So a headline that reads, β€œExtreme and Illegal ICE tactics under Trump fail to match deportation rates under Biden” might be more accurate?

If children don’t even have rights outside their parents’ religious desires to attend a school of their chosing, does this not collapse the idea that the rights of a fetus can overrule a parent’s right to bodily autonomy?

Remembering the fallen this Memorial Day, we can consider our own duty to strive so that our lives and our country are worthy of the price they paid.

A photo taken on the steps showing over a 100 people gathered around Jeffries and Booker who are sat broadcasting on the steps of the Capitol. The sky is bright blue.

NEW: Crowd now growing at the Capitol where Cory Booker and Hakeem Jeffries are staging a sit-in on the steps.

Is this building into something?

If you’re in DC, they’re encouraging folk to come down there & support.

Because whether people acknowledge it or not, thanks to the fact that the built environment is disciplined by substantial expense, it is the enduring and truthful text recording our values and priorities.

He completely knew they were liars, and that he was being cheated. What he chose was what he thought would be least harmful for the American people.

Pretty sure she’d say the same thing Hillary did about classified communication outside official government systems.

Plastic recycling gets a breath of fresh air Scientists break down plastic using a simple, inexpensive catalyst and air

Something to give us hope: Northwestern U has pioneered a way to break down PET plastics into monomers. Safer, cheaper and cleaner, and can lead us to a circular economy for plastic that could incentivize the removal of plastics from our environment news.northwestern.edu/stories/2025...

I’m worried one of the end games for these crooks is to sell our nuclear arms to Russia for them to use against Europe - assuming we’ve kept ours better maintained than theirs

I read a story after the Indonesia quake that while the correlation isn’t direct, counting the seconds gives you an idea, with big ones lasting more than a minute, and REALLY big ones longer yet. I counted about 10 seconds for that, but I was certainly relieved when it stopped!

100% it isβ€”Congress needs to reassert its power. These are the people’s purse strings, my vote did not authorize anyone to sacrifice the boots on the ground side of our diplomatic corps. Stand up against him. Shut these criminals out of the government buildings and get their code out of the system

The headlines need to be more accurate--Not that they've "taken down USAID" but that "Musk and his hackers have illegally broken into systems and potentially compromised foreign intelligence." bsky.app/profile/ajba...

Headlines should be "Musk has broken into USAID where he and his team of hackers can gain access US & Foreign Intelligence"

Beaver kills man trying to pose for photo It was the most serious in a string of beaver attacks on humans in Belarus, as the rodents have turned increasingly aggressive when confronted by humans after wandering near homes, shops and schools.

In case my American friends need this reminder: beavers can be deadly.
