Not believing in science really comes back to bite you, doesn’t it?

Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in every way. The Lord be with you all. -2 Thessalonians 3:16 #HappyEaster 🙏

FROST: We asked Pam Bondi multiple times, are you going to come and speak with us under oath? She would not say yes. We want her under oath because we do not trust her. Why don't we trust her? Because she's a liar.

The President of the United States said I insulted Jesus. You want to know what insults Jesus? Kicking the sick off their healthcare. Bombing schoolchildren in Iran. Deporting moms and babies. Covering up the Epstein files.

Despite attempts by Trump to claim otherwise, the U.S. military was responsible for killing at least 175 in a strike on a school in Iran. theintercept.com/2026/03/11/i...

Cows experience joy, loneliness, frustration, fear, and pain just like the dogs and cats who share our homes. Despite this, the meat industry subjects them to unspeakable cruelty, abuse, neglect, and violent deaths.

Austin Farm Sanctuary carried out a heart-touching rescue when they found a sick and starving goat, later named Meadow, who had been abandoned and left to perish. ❤️🐐 #goat #texas #austin #animals  

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

In a posthumous memoir, Virginia Roberts Giuffre writes that she was forced to have sex with Prince Andrew three times, beginning when she was 17, and was beaten and raped by a “well-known prime minister."

In a speech before the United Nations General Assembly today, President Trump said climate change is a “con job” and climate scientists are “stupid people” — and he called green energy and immigration a “double-tailed monster” that is destroying Europe. 🧵 1/5

Happy National Dog Day from Ricky, Charlie, and little Quigley! 🐾😻🐾

Isaiah has been dragged to the ground and arrested inside of the Texas State Capitol for speaking out against Greg Abbott and Donald Trump’s illegal gerrymandering. We are waiting for more information as it develops.

To the Republicans that tried to silence me: You failed miserably Now we get to watch you squirm as THE PEOPLE rise up against you!

"Today, a voracious hoard of selfish corporate and political interests gorges itself at the trough of power at the public's expense. The common and long-term well-being of the American people is an afterthought, at best" -James Madison #HappyIndependenceDay 🇺🇲

BREAKING: Supreme Court, 6-3, limits nationwide injunctions in cases challenging Trump's executive order to end birthright citizenship, staying injunctions where "broader than necessary to provide complete relief" to those challenging the orders. Lower courts are to decide how that is done.

"It is impossible to act as if immigrants have no rights without, eventually, infringing on citizens’ rights to stand up for them." I am just saying. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/16/o...

Their morals and values mean nothing without the courage to act on them.

The Senate is pushing for the largest privatization of public lands in U.S. history. They're coming for your favorite campsite, your summer swimming hole, your most cherished sunset vista--all to fund more billionaire tax breaks. 82% of Americans OPPOSE this plan (even a majority of republicans)

Thank you #ViolaDavis #NoKings #Freedom ✊️☮️🗽

Hi everyone I was denied entry, detained, and deported from the USA over the last 48 hours because of my reporting on the Columbia student protests I arrived back in Melbourne hours ago and had my phone handed back to me upon landing

Public sentiment is everything. Nonviolent protests are twice as likely to succeed as armed conflicts – and those engaging a threshold of 3.5% of the population have never failed to bring about change. #NoKings #PeacefulProtest ☮️

Some thoughts about the military parade in my hometown of Washington DC today -- specifically, the route. Military parades in DC are quite rare. But when they happen, they have always begun, symbolically and geographically, at the Capitol and moved outward. 1/

Pray for Peace.🕊️☮️ Perfect Love casts out fear. 💙

“What makes #America great is its ability to wrestle with its darkest demons and come out stronger and better for it.” Thank you #PeteButtigieg #FlagDay 🇺🇲

Despite warnings from the law enforcement not to attend today’s No Kings rally after this mornings shooting of Minnesota lawmakers with the killer on the lose, the No Kings Rally is happening at the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul.

NEW: Democracy is alive in Philly! Amazing scenes in Philadelphia as thousands hit the streets for the anti-Trump protest. #NoKings #50501Movement

If a US Senator is not safe from being handcuffed and detained for free speech, none of us are safe.

California Sen. Alex Padilla was just forcibly removed from a DHS press conference and handcuffed. "I am Senator Alex Padilla. I have questions for the secretary." Video from @Elex_Michaelson on X via Padilla's staff.

A musical genius, #BrianWilson is considered one of the most innovative songwriters of the 20th century, known for his unique harmonies, complex arrangements, and innovative recording techniques. RIP 💔 #BeachBoys 🎵

It’s looking like Saturday’s No Kings mobilizations are going to be even bigger than Hands Off! We need to show up by the millions to demonstrate that Trump’s tyrannic crackdown is only deepening our resolve. Find a peaceful protest near you for No Kings Day: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

81 years ago, America's bravest generation stormed the beaches of Normandy in hopes of freeing Europe from the clutches of a brutal authoritarian. Today, we face authoritarianism on our shores. We owe it to ourselves, our country, and that great generation to fight for freedom here at home.

"In 2010, Israeli forces attacked a Gaza aid flotilla, killing 10 people. In the aftermath, the Obama admin blocked UN efforts for an investigation, Biden defended the attack, and Chuck Schumer condemned the UN and defended Israel" zeteo.com/p/gaza-aid-s...

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

All gave some. Some gave all. 🙏 #MemorialDay 🇺🇲

Sharks keep the ocean healthy, but only 2% of Marine Protected Areas include shark-specific protections. That’s not good enough. We need to do better. For 30x30. For sharks. For the ocean 🌊🌍🦈 📸: Anita Kainrath
