Musk demanded proof people died from USAID cuts. He got it — and lost it. open.substack.com/pub/oligarch...

This is simply not true. Congress cannot do this without a Constitutional Amendment. No gray area here.

Count the stars. There are 11, not 13. There were 11 Confederate states during the Civil War. Trump was indoctrinated in all that KKKrap by his father, Fred. Don’t overlook the significance of this. It is clearly a call to all of his white supremacist bannermen to come to his aid.

Stop having so many children!

One of the most successful pedestrian streets in the world, the Strøget in Copenhagen, was filled with cars until a 2 year pedestrianization pilot project in 1962. The opposition argued “no cars means no business,” but the street has been a massive retail success, the city’s busiest shopping street.

The story of New York City is shaped by the story of its immigrant communities. Our Newest New Yorkers report explores the lives of the city's 3.1M immigrant residents — where they come from, the languages they speak, the neighborhoods they call home, and the communities they build every day.

A Los Angeles restaurant worker with a valid work permit was followed by ICE into her workplace. The manager used PAXIS.app to identify the kitchen as a non-public area, told agents they could not enter without consent, asked for a judicial warrant refused access, and requested that they leave.

Happy Caturday.

Coming from the most corrupt Administration in American history, this is an honor I'll treasure forever.

Climate.us is live. Built by members of the team behind Climate.gov, this new independent nonprofit website keeps trusted climate information easy to find, easy to use, and harder to erase. #ClimateForUs #ClimateUS

Please don't let your dogs ride in your lap in the front seat. If you are in an accident & your air bags inflate, the dog can be killed or severely injured. The dog can also severely injure you if the air bag inflates. Don't learn this the hard way. Airbags inflate at speeds of up to 200 mph.

if you feel the need to declaw a cat, you simply should not have a cat i propose cutting the first knuckle off people's fingers if they do this. it's an equivalent surgery.

Promote free and easy to obtain birth control, including abortions, and science-based education.

I care deeply about, like, 8 people in my life and somewhere between 400 and 600 dogs on the internet I've never met.

..and then I have to deal with fry theft?! in this economy?!

This week someone targeted my family for harm with a false report. We’re physically OK, but that doesn’t mean we weren’t harmed. I am beyond furious. Whatever your politics, this is awful, wrong, and can never become normal.

As my intersex cousin told me, intersex people and redheads are 1.5-2% of the world’s population. We ARE rare…and special!

Books, pierogi, and wine.

Uhmmm….

As a Watergate historian, this might be the dumbest and worst take we’ve seen from JD Vance in a long time. And it’s also a complete misunderstanding of Nixon and Watergate.

The Cat Ba langur (also known as the golden-headed langur) is one of the rarest primates on Earth. It lives only on Cat Ba Island in Northern Vietnam and nowhere else in the wild. There are only about 70 to 80 individuals left in existence. Original post

Global warming is real .... just slow

Oh oh groan!

Whilst in Snecky (Inverness), we popped in to a Polish Grocery called Touch Of Poland. It's a wee hole in the wall with a GREAT butchers counter and all kinds of fabulous foods. I decided to pick out a Polish beer for a taste test video and landed on this one. I had to google it; it's all in Polish!

This is Bryan. Once a week, he takes a shelter pup on a New York City adventure in his ‘Adopt Me’ backpack, hoping someone will fall in love. He films their big day out, and almost every dog he’s featured has found a forever home. [📹 madmax_fluffyroad] Original post

Just put “beneficial” in front of side effect/s.

Today marks four years since the Dobbs decision overturned Roe v. Wade. At least 12 women have died, and countless more have been forced to suffer, after abortion bans delayed or denied the care they needed.   That isn't freedom.

Reminder: perhaps the easiest & cheapest way to tell Bezos to fuck off is by linking to Bookshop or (even better) an indie bookstore WHENEVER you talk about a book online. W/o a link people will just google it & that will lead to Amazon. W a link you can send a sale to a good business

Minnesota was the first state to establish an ironclad right to reproductive freedom after the Dobbs decision. Politicians across the nation turned back the clock on reproductive rights. But here in Minnesota, we trust people to make their own decisions.

The reason Obama used water from the river for the reflecting pool and not city water is because city water is treated with orthophosphates, which is food for algae, causing massive blooms that produce cyanotoxins that kill wildlife.

When Eileen Collins became the first woman to command a Space Shuttle, she wasn’t just making history. She was continuing it. Reflecting on the pioneers before her, she said: “Because of these women, my generation were able to look back and say, ‘Hey, they did it. We can do it, too.’” 🚀 #SheShed

I’m donating my body to science. Body farm, anatomy class, whatever.

Her transformation into Tammy Faye Baker seems to be accelerating.

Ted Lieu: “There is a 24/7 camera that shows the reflecting pool. If someone went into the pool and made a 250 foot gash, it would have been seen trump is lying again. Everyone knows it, but the people at the Justice Dept are randomly going after people to soothe trump’s fragile ego”

I had to look this up to make sure it wasn’t AI. Apparently this administration is operating straight out of Idiocracy. There’s a well-known coatings problem called “hot tire pickup.” So what did they do? Drove vehicles through the freshly painted Reflecting Pool and damaged the new coating.

Here’s a reminder to get your week started off right!!! Good morning 🌞

Thanks,Governor Newsom......

This is great! Add on 5 more. #Dogs #Cats 🦮🐈

Wife being artsy fartsy tonight

That is beautiful!

For more than two decades, Mona Khalil protected the endangered sea turtles that laid their eggs on a beach in Lebanon and kept predators away from the hatchlings. On June 4, she was wounded in an Israeli airstrike in southern Lebanon, and on Friday, she died of her injuries, a close friend said.

Someone sent this to me and I couldn't stop laughing 🤣😅🤣😂🤣
