From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

The president announces an arbitrary price hike on Americans because his feelings are hurt by an ad accurately quoting Ronald Reagan’s criticism of tariffs
Canada was caught, red handed, putting up a fraudulent advertisement on Ronald Reagan’s Speech on Tariffs. The Reagan Foundation said that they, “created an ad campaign using selective audio and video of President Ronald Reagan. The ad misrepresents the Presidential Radio Address,” and “did not seek nor receive permission to use and edit the remarks. The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute is reviewing its legal options in this matter.” The sole purpose of this FRAUD was Canada’s hope that the United States Supreme Court will come to their “rescue” on Tariffs that they have used for years to hurt the United States. Now the United States is able to defend itself against high and overbearing Canadian Tariffs (and those from the rest of the World as well!). Ronald Reagan LOVED Tariffs for purposes of National Security and the Economy, but Canada said he didn’t! Their Advertisement was to be taken down, IMMEDIATELY, but they let it run last night during the World Series, knowing that it was a FRAUD. Because of their serious misrepresentation of the facts, and hostile act, I am increasing the Tariff on Canada by 10% over and above what they are paying now. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Good options:

*Deutsche Welle (DW News)
*France 24
*Al Jazeera
*The Associated Press (although U.S.-based...it operates globally and is widely regarded as a fact/reporting wire service more than opinion.)
*Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty

🧵After the Nazis came to power in 1933, they implemented policies to align cultural institutions, including museums, with their ideology.

Back then it was known as *Gleichschaltung*, involved purging museums of art & artifacts deemed "degenerate" while promoting works aligned with Nazi ideals.

You can rationalize it however you want but staying on twitter is a terrible choice. It is not the “town square.” It is the world’s disease-ridden dump. You don’t need to be there to think critically or write relevantly or stay abreast of current events.

Painful real lovely piece

“Disillusionment with our strongest ally, the US, seems to fill all conversations. We still appeal for help, but it is like screaming into the void. Our routine is laced w death, but for many that used to support us, our suffering has turned into somebody else’s problem”
Despite that, I used to feel safe in Kyiv, which was strongly protected by the best Western air defenses. Many people from other, less well-defended regions came to the capital to shelter under our Patriot systems. That's not the case since Donald Trump returned to the White House earlier this year and changed U.S. policy toward Ukraine. He first cut military assistance in March to force Kyiv into peace negotiations with Russia. Now he's done it again while the U.S. reviews its ammunition stocks and the White House proclaims the decision was taken "to put America's interests first." As the Russians started bombing us on Thursday evening, I checked my water bottle, my phone and documents and my first aid kit to see if they were near me. I was in my new pajamas: I would finally look decent if rescuers had to search for me under the rubble. Then I slapped my head...I forgot to buy a whistle again. Only recently did I find out you shouldn't scream while waiting for rescue as you waste your air and die before they find you. In the morning, we still have to wake up and go to work, as life and resilience must continue. Especially now, when we feel our once-strongest ally is abandoning us and even helping Russia reach its long-term goal of wearing out the West and destroying us. On Friday, U.S. Independence Day, Russia attacked with 550 drones and missiles, a new record. After the attack, we Ukrainians got up and went on with our daily routines. Businesses opened despite broken windows, and hospitals treated the wounded, but life went on until the next night. "It's interesting that during the day, no one asks how the night was, because everyone is in the same boat. And if you are still there by lunchtime, then you are fine," said Vladyslav Faraponov, 27, the head of the Institute of American Studies, who lives in the center of the capital.
