Large size, several car lengths long if I remember.

I slowed down and it slowed down. Then I speeded up and it did too. Kept even with us, very low in the sky. I went a mile past our turn off and it stayed right with us. Chose to carefully turn around to head home and that’s when it floated away. Very frightening.

My younger brother and I were driving home at night. On US20. Suddenly a hotdog shape appeared to our right. Lights all around the shape. But no sound.

Trump Has a Recipe for War and Corruption, Not Peace Who would benefit from the White House’s 28-point proposal for Ukraine?

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.

Today is the Day of Dignity and Freedom in Ukraine.

Two words russia doesn’t know.
Two words russia wants to take from us.

Dignity.

It’s one of the most beautiful photos I’ve ever seen.

Youry Bilak, a French photographer born in 1961 in France to Ukrainian parents –
creates works that capture both the culture and the war of Ukraine.

Hoping your country can stand strong. The US is in the wrong.

Greetings from Kyiv.

I’ve just listened to Zelenskyy’s address to the Ukrainian people.
My opinion?

This man knows what is right.
Ukraine is under enormous pressure from the current US administration.
Zelenskyy made it clear: he wants a decent peace. We all do.

Decent peace is not capitulation.

We have a US administration trying to bully Ukrainians into accepting Russia’s proposal that their sovereignty be undone. Aside from the naked injustice of this, there are five basic practical reasons why it would make the world far more dangerous.

To be fair, he shouldn’t have been elected after saying… he grabs women by the pussy.

And he shouldn’t have stayed in office after the… 1st impeachment.

And he should’ve been prevented from running after the … insurrection.

And now he’s threatening Dems with… death.

EFUCKINGNOUGH.

Why is ICE only focusing on poor immigrants? Can we get rid of some of the Russian oligarchs that live here?

The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.’

I want to take a moment to thank the entire Elias Law Group team who worked on the Texas redistricting case as well as our fearless clients. The thirteen Black and Latino voters we represented stood up to challenge Texas's unprecedented mid-decade redistricting. We all ow them a debt of gratitude.

You might not have caught what just happened on the Senate floor, but the Senate just “deemed as passed” the Epstein resolution.

That means as soon as it arrives from the House, it automatically passes the Senate (with no amendments) and heads to the President’s desk.

Wow.

Senate agrees to automatically pass bill to release Epstein files as Trump claims to not care – US politics live President says ‘I don’t care when the Senate passes the House Bill’ after it agrees to unanimous consent request to pass act as soon as legislation arrives from House

Do not underestimate what a big shift lies behind these events today, and how much advocacy for and with the survivors and against the abuser-in-chief made it happen.

Make Good Trouble
(Congressman John Lewis)

The rising demand for African grey ­parrots and the price for a single bird — as much as $7,000 — drive rampant poaching.

An estimated 1.3 million were traded from 1975-2015, but the true number taken was likely far higher because most die in transit.

The Honduran-born Charlotte resident filed a police report after the officers let him go.

Racial profiling, no warrant, no due process; but what else can one expect from a regime committing extrajudicial murder on the high seas?

Trump's gotta go.

The president of the most powerful nation on Earth is so terrified of the tales that an imprisoned sex trafficker can tell that he plies her with a comfort puppy and custom meals and is holding out the prospect of a pardon.
77 million people voted for this.

Day care worker detained by immigration agents in Chicago released Diana Santillana Galeano was detained last week at Rayito de Sol Spanish Immersion Early Learning Center.

Diana Santillana Galeano, the Chicago day care worker detained in front of children last week, has been released.

“I am so grateful to everyone who has advocated on my behalf, and on behalf of the countless others who have experienced similar trauma over recent months in the Chicago area"

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here
