder. And, then, not picking up the survivors?

That's how the US entered WWI

We simply cannot allow these fucking morons to act like they're the ones who truly love this country. They don't take matters of life and deaths seriously. They aren't patriots--they're the most selfish people on the planet.

“Imminent.” You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
