Damn... This was really brave and perfectly executed. The way you guys planted multiple people all around the room and spoke up one at a time overwhelmed their security. This was brilliant. I respect it.💙👏😎

The judge blocked deployment? Must be a really big judge.😎

Joking aside, I worry it's only a matter of time before Stephen Miller says "screw it, let's burn it all to the ground". 🤬

That’s most likely why Israel has yet to release the Spanish participants from the Sumud peace
flotilla the IDF illegally intercepted in international waters, while the
Spanish volunteers were attempting to bring baby formula and medicine to starving babies in Gaza

New evidence presented at the UN confirms Palestinian women are being gang-raped by Israelis who videotape it as they do it.

Israel is a deeply depraved Estate.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview in March 2025 with the understanding it would only be released after her death. This is her final message from it.⚜️💙⚜️

The “most moral army in the world”?!

The genocide continues.

Israel is a terrorist nation.

Virginia resident calls out Speaker Johnson on air:

As a Republican, I'm very disappointed in my party, and I'm very disappointed in you. You do have the power to call the House back. You refused to do that just for a show. I am begging you to pass this legislation. My kids could die.

The homeowner saw on the security camera that a bear was playing on the outdoor swing every day, but couldn't get on.
So he had a bigger swing built, and this was the result.😎🤣💙☺️

We don't have the credit because of the medical bills that I have to pay regularly.

I think that it is awful and the audacity of someone who makes 6 figures a year to do this to military families is insane.

Nature's Wisdom

I contemplated the intricate
workings of a flower
and saw you, me
complex, unique
interconnected
All at once going this
direction and that,
but always staying
secured to the source
Diverse, yet maintaining
unity, harmony
Together bringing beauty
to the world
This is our purpose

Three flowering 'Moonlight Grevilllea' heads. The flowers are a creamy-white to pale-yellow colour, almost toothbrush-shaped. They have fern-like foliage. The flowers are attached to a long, slender branch. The background shows a wooden fence, and at the top a blue sky with white clouds are showing through.

"No Christian can regard the poor simply as a societal problem," wrote Leo, adding that they are “part of our ‘family’" and they are "one of us." At a time when conservatives are gutting social programs and slashing Medicaid funding, this message is particularly potent.

The historic document entitled “I Have Loved You” states that caring for the poor also means "fighting against the structural causes of poverty," an unthinkable idea to American Evangelicals who fetishize wealth and billionaire tax cuts.

Pope Leo XIV enrages MAGA world by releasing his first major document urging every Catholic in the world to help migrants who all have "Christ himself" inside them — a powerful rebuke of Donald Trump's hateful policies.

This just went off like a bombshell for 1.4 billion Catholics

The “Portland chaos” myth isn’t news—it’s groundwork. Inflate unrest, invent danger, then pose as the savior who must “restore order.” It’s not about law and order; it’s about softening the ground for martial law dressed up as patriotism.
