North Vietnam in 1965 did not have anything close to the current military capabilities of Iran. But they continued to fight for another decade until we finally had enough. They were fighting for their country, we were not. Just as we are not now.
This donkey remembered the girl who raised it years later, and the reunion is pure emotion. Donkeys never forget the people who cared for them.
Today ICE fatally shot a 26-year-old Colombian man in Biddeford, Maine. This is the 11th person they’ve murdered this year—that we know of. He did everything he was supposed to. He was authorized to work in the US. He served his community. ICE still murdered him in broad daylight. Abolish ICE.

Orange Turd in Oval Office violates the Constitution and multiple laws every day. His private military aka ICE kills innocent people with zero consequences. If it walks like a duck and talks like a dictator it can only be one thing
Resistance is an art form! Kevin Champeny's work celebrates the beauty of accumulation how countless small elements can create depth, movement, & meaning that no single piece could achieve alone. A reminder that the smallest details often carry the greatest impact. 🔥🔥💙 #pinks

Every day has moments worth recording, and today's sunset is one of them.
Right on the heels of the lightning-fast demise of an $1.8 billion 'anti-weaponization fund' (which was meant to give condolence payments to MAGA fans but got strangled in the crib), now this $1 billion 'White House private garden' has been ruthlessly shot down by its own people.😆😆Well done

If you’d told me on January 7th 2021 that everyone in this picture would be pardoned and be paid $1 million each for reparations, I’d have said you were insane. It turns out that it’s American voters that are insane.
Regardless of political stance, the health of a 79-year-old president who hardly exercises, eats McDonald's and drinks Diet Coke, has bruises on his hands that he has to cover with thick foundation, and often blinks for long periods during meetings is directly related to national security.

If the 2nd greatest English-language filmmaker of all time can cast a black woman as Helen of Troy, then surely Christopher Nolan can, as well.
The White House and Congress have epitomized…. Political weaponization that refers to the use of government institutions, laws, investigations, public messaging, or state power in a way intended to damage, silence, punish, or weaken political opponents rather than serve a neutral public purpose.

It's clear Boston gets more surplus value here. But when you go to the Franklin Park Zoo, all you see are people wearing Little Joe shirts. And that matters. You're talking about the face of the zoo here. The whole reason you buy a zoo is to have a primate like Little Joe representing your city.
