Fuck Vance. Everyone who voted to supported Hegseth or voted to confirm him should *have* to watch the execution. You can't enable this violence and get to claim delicate sensibilities. If it feels wrong to watch, it's probably wrong to do and you should do you best to keep it off the air.

When she was running for governor 32 years ago she couldn’t afford health care, so she can relate to what Mainers are going through under the regime she supports and votes with 96% of the time. 🙄

A formal portrait of Dr. Roberta Lynn Bondar from her 1992 NASA Space Shuttle Discovery mission (STS-42). Dr. Bondar, a board-certified neurologist and payload specialist, is centered in the frame from the waist up, smiling warmly with an approachable, confident expression. Her short, dark brown hair is styled in a soft crop. She wears a vibrant orange NASA Launch and Entry spacesuit featuring a black neck ring, a prominent circular mission patch on her right chest, and a rectangular name tag with a gold astronaut symbol on her left chest. Her hands rest gently on a dark surface in the foreground next to her matching white flight helmet, which features a large, glossy black visor. Framed closely behind her are two flags: the American Stars and Stripes on the left and the Canadian Maple Leaf on the right, symbolizing the international scientific partnership. The composition is balanced and official, radiating a proud, triumphant, and historic mood that commemorates breaking barriers for women in STEM.A candid shot of Dr. Roberta Bondar in her post-spaceflight career as an accomplished fine-art nature photographer and global environmental researcher. Viewed in profile from the waist up, Dr. Bondar is positioned on the right side of the frame inside the covered canopy of an outdoor field vehicle. She looks intently through the viewfinder of a high-end, professional Hasselblad medium-format camera mounted to a sturdy, articulated tripod arm. She wears a comfortable, light gray hooded zip-up sweatshirt with a dark patterned scarf around her neck and reading glasses hanging loosely over her chest. Her expression is focused, thoughtful, and serene. The background opens to a vast, flat shoreline and a calm body of water under a pale blue sky, showcasing the remote natural environments she documents. The natural, soft daytime lighting emphasizes an analytical yet deeply passionate mood, visually connecting her scientific background in observation to her enduring artistic dedication to Earth's ecosystems.

We are aware of multiple stops conducted today by federal agents in the Madera and Fresno areas. We remind the public to stay calm, to verify information, and to exercise one’s rights, including the right to not answer questions. If detained, do not sign anything without speaking to a lawyer. All encounters with federal agents should be recorded and documented if it is safe to do so. Witnesses can reach out to us to share what they see or to seek help.

Chaotic, warrantless immigration raids and roving patrols spread fear and disrupt lives and livelihoods. They do not belong here; hard working immigrants do.

The agreement between Amazon and the City of Ridgeland is a rare behind-the-scenes look at a deal struck between a data center operator and local utility provider. Such agreements have usually been shielded behind non-disclosure agreements and public records exemptions.

You know who was at 9/11? Within an hour of the tower strike, Canadian firefighters were loading up gear to get to New York to help. In this photo: Ottawa crew - Brian Foley, Steve Carmichael, Gordie Thorpe and John Hamilton. You know who didn't show up? Donald Trump.

Those incarcerated men should be praised for what they're doing, but shame on Kansas for not taking better care of their children. Here in Maine, we fund breakfast & lunch for all school children. All states should do so. Children are better learners when they're not hungry.
