#OTD in 1961, AP names Wilma Rudolph Female Athlete of the Year for the 2nd consecutive year Rudolph overcame childhood polio to become the fastest woman runner in the world; first American woman to win 3 track/field gold medals in a single Olympiad, Rome 1960. #WomenInSport #champion #inspiration

Michelle Obama talks to Jimmy Kimmel about Rob Reiner and Michele Reiner. This is from tonight’s episode.

#GVerse via @captmarkkelly.bsky.social "Tonight, we learned the Pentagon is escalating its review of me into "an official command investigation." If #Shit4Brains or #WhiskyLeaks think they can stop me from doing my job and serving the American people, they've got the wrong guy."

Ahmed al Ahmed, the man who tackled one of the Bondi killers, became an Australian citizen 3 years ago. His deed was "his way of conveying his gratitude for staying in Australia, for being granted citizenship." He took 5 bullets, and fears he'll lose his left arm. www.smh.com.au/national/nsw...

Happy 100th birthday to Dick Van Dyke. Born on this day, 1925.

I had fun reading to some Burke Elementary students at the Chicago Public Library today. When the Obama Presidential Center opens next year, we’ll have a new branch of the library for the community to enjoy.

A peace prize for insecure cats!

"As masked agents dragged the woman from her car, wrestled her to the ground and forced handcuffs on her, she yelled, 'I’m a US citizen. Please help me! This is unfair. Why are you doing this to me?' She was wearing scrubs and appeared to be on her way to work." www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

41 minutes of watching two shipwrecked men trying to flip a boat and signaling for surrender/help before firing on them again reminds me of the 9.5 minutes Derek Chauvin knelt on George Floyd’s neck, in that it’s an agonizingly long time to be killing helpless people who clearly posed no threat.

Reposting this everyday until Pete Hagueseth faces justice for his crimes against humanity.

Data centres are energy hungry but what if we could use their waste heat to heat our homes? That's exactly what happens in places like Finland: Cities are tapping the vast amounts of waste heat generated by data centres, and feeding it into district-heating networks.

I just find it hilarious that his whole cabinet is sloberring praise all over him with ridiculous hyperbole and he is falling asleep while they're doing it. You couldn't write comedy better than this. It's better than VEEP.

Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars. She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

I've lost track, and I wasn't keeping count. Did Lindsay Halligan complete a Scaramucci? Since she wasn't legally appointed, how do we count her start date?

Thank you Mark Kelly for continuing to speak up.

Behind this important reversal is a member of the Coast Guard who saw what was happening and had the courage to leak it to the press. That person deserves serious praise.

Hours after Border Patrol swept through Charlotte, protesters filled uptown with courage, not fear. They marched peacefully, stood united, and refused to be intimidated. Charlotte showed up. And it showed strength.💪

RIP Jamal. You deserved better.

I want to take a moment to thank the entire Elias Law Group team who worked on the Texas redistricting case as well as our fearless clients. The thirteen Black and Latino voters we represented stood up to challenge Texas's unprecedented mid-decade redistricting. We all ow them a debt of gratitude.

Just found this Pendleton ad from a 1960 issue of Sports Illustrated.

A US citizen filmed federal agents smashing his car window, as authorities begin a surge of immigration enforcement operations in North Carolina. The Honduran-born Charlotte resident filed a police report after the officers let him go.
