I'm aware that the President likes to go on television and beg me to call him to ask for troops.

I find it strange, as Chicago doesn't want troops.

I also have experience asking him for assistance – just to have the rug pulled up from underneath me when execution meets reality.

🤞🏼 I’m 39 years old and attempting to conceive my first child with my partner. We actually hope to have two kids…& I’ve been wondering how weird I may feel being an old parent - I mean, my mom was a grandmother at age 43…this gives me some hope.

The President of the United States is advocating for arresting the duly-elected Governor of California for his SPEECH

He thereafter admitted that the Governor of California had committed NO CRIME—but he still wants him arrested

Spend as much time as you need processing what that means for America

see, the thing *i’m* genuinely worried about is that RFK will effectively ban vaccines

Today's Berardelli Bonus... Earth's CO2 hit a new milestone in May - 430 parts per million. Our best science tells us it's the highest in 14 million yrs & the rate of growth is ~100X natural. For the past 10K years CO2 was steady at 280ppm, but our Goldilocks climate is now done.

New COVID-19 variant NB.1.8.1 is spreading, fueling surges across the globe.

RFK Jr, who admits before Congress that he's unqualified to head HHS,cancels vaccinations,
in direct opposition to medical advice.

Believe truth & science. Not him.
Get vaccinated.Share this.

This composite of images spaced a weather-permitting 5 to 9 days apart, from 2024 September 19 (top right) through 2025 May 18 (bottom left), faithfully traces ruddy-colored Mars as it makes a clockwise loop through the constellations Gemini and Cancer in planet Earth's night sky. You can connect the dots and dates with your cursor over the image, but be sure to check out this animation of the Red Planet's 2024/25 retrograde motion. Of course Mars didn't actually reverse the direction of its orbit. Instead, the apparent backwards motion with respect to the background stars is a reflection of the orbital motion of Earth itself. Retrograde motion can be seen each time Earth overtakes and laps planets orbiting farther from the Sun, the Earth moving more rapidly through its own relatively close-in orbit. In this case Mars' apparent eastward motion began to reverse around December 8, when it seemed to linger near open star cluster M44 in Cancer. After wandering back to the west, under Gemini's bright stars Castor and Pollux, Mars returned to pose near M44 by early May. At its brightest near opposition on 2025 January 16, Mars was a mere 96 million kilometers away.

ICE turned back in Somerville

So many Somerville community members came out that ICE simply retreated. Nonviolent resistance works when communities come together to protect kids and families.

If you know anything about RFK Jr the fact that he falsified the MAHA report should not surprise you in the least.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the health secretary, posted photos on Sunday of himself and his grandchildren swimming in a contaminated Washington creek where swimming is not allowed because it is used for sewer runoff. Rock Creek, which flows through much of Northwest Washington, is used to drain excess sewage and storm water during rainfall. The creek has widespread "fecal" contamination and high levels of bacteria, including E. coli, and the city has banned swimming in all of its waterways for more than 50 years because of the widespread contamination of Rock Creek and other nearby rivers. "Rock Creek has high levels of bacteria and other infectious pathogens that make swimming, wading, and other contact with the water a hazard to human (and pet) health," the National Park Service wrote in an advisory on its website, adding "All District waterways are subject to a swim ban — this means wading, too!" -New York Times

This isn't hypothetical.

The coming days are bringing higher prices and disrupted supply chains, this time not because of a pandemic or a war, but self-inflicted by our country's government under this president.

What is happening out there? Is this a tease or are ppl accepting the reality and just choosing to continue on? Or is it as my dad tells me - a confectionery business is recession proof? (
🤞🏼 let’s hope - I’ve managed to keep it going for 10 years. (Through extreme sacrifice 🥵)

April was an extremely slow month for my business - after experiencing the busiest 8 months of my entire career, April came to a sudden halt. I know I’m not the only one - since “liberation day”, $$$ has been tight for most businesses.
But suddenly it’s May and I’m flooded with orders again…?

it really is astounding that a presidential administration crashed the growth trajectory of the wealthiest country on the planet in basically two months

He is just completely disconnected from the reality of how his policies impact average Americans, and he is surrounded my sycophants 24/7 who tell him that he’s the greatest, everything is perfect, and everyone loves him. He lives in a fantasy world.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett—is the Vice Ranking Member of the Oversight Committee and she is next in line, y’all. 🔥

Let’s rally behind her because she’s the fierce fighter we need.

This is your regular reminder that executive orders are not royal decrees. Because America has no king.
