@rgulick The choice is clear. Democrats put the money in. Republicans take the money out. The last four Democratic Presidents have created 65 million jobs combined since 1977. Donald Trump lost 3 million jobs. Democrats believe in civil rights. Republicans want to go back to Jim Crow. Democrats believe in protecting allies like #Ukraine. Republicans oppose. Democrats believe in science. Republicans don't.

So you think that your #morsecode isn't up to much and are worried you'll make a hash of it on air? CW operators WANT you on air, so just jump on in, please. Øystein LB8IJ sets a great example here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZw_gvOUi5s

Found a picture which appears to show the damage done to the ship Genco Picardy by a Houthis attack. It is consistent with reporting that stated the gangway of the ship was damaged.

Interesting to see the extent of the damage that these attacks can cause.

You can also make out that the railings have been wrapped in razor wire to try to hamper boarding efforts.

The Houthis have successfully boarded at least one large ship this fall and taken it to a port under their control.

"Trump is telling Americans very clearly that he will be jailing and killing Americans. Anyone who votes for him is complicit with these future crimes because of this transparency & these threats. Americans cannot say they did not know ahead of time."

TIL: Witold Pilecki, a Polish WWII hero, volunteered to be imprisoned in Auschwitz to gather intelligence. He organized a resistance inside, informed the Allies of the Holocaust, and escaped to continue fighting. His bravery and reports were pivotal in revealing Nazi atrocities.

Republican Betrayel!

GOP Heirarchy:
1. Putin
2. Trump
3. Johnson

Republicans want to block ALL US aid to Ukraine

To do that, they lie and throw out self-made roadblocks.

If not the border issue, they'll find other excuses to block aid.

MAGA Republican House Leader Mike Johnson is THE person who decides which funding bill comes up for a vote.

Ukraine could have $61 bn in aid tomorrow if it weren't for MAGA Mike Johnson!

😭 FOLKS, WE DID IT 😭

All 15 senators we contacted have told us they'll be attending the #LongCovid hearing Today, Jan 18, 2024 at 10:00 AM Eastern.

Thank you to everyone who called, shared, and rallied around this effort. We couldn't have accomplished this without our incredible community. ❤️

Ouch. A large OpenStreetMap group has been using a proprietary chat platform as a community space for ~10 yrs. Now they gotta pay a $80k/yr (or $10k??) for usage. 🤯😱😢

Slack (now Salesforce) now wants to charge @OpenStreetMapUS for all ~6k users on their server. 😢😢 Ouch.

This sort of bait & switch is why open, community owned platforms (like this!) are vital!

"Iran did not supply Russia with drones and missiles for use in Ukraine," — Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian.

"Ukraine has not provided Iran with any evidence that Russia is using Iranian weapons during the special operation," he added.

@DemocracyMattersALot

When do lawyers plan to stand up for the profession they have chosen?

The law profession is an absolute disgrace!!!

Cannon should be disbarred
SCOTUS Thomas should be disbarred, & arrested and charged with accepting bribes.
Gorsuch, Kavanaugh & Coney Barrett need to all be disbarred for the perjury they committed when they lied to the senate under OATH about Roe.

Remember this?

"Roe v Wade is settled law".

Perjury, plain & simple!!!

"Thousands of people across Germany have taken to the streets for a fourth consecutive day to voice their opposition to the far-right populist AfD party after politicians from the party met neo-Nazis to discuss a “master plan” for the mass deportation of asylum seekers and German citizens of foreign origin." #Germany #fascism #racism #rightWingExtremism

I wrote an article in IEEE Spectrum about the history of the magnetic amplifier. Magnetic amplifiers were popular in the 1950s, even used as logic elements in computers, but became mostly obsolete as transistors improved.
