Astrophotographer Adam (AJ) Smadi caught this image a few hours ago from Washington state. A thin crescent Moon, sunlight illuminating the rugged lunar surface. And 2,400 times farther away—and on the other side of the Sun—mighty Jupiter, and its moons Io (left) and Ganymede (right).

The Democratic Party has let a consulting industry exploit elderly donors in its name, wreck its reputation and finances in the process, and walk away rich whether the party wins or loses. When a mirror is held up, the instinct is to break the glass rather than look. On why the press looks away:

The Arlington National Cemetery Memorial apparently has deleted references and information on everyone interred there who wasn’t a white straight man from their database - attempting to sweep their existence under the rug. My thoughts on this obscenity cannot legally be shared on this platform.

Trump is literally out here saying random words and calling it a commencement address. Get a load of this gibberish.

Interesting how fascist republicans falsely claimed all Jan 6 terrorists were paid actors, undercover FBI agents and Antifa to pretend it wasn’t MAGA voters but now they’re okay with paying them nearly $2B in stolen taxpayer dollars. Funny how that works.

The Washington Post is beyond repair. We need to build independent pro-democracy media that doesn't equate Donald Trump's pathological lies with Joe Biden. You can start with subscribing to Democracy Docket. I built it to have only one side -- the truth. bit.ly/4qmEiFz
