The first photos are coming in from Artemis II, and they are stunning. Photos of our home planet from humans we are sending further than anyone has gone before.

And now two more. The first of which being taken by Commander Reid Wiseman just minutes from the other Blue Marble picture seen above, showcasing the effect of different camera setting on space photography. Pictures of our home, where all but four of us are looking up from.

not to be captain obvious here but they literally just knowingly lied about this for a decade & ruined our lives. there was never any evidence to support trans women having an advantage over cis women it was always just made up to further transmisogyny & sexism.

also notice how the telegraph is really trying to avoid using the word trans women, even referring to a trans women as a women is a crime in the uk.

[folly-of-alexandria]

The thing is this isn't the first study to confirm this. We've had multiple studies that have said this for over a decade.

But they have been ignored by the media and governments because the goal has never been fairness, but rather the isolation and othering of trans women and girls from their peers.

So I fully expect this study to get ignored by the media and governments same as the others before it.

Ok the US Attorney General says that she will remove ICE if MN drops all our sanctuary laws, complies with ICE, hands over all our SNAP, Medicaid and voter rolls. They demand control over our voter registration so they can "ensure free and fair elections".

They want to control our elections.

I am dead serious people call your representatives. Get volunteering. Get protesting. Get LOUD.

They released a letter full of straight up lies. Spread the truth. MAKE NOISE.

First source was behind a paywall, so here’s one that goes into some of the issues with DOJ’s demands.

Bondi’s injection of voter roll demands into Minneapolis ICE tensions draws claims of ‘ransom’ | CNN Politics

Attorney General Pam Bondi’s demand that Minnesota hand over sensitive voter registration records to the federal government amid tensions ov

To sum up: DOJ is requesting info that is protected by privacy laws. They want to “help” states “clean up” (I.e., remove voters) the voter rolls. Their proposed time line for this clean up may violate an existing law. There are also doubts about the accuracy of the database DOJ uses to check voter eligibility. Courts have already ruled against the DOJ’s claim they have a legal right to this info and there’s at least one lawsuit to prevent a state from handing over the info.

Not mentioned in the article: Bondi isn’t in charge of ICE. She hasn’t actually made any promises to rein in ICE. The letter is a list of demands and nothing offered in return except that things will be better once everyone quietly obeys.

Remember Keith Porter, who was shot and killed by an off-duty ICE agent on New Year’s Eve (December 31st, 2025).

Remember Geraldo Lunas Campos, a 55-year-old man from Cuba, who died in ICE custody on January 3rd, 2026. His cause of death was reported by ICE as “medical distress and under investigation”. Witnesses saw guards hold down and strangle Geraldo. The county medical examiner determined cause of death to be “asphyxia due to neck and torso compression”, and ruled his death as a homicide.

Remember Luis Gustavo Nunez Caceres, a 42-year-old man from Honduras, who died in ICE custody on January 5th, 2026. His cause of death was reported by ICE as “complications related to congenital heart failure”.

Remember Luis Beltran Yanez–Cruz, a 68-year-old man from Honduras, who died in ICE custody on January 6th, 2026. His cause of death was reported by ICE as “heart-related health issues.”

Remember Renee Nicole Good, who was shot and killed by ICE on January 7th, 2026.

Remember Parady La, a 46-year-old man from Cambodia, who died in ICE custody on January 9th, 2026. His cause of death was reported by ICE as “anoxic brain injury, post cardiac arrest, shock and multiple organ failures following severe drug withdrawal”.

Remember Victor Manuel Diaz, a 36-year-old man from Nicaragua, who died in ICE custody on January 14th, 2026. His cause of death was reported by ICE as “a presumed suicide; however, the official cause of his death remains under investigation.”

Remember Heber Sanchaz Domínguez, a 34-year-old man from Mexico, who died in ICE custody on January 14th, 2026. His cause of death is “currently under investigation” according to ICE.

Remember Wael Tarabishi, whose health declined and ultimately led to his death on January 23rd, 2026 after his father and primary caregiver, Maher Tarabishi, was taken by ICE. The Tarabishi family are once again asking for Maher’s release, this time so he can attend his son’s funeral.

Remember Alex Pretti, who was shot and killed by Border Patrol on January 24th.

Alex was recording, which was well within his right, and was shielding other people from pepper spray. He was trying to help. You'll hear people blame him for having a gun, which he had a permit to carry and the only time it was out of the holster was when ICE took it before shooting him. You'll see people claim he shot at officers, but that is a blatant lie.

hi guys i know im like so minuscule on this website and you don’t even have to agree with me about politics but pls acknowledge that a public execution of an innocent man and unjustified murder is NOT okay. alex pretti was a 37 year old ICU nurse at the minneapolis VA hospital, his parents described him as a kind soul who cared for his family and the veterans he took care of; they said he wanted to make a difference in the world. one of his alleged coworkers online stated that he used to bring them coffees and would tell people off when they made sexist or inappropriate remarks towards female physicians.

yesterday, he was shot numerous times and eventually killed in the street in broad daylight by ice agents.

in all the angles of the footage we’ve seen, we see that he was protesting but he literally wasn’t harming anyone. minnesota is an open carry state — stating that you are allowed to carry a firearm on you or in your vehicle per your second amendment right as long as you have a license. i’ve seen comments saying he confronted law enforcement with a weapon .. this is not true. we can see in the videos that he’s carrying a camera / his phone in his hand even while he is pepper sprayed and tackled to the ground for trying to get protestors out the way of being hurt.

he was shot in the back first after ice agents removed his gun from his holster and ran off with it (he did not have this gun revealed or in his hand during this encounter! it was legal to have it on his person, he didn’t threaten anyone not once with it). he was rendered immobilized before he was shot several times after, killing him.

at least acknowledge alex pretti and remind yourself that killing a man in broad daylight for protesting, practically pistol whipping his face and head when you’ve already got 7 guys on top of him restraining and beating him, is inhumane and unjustifiable. whether you disagree with trump or not or you’re a republican or democrat or whatever else, please acknowledge that alex pretti was murdered in minneapolis at 9:34am on saturday.
