Zelenskyy calls Russia’s claim of a strike on one of Putin’s residences a “complete fabrication,” a lie designed to sabotage diplomacy, justify more attacks on Kyiv, and excuse Moscow’s refusal to end the war. He warns the world must not stay silent as Russia tries to derail peace.

This Needs To Stop!🛑

Peeps, you DO realize that our non-white friends and neighbors...are now carrying their birth certificates and passports so they can PROVE they are US citizens "just in case"?

There is NO version of America where this is OK. Defund ICE. Restore due process and rule of law.

The solution is right above us. Solar panels on existing buildings, car parks, and along highways generate clean power without sacrificing farmland or wild spaces. Let's use our built world first. #Renewables #Innovation

Just want to share with my American friends how the Australians respond to a shooting tragedy. Action, rather than thoughts and prayers.

I was giving presentations at a school once and ended up at a middle school on the lockdown drill day. They had me leave before the drill, but in every class the teacher told the students about how to barricade the door, where to hide, and how the teacher would position themselves as the target.
"Every lockdown drill is a confession of failure. Every barricaded classroom is an indictment. Every child taught to hide is proof that the adults in charge have surrendered."
What Are We Doing to Our Children?
We taught kids to read, write, and dream; then trained them to hide, barricade, and bleed quietly while adults chose guns, cowardice, and silence over their future.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

The second amendment is the golden calf that the Republican Party has chosen to worship. Their idol means more to them than human lives.
Zoe Weissman survived the Parkland shooting. Now she’s at Brown, and it happened again.

“Honestly, I'm really angry that this is happening to me all over again, and I'm just in shock.”

If you’re running for Congress, maybe talk about passing a bill to refund everyone the difference in their health premiums for 2026 if republicans fail to pass ACA subsidy extensions.

Recently, I've been asked whether every baby actually needs HBV vaccination, largely with the implication that doing this is "one size fits all," and that's not a good approach.

Implicit in this assumption is the idea that every individual's physiology is so unique that it demands unique care.

If Hegseth is removed, I suggest a replacement Trump would like: Gary Sinise. Sure he has never been in the military, but what would matter to Trump is that he has played a soldier on screen. Plus he has already done more for the military and veterans than Pete ever will.

The straight line distance from Venezuela to the USA is bery similar to the distance if you drove straight across the USA from coast to coast. According to Google a good outboard miles per gallon is 5, so less than 1/6 as good as a sedan. Just to put it in perspective.
The boats the regime is claiming are going from Venezuela to the US would need to refuel over 20 times to get to Miami.

They are lying to us.

Since I haven’t seen anyone mention this: When the U.S. commits war crimes it puts our troops in danger also, as it gives a green light to other countries that they can do the same to us

If you are looking to expand your family, please consider a rescue. If you can't adopt, perhaps you can foster for a rescue (rescue pays the bills). Otherwise volunteering or donating also helps these sweet dogs get a better life.
🎄 We just have to find MELIA a forever home by Christmas 🎄
Heres her bio. Shelter contact information is there. Please read it, maybe you're the one for her. If not repost. Her human is out there. We have to find them. 🤞

As you’re preparing for your Thanksgiving meal, remember the skilled work it took to get that food to your grocery store.

Tell us your favorite Thanksgiving dish, and we can share some of what we know about the work behind the ingredients.

Our first dog was a rescue and she bonded so closely with us immediately. I have been blessed with many wonderful pets in my life, but she loved us more deeply than any other. While some rescues do have special needs, many just need a family with an open mind, heart, and home.
😢 MELIA will spend her second Thanksgiving at the shelter. She wants a home for Christmas. She can live with cats, no dogs. Low traffic home, adult only. Needs training. Please adopt her. 😢
