"When historians pick up their pens to write the story of the 21st century, let them say that it was your generation who laid down the heavy burdens of hate at last and that peace finally triumphed over violence, aggression and war." - John Lewis
In fairness to the Capitals, if the refs hadn't sent Tom Wilson away for the rest of the game, he would've ended up breaking his stick and shanking one of the Calgary Flames. He was already way too triggered. #NHL

FBI leadership coverup of Renee Good killing.
A supervisor in FBI’s Minneapolis field office resigned "after bureau leadership in Washington pressured her to discontinue a civil rights inquiry into" ICE agent Jonathan Ross. "Such inquiries are a common investigative step in similar shootings."

It was the dumbest of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of liars, it was the age of cruelty, it was the epoch of subservience, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of hatred, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hopelessness, it was the winter of despair.

The clumps within this supernova remnant, 1E 0102, seen by Hubble, are moving away from the explosion site at 2 million miles per hour (3 million kilometers per hour). At that velocity, one could travel to the Moon and back in 15 minutes: https://bit.ly/4iTwyJe

Trump on NATO: "I've always said, will they be there if we ever needed them? That's really the ultimate test. I'm not sure of that. We've never needed them. They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan and this or that. And they did. They stayed a little back, off the front lines."

Several times a week, I randomly wake up in the middle of the night and check the news on my phone, hoping one night will be THE NIGHT. I will then wake up the bf with the pop from the champagne bottle.
Let tonight be a lesson to all of us: Make sure you have established your own, and are aware of your loved ones', advance directives.
Do you want to be awakened from your slumber when It Happens? Or do you want to find out when you awake naturally and unlock your phone? Let your loved ones know.
