it reads like chasing tail… Meanwhile I have received one alert about the record number of schools and businesses participating in today’s Anti-Ice protests.

Chanting, “We will not be divided, students united.”

The parents trickled around the protest smiling with pride.

It was a beautiful and devastating at once.

San Antonio’s local schools meet at Woodlawn park for today’s national ICE protests.

I’m running for governor.

For over a decade, Greg Abbott has made it easier for billionaires to profit while hardworking Texans struggle to afford groceries, housing, and healthcare.

But together, we can make Texas work for Texans again.

Designating Antifa as a Domestic Terrorist Organization Section 1.  Antifa as a Terrorist Threat.  Antifa is a militarist, anarchist enterprise that explicitly calls for the overthrow of the United States

Find the article here:
Pro tip: After reading practice, take five deep breaths and touch some grass to remember the world is pretty at least!

Two things to know:
• Antifa isn’t an organization.
• There’s no evidence of militarized or weaponized activity tied to the network.

This framing matters — it’s a subtle attack on free speech.
Stay safe, seek truth.

The White House President Donald J. Trump and Vice President JD Vance are committed to lowering costs for all Americans, securing our borders, unleashing American energy dominance, restoring peace through strength, a...

Last week, I asked LinkedIn users how many of us actually read articles on whitehouse.gov.
Most said never.

So here’s one worth your time:
“Designating ANTIFA as a Domestic Terrorist Organization.”

#FreedomOfSpeech #MediaLiteracy #Antifa

Something about the stillness in the air,
the catch in everyone’s breath,
the anchoring of boots in the mud—
that makes one ponder the power of the little screen.
Checking our phones one more time to confirm the definition, just
chasing its tail.

A short poem on American life, 2025.

ohhhh, so glad no one asked what's on my mind.

it's just tech accelerating a billion percent while reading levels drop, and no one talks about the world happiness index or america’s happiness ranking in free fall for a decade.

This is a hardcore example of the post-truth era. A verifiable question was asked, but cannot be answered.

FDA quietly approved a generic abortion pill ahead of shutdown The approval of a generic for the medication mifepristone comes less than two weeks after Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. pledged that the agency would review the drug’s safety.

On Tuesday, the government quietly approved Mifepristone, a generic abortion drug, now set to be available Jan. 2026.

Evidence that, despite the chaos of this administration, meaningful work is still getting done.

Keep hope and continue to show up for one another.

Meet Albania’s new minister: an AI hologram called Diella Diella has been introduced to root out corruption, aligning Albania with EU accession rules — but some fear she is a smokescreen for government malpractice

Imagine we lived in a world where a chatbot became a Prime Minister before a woman became President of the US, oh wait.

Last week, one of the biggest stories in tech dropped: Africa launched the world’s first continental internet infrastructure. The lack of global coverage is telling; it reveals how modern media continues to overlook Africa. But slow headlines will not slow the continent’s technological progress.

That’s why I made Rainy Days Survival Guide — a small, science-based, and deeply human zine for the days when the world feels too chaotic.

US vetoes resolution for unconditional Gaza ceasefire at UN security council Russia, China, France and the UK all voted in favour of ‘immediate, unconditional and permanent ceasefire’

www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...?

when white lives were at stake—ukraine, bosnia, kosovo—
the U.S. led interventions within days.
now? in gaza, it vetoes UN ceasefire resolutions.
it vetoed multiple UN resolutions backed by nearly every country. while starvation escalates, aid is blocked, and deaths mount.

if Palestinians were a white population,
this wouldn’t be allowed to happen like this.
the mass death. the famine. the flattening.

and pretend we will, but the reality is apparent, it's always about race.

#booksky

no one wants to talk about race anymore.
but what’s happening in Palestine is about race.
the forced displacement. the dehumanization. the mass death.
and if you’re in america watching all of this unfold—
you’re watching a racialized system protect itself.
quietly. globally. daily.

The Second Civil Rights Movement On June 14, 2025, the streets filled faster than the headlines. From Pittsburgh to Paris, more than 2,000 protests converged in a shared demand: power without monarchy, rights without conditions.
