Charlie Kirk repeatedly called for the release of the Epstein files. As his good friend, I think Donald Trump should honor his wishes.

2. Absurdity is a hallmark of authoritarianism. It's not just that those who believe absurdities commit atrocities. It's also that those who endorse atrocities become absurd.
This is where Keir Starmer's government now finds itself.

1. Yesterday, 86 people were arrested in the UK under the Terrorism Act 2000 for holding signs saying "I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action."
They are the opposite of terrorists. They were protesting *against* terrorism. 🧵

The dangers of sitting: why sitting is the new smoking The less sitting or lying down you do during the day, the better your chances for living a healthy life.

At school, we were repeatedly instructed to "sit still", and this became embedded in our lives as a cardinal virtue. We now know that sitting still is highly damaging to our health. Perhaps it's time we told children to do the opposite.

i sure do love those 30 seconds after waking up when i haven’t yet remembered about The Things

Slide 1: A yellow background and a meter indicating moderate wastewater levels of SARS-CoV-2. The text reads, "We remain in a moderate period between COVID-19 surges in the U.S., with all national metrics reporting plateaus or slight declines. Some data sources suggest that infections may be starting to go up in parts of the South, but these data are tentative so far. Meanwhile, Trump-appointed health officials are threatening the approval process for COVID-19 vaccines. While COVID-19 is at more moderate levels now, experts anticipate a surge this summer, followed by likely many more surges as people continue to abandon collective health measures. And U.S. government agencies may make it even harder to access one of the few measures that remains widespread, as the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) introduces new challenges for vaccine developers like Novavax and potentially Pfizer and Moderna, too."

A yellow background and a meter indicating moderate wastewater levels of SARS-CoV-2. Map of the U.S., color-coded by state. The chart is titled, "COVID-19," and text at the top reads: "As of April 22, 2025, we estimate that COVID-19 infections are growing or likely growing in 4 states, declining or likely declining in 20 states, and not changing in 21 states." Four states are shaded in purple for "growing or likely growing": West Virginia, Alabama, Florida, Hawaii. Other states are in green for "declining or likely declining," gray for "not changing," or white for "not estimated."

Given the literal definition of deportation is removing a foreigner or noncitizen from the country, we - journalists, media orgs - should probably all stop referring to the ‘deportation’ of a 2 year old US citizen. It’s NOT a deportation.

I’m not sure what it is. A kidnapping?

Love the pattern and colors! 😍

Look at this distinguished gentleman! Happy Birthday!

“That they should be the ones to welcome Pope Francis’s coffin in the basilica is because these people are those who represented the focus of his mission,” said Father Giulio Albanese, head of missionary cooperation and communications for the Vicariate of Rome. “They are those who live on the peripheries, geographical and existential peripheries.”

The final honor guard for Pope Francis included migrants, prisoners, transgender people, the homeless and others selected by the Vicariate of Rome as a symbol of the late pope’s mission of inclusion and outreach.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government.

No one has heard from you in 43 days.

Lots of people I know that were furious about kids having to wear masks are real quiet about a two year old citizen being wrongfully deported

Forget what they SAY.
Watch what they DO.

Why would we want to have children in this country when: - no one can afford groceries - if your kid is autistic they'll be put on a registry - if your kid is trans they'll be targeted - if your kid gets sick, medical debt will destroy you - your kid might get shot at school - if the pregnancy goes wrong, they'll let you die

Musk and the right-wingers who seem oh so concerned about birth-rates never seem to grasp the simple fact that people look around at the world they are creating and don't see a world they want to bring children into. They cannot grasp this:

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING NEWS: Was just passed this from a fellow service academy grad. A Coast Guard Academy graduate posted this. They are reporting that ICE entered base housing and took a USCG spouse. I can’t confirm this but I’m calling for answers from the Coast Guard and Congress. This is unacceptable.

Hegseth Set Up Signal on a Computer in His Pentagon Office The app facilitated communications in a building where cell service is poor and personal phones are not allowed in some areas.

Living under narcissistic governance is psychological erosion. Decisions shift with ego, not logic — today’s truth becomes tomorrow’s betrayal. The constant contradiction, the weaponized inconsistency, creates not just confusion, but a sustained state of persecution.
