Said it before, but man, Chicago Pope is just knocking them out of the park on a consistent basis.

From a friend’s Facebook page. Perfect. 👌

Point of order: all that matters is turning out the vote. Hungary just proved this. Political actions that matter: doing whatever we can to motivate people to vote. —We will get distracted, so repeatedly bringing our focus back to this objective, is key.

Saw an interesting toad and wanted to share it with the world. ✌️ #nature #toad

Peacock Butterfly (Aglais io): This colourful butterfly species is native to temperate Asia and Europe, it has a wingspan of 55mm (2.16in) and hibernates in trees or buildings during winter, it can use its eye-spots as an anti-predator deterrent. Beautiful photo taken by Ellena Bailey in the UK.

WARREN: I want to understand how slashing healthcare for families so Meta gets a $3b tax cut is a 'really good outcome for the American public' IRS CEO BISIGNANO: I don't see the two as correlated W: Those tax cuts were paid for by pushing people off their healthcare. Did you not follow that?

Chuck Schumer's two votes tonight in favor of bombs and bulldozers to Israel is yet another reason Senate Democrats must vote to remove him as leader post the midterms.

So much winning! For Iran, that is...

Right now, the conversation isn’t about nuclear programs, or free and fair elections in Iran. It's about reopening a body of water that was open before this war started. Chalk that up as a win for Tehran.

So Trump is pardoning the Proud Boys. A few here were sentenced to 22 years for seditious conspiracy.  I went to the DC jail and the night of the inauguration when he pardoned all the J6 “prisoners” it was the first thing he did, but these guys only got clemency. Trump needs his loyalist army.

A joint statement by 10 countries, including Canada, the UK, and Australia call for an urgent end to Israeli attacks and the protection of aid workers in southern Lebanon. Israel is out of control aided by US government $$$

Disney's new CEO, whose pay package is worth nearly $45M, just announced 1,000 layoffs. Reminder that Disney paid an effective federal income tax rate of ZERO in 2025 and aims to buy back $7B of its own stock in 2026. This is what corporate greed looks like.

Amazon will pay $20.5 million to settle allegations that two of its Oregon data centers helped contaminate groundwater. This is exactly why communities across the country are organizing to stop data centers — and winning. Never doubt your power to change the system.

Have you noticed the shift in big media? They're no longer talking about 'Russia's inevitable victory with small ground gains'. They're talking about Russia being 'ravaged' by Ukraine. This is good.

They didn't just pardon them. They're erasing the convictions entirely. Not...you're guilty but forgiven. But...the guilty verdicts never should have happened. There's a difference. And it matters enormously for what comes next. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

Not feeling good about giving my hard earned money to the oligarchs, to fund illegal & unnecessary "wars,"or fund any of this admin's crooked schemes. Not at all 'good.'

#sunset behind a tree! What a perfect photo!

You know what's really embarrassing about this conflict? Iran has a 90 percent literacy rate while 50 per cent of the US reads at the 6th grade level or below. Iran sent Phds to the ceasefire talks. The US sent realtors.

We have a pretty good idea, JD

The human body was not meant to endure 2 trump terms in one lifetime.

What a decent President says.

I’ll have what Hungary’s having.

These are the scenes outside polling stations in Budapest today as national voter turnout hits 54.14% by 1pm (vs 40.01% in 2022). I'm feeling hopeful for all my Hungarian friends today who've waited a long time to oust their authoritarian Putin-puppet autocrat.

Both. Ukraine has clearly taken the upper hand in the war. Putin may have even given up, except trump's attacks on Iran bailed out Russia's oil exports and gave him money to drag the fighting out a bit longer.

So, are we just going to wage war on everyone now?

😡😡

Kushner looks like even he can’t believe he’s getting away with being a lead negotiator when he’s the son in law of the president and their family has billions of dollars worth of deals in the region

Just a friendly reminder that Alligator Auschwitz is still open and thousands of people have just disappeared from there and no one knows where they are.

Who would’ve guessed? An administration filled with grossly incompetent people, led by the stupidest president to ever occupy the Oval Office, failed to end the illegal war they started. April 12, 2026.

I just found out that tiny little field mice climb into flowers like tulips and take little naps in them like hammocks and I feel like this information is too important for me not to share with anyone. 🥹

Trump isn't making America great again. Trump works for Putin, and Putin wants to destroy America from the inside. Americans are way too calm about the fact that a hostile Russian asset is sitting in the Oval office and has access to our nuclear codes.

The Himalayan vulture showcases its striking “false eyes,” a smart adaptation that makes it look bigger and more intimidating. Original post

The call of dog

Now Trump wants to steal our social security for the Iran war & his Qatar bank account. That's exactly how Putin told him to do it. Exactly. He will bankrupt America 🇺🇸.

I know the running joke is that Rubio supposedly has multiple jobs but maybe he could try doing Secretary of State stuff once in a while.
