Saw USMNT referred to as Epsteam today. Having trouble unseeing it. 💔🤍💙

We so need this in St. Louis. I used to stay out all night in Stuttgart and take the 5 a.m. train home. I never felt unsafe -- and that was 25 years ago. I wish my kids could do the same here. But no surprise the U.S. is not implementing this as well as Europe. 💔🤍💙 nextcity.org/urbanist-new...

As someone who grew up on a ranch, I am so frustrated by the federal-level policies that are letting this influx happen -- and will make it harder to address. 💔🤍💙

"Each generation inherits the task of shaping its own era, of guiding history to become a place where the dignity of every person is safeguarded, justice is promoted and fraternity is made possible." ❤️🤍💙 www.vatican.va/content/leo-...

Pricier ACA premiums for lower-quality insurance. 💔🤍💙 My well woman exam copay yesterday was $55. That is ridiculous for routine preventative care. I understand that the tax credits we lost were supplemental, and I would understand the need for cost savings...if we weren't spending billions on war.

Over the past two years I've started visiting presidential museums and libraries -- even of presidents I did not like. I can't wait to see the Obama museum, and this just adds one more reason why. ❤️🤍💙 jesspiper.substack.com/p/im-not-cry...

Love that this investigative reporter is unphased by glamor. I hope the industry can keep attracting people like her. ❤️🤍💙 youtu.be/-reCUSwuzVg

💔🤍💙 Even though immigration courts aren't the same type of legal proceedings as regular U.S. courts, they should be held to higher standards than this. nipnlg.org/news/press-r...

💔🤍💙 www.themarshallproject.org/2026/06/01/i...

This is possibly the worst press release in the history of press releases ... but it just goes to show that important information (like keeping vaccinations free ❤️🤍💙) can hide in unremarkable places. Sadly, you might need a guide to find and interpret it. www.ahip.org/news/press-r...

Strong coverage from our local paper -- and of today's rally at the federal building downtown. ❤️🤍💙 www.stltoday.com/news/local/e...

Excellent reporting about the websites gathering data about ICE and immigration. ❤️🤍💙 Even the good ones have a ways to go with accountability and transparency. www.poynter.org/reporting-ed...

And Missourians will still be fooled. They love their "Show Me State" motto, which highlights to me how surface-level gloss can trick the gullible -- especially when they *believe* they are savvy. 💔🤍💙

The quality of On the Media just keeps getting better. This episode was super helpful -- not that I will use the Russian words, but I recognize the concepts within the U.S. immediately. 💔🤍💙 www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm...

Interesting take on the horizontal and vertical types of democracy. 💔🤍💙 youtu.be/p7RqjlWMC6U

Congress is mostly made up of millionaires. Let's send these folks instead. ❤️🤍💙 cwcp.substack.com/p/draft-prim...

Just this morning I successfully interviewed someone after she shut down the first person to try to talk with her because they were too pushy. I am living proof that empathy and patience can work. ❤️🤍💙 theconversation.com/debate-me-do...

Things have only gotten worse in the three years since this was published. missouriindependent.com/2023/07/10/n... 💔🤍💙 But this gives you a taste of the money pouring into public education decisions in Missouri (and trickling up to the rest of the country).

True of immigration policy and so much else in this administration. 💔🤍💙

💔🤍💙 and 🤬🤬🤬 There is already a shortage of federal employees. This will not help.

These are remarkable projections. Proud to work for the Census Bureau (although not on this specific survey). ❤️🤍💙

Fry bread is delicious, and I could not love this story more. ❤️🤍💙 civileats.com/2026/05/18/h...

Oh my goodness, I hope this **is** what the world remembers about the U.S. as a host country. And I say that as a huge sports fan. 💔🤍💙

A million times yes. 💔🤍💙

Regardless of how the current U.S. administration votes on this, the reality is inescapable. 💔🤍💙

Good on scientists to study this topic since it is so pervasive. ❤️🤍💙 "The authors find little evidence of a clear gain in classroom attention and no meaningful improvement in attendance or chronic absenteeism. They also find the average effect on test scores to be close to zero."

❤️🤍💙 I started taking new genres of dance classes in my 40s -- kizomba, flamenco, salsa, bachata, country line -- and definitely feel the difference. reasonstobecheerful.world/overlooked-h...

Someone shared this with me today -- and I am so happy to hear this reporting going more and more mainstream. Every American needs to hear this so they can put 2 and 2 together in terms of data privacy and surveillance. 💔🤍💙 www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2...

For f*ck's sake. 💔🤍💙 The last thing I want is this current crop of FBI leaders having one iota more of *anyone's* information.

My favorite local grocery store chain does this type of pricing. I hope the practice is banned. 💔🤍💙

Fascinating study for news geeks like me -- but also for readers who want to understand why a particular style of story grabs and holds their attention. ❤️🤍💙 www.poynter.org/reporting-ed...

💔🤍💙 Needless trauma on all sides. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

Amen!! Let's do better. Like immediately. ❤️🤍💙

Shoutout to my friend for her thoughtful approach to politics and Christianity and childbirth. ❤️🤍💙 open.substack.com/pub/maybegod...

We need more of this!! ❤️🤍💙

One thousand percent agree. Plus age verification is a privacy issue for the rest of us too. 💔🤍💙

A poem sent by a friend. It resonates based on my experience in Hawai'i. And everywhere in the U.S. 💔🤍💙 www.poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazi...

I know about kernza ❤️🤍💙 from craft beer industry publications. Will this news be covered by the local legacy media? Unlikely. But hope springs eternal (especially after a beer or two, haha!).

"In worrying that young people are disengaged from participating in civic society, adults may overlook both their own role in fostering engagement and the many ways young people are already contributing." (And the first comment over on FB bears this out, smh.) theconversation.com/teens-arent-... ❤️🤍💙

I wish the publication that recently rewrote *two* of my submissions with AI had been priced out too. What a sh*tshow that was. 💔🤍💙 Now I insist on reviewing every piece before it goes live ... so AI is costing me time and money because I have to guard against it (and the errors it introduces).

"ICE is shifting toward a quieter approach that relies more on local police and 287(g) agreements with sheriffs. ... 💔🤍💙 "But the question voters asked in February still stands: Is enforcement actually focused on threats? Or is it just less visible?" forumtogether.org/article/new-...

I remember the good old days when .gov sites were respected. 💔🤍💙 www.wired.com/story/maha-i...

As news consumers trend toward video, pieces like this one become all the more important. I hope respectfully done documentaries like this encourage sources to trust in credible journalists to tell their stories. Especially when they are difficult. 💔🤍💙 youtube.com/shorts/nXyfm...

I never watch TV news ... but I happened to hear 10 minutes' worth of a network morning show at a hotel breakfast on Friday. It made this summary of the news Americans are NOT hearing all the more apt. 💔🤍💙 youtu.be/dx1PtYtg5l0?...

💔🤍💙 Why are we letting this happen within our country? theconversation.com/when-immigra...

Levity. ❤️🤍💙

Makes me want to visit Toronto again. ❤️🤍❤️

How have we become so quick to dismiss proven science and instead jump into any stupid new social media baseless trend? 💔🤍💙 www.propublica.org/article/more...

💔🤍💙

As the chicken-parent of "spent hens" from an egg factory -- and as someone who has experienced life in another country -- I love this movie concept so much. What a novel approach to a heartbreaking topic. 💔 🤍💙 www.theguardian.com/film/2026/ma...
