'When authoritarians seize power, it is crucial to recognize courageous defenders of freedom who rise and resist,' the Norwegian Nobel Committee said as it announced Maria Corina Machado as the winner of the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

Americans like government. They just think they don't, because Reagan told them so.

Governor Whitmer was almost kidnapped by armed thugs. Governor Shapiro‘s house was set on fire. Nancy Pelosi‘s husband was violently attacked by someone looking for her. Melissa Hortman was assassinated in her home with her husband and dog…and now this. The left is the victim, not the perpetrator.

This owl, its habitat and the Ice Age Trail hiked to this spot are all available for us to enjoy thanks to Wisconsin’s Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program. #KnowlesNelson

People of Illinois, we need your help.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.

We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

The NFL says “Football is America.”For many in Ireland today, that’s not a selling point. Here’s a photo of the scene outside Croke Park where the Steelers & Vikings (owned by Jewish Agency for Israel chairman & anti-Palestinian zealot Mark Wilf, hence the flags) are playing.

In 2024, 7,100 pedestrians were killed on the road, and in recent years, more than 1,000 cyclists have been hit and killed annually. Safety experts explain how bikers and walkers can stay safe.

For their first project, my Kids and Society students have to create an infographic clarifying a common misconception about "kids these days." I'd prefer that they not use AI to create their projects, so I made my own infographic explaining why : )

We don't actually need any of these products

A4) A sneak peek to Q12, but, the Ice Age Trail! We had so much fun hiking all 1151.4 miles of the Ice Age Trail together- we went from dating to (tomorrow) celebrating four years of marriage! Highly recommend the trail! #ParkChat

This was great!

Very cool to see Holy Wisdom Monastery featured for their prairie restoration work. It’s a beautiful peaceful place for all. And has a labyrinth too! #madisonWI www.nytimes.com/2025/09/22/c...

Parachutes have some adverse events. Sometimes, they fail to deploy.

The harness can cause localized swelling, redness and pain.

If it were up to RFK Jr.’s ACIP, parachutes would be banned.

These data centers are coming to the Great Lakes basin because of our water. Humans should be concerned about the impact on the Great Lakes and explain the huge difference between gallons/day used and gallons/day discharged back into the lake. How will this affect me? 🌊🌊

Chevy Bolt EV is great. Will GM bring it back?
