Finland proposes a very novel idea — invest in the public library While Britain loses 40 libraries each year, they are thriving in the Scandinavian country, where they are designed by renowned architects and seen as ‘sanctuaries’

Finland has topped the World Happiness Rankings for the eighth year running.

Wonder what they’re doing differently? 🤔🤔

“US intelligence assessments had reached a different conclusion—not only was Iran not actively pursuing a nuclear weapon, it was also up to three years away from being able to produce and deliver one…according to four people familiar with the assessment” www.cnn.com/2025/06/17/p...

If you're not standing with LA right now, you're the problem "This is gaslighting of the most easily identifiable sort."

Mamdani surges in new poll, leading Cuomo for first time in New York mayor's race The former governor has topped every voter survey since entering the race, but the democratic socialist is gaining on him.

Get ready everyone.

The elite right leaning media in DC/NY's acela corridor are about to launch all out attacks on this man - just like they attacked Elizabeth Warren and before that - Howard Dean.

Time to make sure the progressives/left are fully unified behind him.

If seeing a Waymo tagged and on fire upsets you more than a teenager ripped out of his high school graduation by ICE your mind is no longer your own

Some floral beauty to re-regulate your nervous system this Sunday afternoon. Because beauty and pleasure is resistance too.

Guard is walking behind cops. Cops are trying to push back at least a thousand people.

Police are now dealing with what seems like two different problems. The people who feel threatened and are tired of it and whatever set the police off to come down in emergency formation.

They’re looking for three different vehicles in the area. Something is wrong. They’re not after the protesters.

Something went wrong and I think it had something to do with a man on a motorcycle. But more than that happened. The crowd was so large it’s hard to tell what made the cops turn.

I’m not sure what changed. Police presence is massive now. People are running.

With a massive amount of city and state officials and reps present as well as large media presence, ICE is acting very differently than they did the past two days. They are being watched by the entire world right now. They can’t blame protesters and fire bombs like yesterday.

The protests are in full swing and it is a lot of people. LA is unfazed by National Guard presence. If anything it has motivated more to come out and protest this administration.

The LAPD says they will protect peaceful protesters and will not tolerate violence. Does that mean they will not tolerate the violence of ICE? W will they be protecting Californians from ICE?
