the crew cried as they became the furthest people from earth, they named the Integrity crater after one of the astronaut’s deceased wife. i love humanity, i love how we go to the moon and we name that bright spot after someone loved. we name that crater after the spaceship craft that carried them so far. something about us being so small, barely making a dent in the universe, but still going with love.

We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.

The top 1% in America now hoard $55.8 trillion — more than the G.D.P. of the United States and China combined.

Centuries of human culture, stolen & fed to a machine so it can regurgitate AI slop for tech companies to force-feed the masses in an attempt rot our brains enough that we can be controlled via a surveillance techno-capitalist state.

.@JamesTalarico: I don’t see politics as left versus right anymore. Billionaires are using their wealth to rig our political system. They own the media and they own politicians in both political parties. They’re using that wealth to divide us, and I think people are tired of being pitted against each other.

Sure is just some big coincidence that a lot of these companies had legal settlements with the government or are awaiting merger approval.

[Timothy Snyder @TimothyDSnyder]

Retired intelligence analysts confirm what the political scientists are telling us — and what the world outside is telling us — the goal of these people is the end of law, the end of democracy, and the end of a recognizable republic.

Debbie Brockman is a journalist for WGN, Chicago's most iconic television station.

Here she is being wrestled to the ground, handcuffed & detained by masked ICE agents in broad daylight

ICE rammed into her vehicle & dragged her out. Her whereabouts are unknown

This is fascism.

[Rick Steves @RickSteves]

Nearly ten percent of humanity (roughly 800 million people in 2025) struggles to live on less than $3 a day. It’s important for Americans to appreciate that reality — as well as the growing gap between the extremely poor and the extremely privileged — because, as illustrated by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID)’s track record in recent years, our nation has the power to change it.

If, like me, you are an American who embraces the universal moral tenet referred to by Christians as “love thy neighbor,” I hope that each time you vote, you remember that the outcome of an election can, especially for privileged Americans, have a far greater impact on those struggling with poverty both at home and south of the border than it will ever have on you.

This is the first entry of a 16-part series sharing what I learned about smart development aid while filming my 2020 public television special “Hunger & Hope: Lessons from Ethiopia and Guatemala,” which is streaming free and ad-free on the @PBS app and at https://t.co/SyqWEnDynF.

I’m sharing these posts in response to President Trump’s argument — which he has used to justify dismantling USAID — that leading the fight against extreme poverty on our planet doesn’t advance an “America First” agenda.

Earlier this year, the Trump State Department announced that nearly 5,800 USAID contracts worth $54 billion were being eliminated (representing a 92% reduction of what had already been awarded to the agency) because “they were not aligned with the administration's priorities.” The DOGE initiative then eliminated about $8 billion more in foreign aid, and now, the White House is fighting to withhold about $5 billion more in foreign aid funding — all in the name of making our country stronger and safer. However, after traveling to Ethiopia and Guatemala and hearing from many experts in the field, it’s clear to me that an extremely practical way to make our world a more stable and peaceful place is to invest in modern development aid, in concert with the family of nations.

Even if you don’t believe in the ethic of “love thy neighbor,” it’s important to remember that the core goal of USAID is to use soft power (foreign aid) to complement our nation’s hard power (the U.S. military) in a shared effort to make America safer.
