Old Yankee crone...never voted GOP in my life. Fantasy job: being a raptor that chews up ice (😉), the birds, not the sports team.

“The Church is for everyone,” Pope Francis told worshippers at the Vatican in 2013. On Sunday, minutes before announcing his lung surgery, Pope Leo XIV preached on the same theme: “When faced with rejection, the king does not call off the wedding or cancel the celebrations.”

Bad and Good Alike, Everyone Is Called to the Party

Minutes before announcing his lung surgery, Pope Leo XIV preached on a king who refuses to cancel the wedding. In 2013, Francis warned against Christians who never leave the lobby.

A win! A federal judge has put the brakes on the Trump regime’s taxpayer-funded TV ad campaign. The order blocks further spending on the challenged ads and requires scheduled airings to be canceled including tonight’s. The administration has 24 hours to confirm compliance with the court.

If Bitchass Bernie and Marxist MAGA think that all of trumps poor southern MAGA voters need is a better economic message and that white supremacy isn’t a voting factor then how do they explain that the Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act were the flashpoints to turn Dixiecrats republican?

"Local media described the protest as numbering in the thousands. Spectrum News reported that demonstrators filled Clinton Square before marching toward Trump’s event, while organizers said their message was simple: Trump and his politics were not welcome in Central New York."

Trump’s Syracuse Motorcade Meets a Wall of Fury as Thousands Flood the Streets: ‘You’re Not Welcome Here’

I feel deep, deep gratitude toward every single person who takes a couple hours out of their busy lives to be a part of this movement to get money out of politics, put money in pockets, and pass Medicare for All.

The planet isn't "dying" of natural causes. Forests don't just disappear. They are logged. Oceans don't just choke. They are polluted. Rivers don't just dry up. They are diverted. This is not a tragedy. It's ecocide. And ecocide should be a crime. #StopEcocide

Annie Andrews: "I do not support the war in Iran…My opponent is the only one on this stage who had the opportunity to vote to end the war, but three times in a row she voted to continue it…Why would we hand Darline Graham a full term in the U.S. Senate? She is unserious and she is unqualified."

🔭 Astronomer, astrophysicist & explorer Dr. Merieme Chadid: one of the world's first scientists to establish a major astronomical observatory in Antarctica. She set up the specialized automated telescopes & tested the optical turbulence of the atmosphere.🧵 She was born #OTD in 1969. #WomenInSTEM

A color photograph of Moroccan-French astronomer and astrophysicist Dr. Merieme Chadid (born 1969), celebrated as a pioneering explorer who established early automated telescopes in Antarctica. Caught in a candid and joyful moment, she is positioned slightly off-center, facing toward the right side of the frame with a radiant, wide smile that showcases her bright eyes. Her dark hair is pulled back neatly into a ponytail, emphasizing her facial expression. She wears a structured, textured charcoal-gray blazer over a white blouse featuring a vibrant, multicolored floral or abstract print along the neckline. Adorning her neck is a distinctive statement necklace consisting of a large, circular, engraved silver pendant suspended from a thin red cord. The background is a soft, out-of-focus interior wall with neutral, warm beige tones, creating a shallow depth of field that keeps the focus entirely on her. The overall mood is warm, intellectual, and proud, embodying the triumphant spirit of a groundbreaking scientist who shattered cultural and geographic barriers in the global astrophysics community.An historic, on-site photograph of Dr. Merieme Chadid conducting polar research during her groundbreaking 2005–2006 astronomical expedition at the Concordia Research Station in Antarctica. Positioned in the center of the frame, Dr. Chadid smiles warmly at the camera, bundled in specialized extreme-cold gear including a heavy royal blue parka with a high collar, black insulated gloves, and a plush black fur hat framing her dark, curly hair. In the immediate foreground on the left stands a large, white, high-precision automated telescope mount labeled "Astro-Physics," which she touches gently with her gloved hand. In the background, a second telescope sits mounted on a sturdy wooden tripod behind a safety netting enclosure, set against a vast, flat expanse of blinding white Antarctic ice that stretches to a crisp, cloudless blue horizon. The crisp daytime composition uses natural polar sunlight to highlight the stark, freezing conditions. The mood is adventurous and triumphant, capturing a historic milestone for women in STEM as the first astronomer to install a major dark-sky observatory in the extreme heart of the Antarctic plateau.
