What continues to bug is that Mary McDonnell’s character didn’t ask for anything. She deserved a reward and should have spoken up for herself!

Baltimore is seeing the city’s fewest homicides in 50 years. Here’s why. Multiple people have taken credit for the historic drop that mirrors a national decrease in violent crimes. Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott says it’s due to a community-based approach to gun violence.

#Baltimore Mayor #BrandonScott invested in 42 summer youth camps, 29 literacy programs, extended the rec center hours to 11 p.m, planned block parties, opened the pools for safe fun, & opened several schools up for summer classes. Crime is down 62%. 🔥🔥 www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

"This bill is a real piece of shit it and it would be excellent if that's all anyone talked about for the next few days. Super interested in your think piece about the NYC mayor's race but let's get to that after we try to stop the biggest wealth transfer in American history." - Sen. Brian Schatz (D-HI), on X, about the GOP megabill.

THANK YOU.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

The military isn’t being employed to carry out an immigration policy.

The immigration policy, and especially the way the administration is choosing to carry it out, is an excuse to call out the military.

I implore people to think about what Memorial Day means, and then think about…this

lol

Radio. Traffic and weather on the eights.

Hey @americanair.bsky.social is this really the kind of person you want working for you?

3 authors for you: Grey Tuttle, the Tibetan History Reader and his other books, Warren Smith, Tibetan Nation - which is a comprehensive history so from the beginning to the end of 20th century and not sure if this what your looking for but Glen Mullin, the fourteen Dalai Lamas.

Gotcha. BRB

This is the kind of thing that needs to be fully opposed to be stopped, no half measures, absolute resistance

Compassion Rising World Tour 2025

The 90-day countdown begins!

Let’s honor his legacy of peace, wisdom & compassion with 90 days of action, celebration, and love.
Every day counts. 🌍💛 #DalaiLama90

The Dalai Lama’s example of leadership and hope is what we all need today #tibet

The people of Sackets Harbor—and especially the school administrators and teachers—should serve as an example for us all that resistance can work. You do not need to comply in advance. The Trump administration is powerful, but not invincible. This story is a reminder to journalists that reporting on things happening in the smallest places can have the largest impact. My hats off to the local journalists who first made noise about this miscarriage of justice. I feel fortunate that I could help amplify it, and that we can celebrate this small but powerful victory. And we can rest a little easier knowing the third grader will finally get to see the welcome home banner hung by classmates with love.

New — ICE will release the mother and children they shackled and unlawfully abducted from Sackets Harbor, NY in late March after relentless pressure from the town.

I write how the incredible outcome of this horrifying story should give fuel us to fight back: www.thehandbasket.co/p/sackets-ha...

I knew it was only a matter of time. Democracy died.

Millions of bees have died this year. It's "the worst bee loss in recorded history," one beekeeper says. Bees play a key role in the U.S. food supply, and the mass deaths could jeopardize that.

Of all the scary things out there. This is the scariest

There are moments in time, especially in which fundamental issues of humanity are concerned, when one cannot remain silent out of expediency or self-interest. -- The Dalai Lama, Voice for the Voiceless
