This is Manchis. She's the dog of Alberto MesΓ­as ZΓ‘rate, a journalist in Peru. When her human was targeted this week by criminals who threw an explosive device at their home, she barked at the perpetrators and successfully extinguished the dynamite before it detonated. 14/10 good girl, Manchis

Every school in America has a version of active shooter drills. Teachers take extra workshops. Kids are taught combat level first aid.

But did anyone think to teach a while you're praying shooter drill?

STOP THE GUNS!

Hey MSM, ask RFK Jr to define 'inflammation'. Ask him to define 'mitochondria'. Ask him how, specifically, that he can tell how children have 'mitochondrial challenges'. Ask him what, specifically, about children's faces and body movement indicates inflammation. He won't know. He's making shit up.

Researcher who has distorted voter data appointed to Homeland Security election integrity role A conservative election researcher whose faulty findings on voter data were cited by President Donald Trump as he tried to overturn his 2020 election loss has been appointed to an election integrity r...

The political appointment, first reported by Democracy Docket, shows how self-styled election investigators who have thrown themselves into election conspiracy theories since 2020 are now being celebrated by a presidential administration that indulges their false claims.

DHS moves to bar aid groups from serving undocumented immigrants Disaster-aid groups said the new contracts would make it harder for nonprofits to help the most vulnerable Americans in the aftermath of a disaster.

Why of course, this is what good Christian Nationalists do for people in need.

I believe this was predicted but still disquieting. One would have to be naive to think such a covert operation is not already planned or underway in Canada, most likely centred in Alberta. Trump’s CIA serves Trump after all.

We’re going to go on a rant for a minute, and yes we’re bringing some history with us. Back in 1755, Benjamin Franklin wrote words that still echo today: β€œThose who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”

Our President keeps insisting prices are going to drop by 1400%, 1000%, or some other number that’s mathematically impossible. That he can’t do simple math isn’t the problem, it’s that he’s lying to America while things are getting more expensive because of his bad choices.

It’s outrageous that Sec. Kennedy is trying to fire the CDC Director β€” after only a few weeks on the job β€” for her commitment to public health & vaccines.

The Sen. HELP Committee must hold a hearing with Kennedy & the CDC Director as soon as possible.

Vaccines save lives. Period.

Something is wrong with a system where 76% of workers say they’re worried to make ends meet, while greedy corporate CEOs make 285x what the median worker does.

Working people don’t have to accept this. A union contract is how we fight back.

I pray tonight for the priest who was saying Mass as the Minneapolis shooting unfolded in front of him. That had to be a horrible sight to see from the altar. I've prayed all day for the families affected. As a mother, grandmother, and former teacher, each school shooting takes another piece of me.
