The administration “has quietly doubled down on its decision to stop sending emergency food to millions of children who are starving in Bangladesh, Somalia, and other countries. Without urgent intervention, many of these children are likely to die…”

Ok folks, deep breaths.
There is very real reason to worry about the dynamic emerging between Washington and Moscow when it comes to Ukraine. But there is also very real reason to believe that Ukraine and Europe can create a better outcome.

If you ever find yourself wondering why more churches don't use their buildings for homeless services, this should be top of mind. It's not that different from the people jailed for feeding them The Wrong Way™️. www.deseret.com/faith/2025/0...
A pastor tried to house homeless people. He ended up in court — and was found guilty this week
For the past year, the Rev. Chris Avell and city officials have been battling over the pastor’s efforts to serve the homeless community.

2024 was the warmest year on record.
Here's a rather mind blowing stat though - Every single year for the past 10 years has been in the top 10 warmest years on record.
It's been a very warm decade globally.

there was a 1936 proposal to build a concrete ramp structure up to the midpoint of the eiffel tower so you could drive up it. and i, for one, think it’s a shame that there was never a trend of making world monuments more car-accessible.

I know it's what the Other Team are going to do and one of the Things That Makes Them Bad, but I think if Trump somehow manages to win in November, Harris supporters actually *shouldn't* accept it, because he has definitely cheated and he is a fascist who will literally put people in camps.
