One of the greatest Kennedy Center Honors performances ever: Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart, Jason Bonham on drums, and Shane Fontayne on electric guitar. It moved Robert Plant to tears as he watched alongside Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones. (Edited for format)

🇺🇦🎶 In the tunnel of the Kyiv metro — a grand piano, and next to it — javelin. And "How can I not love you, my Kyiv" in a performance that takes your breath away, - arikovaolga Weapons and music — that's exactly what the capital is like now: it lives and does not give up.

This is the crowd to see James Talarico tonight in Ken Paxton’s home county.

He has officially given up on the $1.776 billion slush fund. UFC fighters are backing out. He already had to cancel the Freedom 250 concert. Everyone hates him. Get ready for unhinged Trash Social rants. I'm so happy. - The Politics Chicks

Pride was born as a riot, and has always been an act of defiance. During my life, I survived an internment camp. I came out at 68. I've watched rights get won and now watch them being rolled back. Yet I'm still here, still proud, and still holding Brad's hand.

I noticed an elderly woman using a mobility scooter on my bike route was always getting jammed up and walked over and missing her chance at crosswalks.

This is amazing! Everyone talks about the future of transportation as if it will be invented in Silicon Valley, China, or Europe. But Africa may end up leading the next mobility revolution. REMEMBER THIS NAME: “Spiro” isn’t just selling electric motorcycles. 🧵

I oppose the Duke Energy rate hikes. Michael Whatley has the opportunity to do the same and refuses.

One of the best things about being alive is that there are dogs. Remember, if you're having a tough time, there are dogs.

Netanyahu has crossed every red line of international law. HRW and the ICC have documented unlawful attacks on civilians, including white phosphorus strikes. At some point the world has to stop “expressing concern” and start issuing handcuffs
