Feels like a good time to remind everyone that SpaceX has received nearly $5 Billion in federal grants, tax breaks, and subsidies.
Imagine what that money could've achieved if we put it toward affordable childcare, or housing, or healthcare instead.

Good morning y’all.
Ralph Yarl. A 16 year old Black baby boy was shot because he went to the wrong door (as he attempted to pick up his siblings). He was shot in the head and again as he bled out on the ground.
