Never forget this: Working people outnumber the billionaires and CEOs by a huge margin.

If workers stand together, they will win.

Solidarity.

What the F is this kind of headline from CNN. "Democrats gather to enshrine their audacious power play". Is AI writing this already?

I'm not sure what happened exactly in the other place but I've noticed an influx of new people on here and bluesky. I know my following is pretty modest, but if you're new here and an astronomer/artist/person I know from elsewhere online feel free to respond to this introducing yourself and I'll re-share it!

I've been trying to catch some of you/share your posts but I'm trying to reduce my social media usage, so I'm missing a lot!

Page 150 of Project 2025 calls for local police to become deputized agents of Trump's agenda.

Image if your local cops were taking their orders directly from Donald Trump. Would you feel safe?

Awesome to be mentioned in @geerlingguy's Pico2 video:

"I've seen it used to (...) emulate a full classic Macintosh(picomac) and almost everyone with one of these old Macs has a BlueSCSI v2 to emulate hard drives and cd-roms"

And yes we ordered some Pico2's - hopefully a drop in replacement to the existing hardware - stay tuned!

Russ Vought will likely be appointed to a high-ranking post if Trump wins a second term. He's reportedly drafting a “180-Day Transition Playbook” to help the administration.

Guess what else he helped write?

Project 2025.

The document embodies what the MAGA movement stands for.
