On this day in 1944, the Gestapo found Anne Frank and her family in their Secret Annex. Her diary stands as a warning against hatred and persecution. Eighty years later, we should recognize the warning signs before it’s too late.🙂↕️

Chris Murphy: He doesn't care anymore. It's just non-stop, in-your-face corruption. The latest? If you pay Trump $100,000 a month, he will give you advance White House announcements on economic and trade policy. An insider trading subscription service. People will go to jail for this.
And now, a little Vivaldi. Michel Tirabosco, a renowned pan flute player, collaborating with Raphaël Froissart. He is a professor at the Geneva Conservatory. Born with physical differences, he began playing the pan flute at 7 and has achieved international recognition for his skill. #streetmusic

"[ICE] is not law enforcement. [It] is a militia with a badge." - David Myers, retired commander, San Diego Sheriff's Office
I'm a former cop. ICE isn't law enforcement, it's a militia.
ICE shootings in Houston and in Biddeford, Maine, are the predictable output of a federal agency that lacks training, oversight and a settled mission.

Holy shit, we're actually getting there. "UCLA researchers develop low-cost blood test to detect multiple cancers and other diseases from a single sample [—] In tests, MethylScan detected about 63% of cancers across all stages and roughly 55% of early-stage cancers." (from April) #ShareGoodNewsToo
UCLA researchers develop low-cost blood test to detect multiple cancers and other diseases from a single sample
The test could offer a more affordable approach to early disease detection.

Rest in peace to one of cinema’s most outstanding artists; the legendary actor Sam Neill (1947–2026)
This is Cookie. She's a big proponent of reusable shopping bags. Partly for the environment, but mostly for naps. 12/10 (TT: all.themunchies)
Arrogance is assuming nature is a foe to be battled, rather than the very system that gives us life. You cannot win a war against the life-support system you depend on. It’s time to shift from conquering nature to collaborating with it. 🌿 #EcologicalLiteracy #Biophilia
RIP Randolph Mantooth. I was a HUGE fan of "Emergency!" Then in 2002, our neighbor at our 1st house, in Hollywoodland, was... Randy! I dogsat his dog Dodger, he helped me landscape, and we hosted him & his wife Kristen on BBQ nights. A true mensch, even kinder than "John Gage."
Platner is done. Time to gray rock him. Leave him in the dustbin of history and move forward to support whomever Maine chooses to unseat Susan Collins!
Mamdani got into office and instantly: • Froze rent for 2 million New Yorkers • Cut subway fares in half for low-income riders • Fully funded NYC parks • Added $680M for public schools • Launched free child care for 2-year-olds If establishment politicians actually wanted to help you, they could.
For 90% of the game, Haaland just lurks around. He hardly even pays attention to the ball. But then - out of a sudden - at the exact right moment, he awakens, scores a historic goal, and immediately goes back to lurking around. He cannot be replicated.
“Socialist,” “communist,” and “Marxist” are not interchangeable.
RESPECT Every politician should be doing this. Mayor Coffman has spent every Friday night since February sleeping at Aurora, Colorado’s homeless center, serving breakfast in the morning, and learning firsthand what works and what doesn’t.
Absolutely insane that Cape Verde — a country of 500,000 — played Spain, Uruguay and Argentina…and lost to none of them in regulation. Easily one of the greatest performances in World Cup history.
ZELENSKYY: Russia attacks in a completely different way. It does so consistently, systematically, and insanely, waging war specifically against people, against life, in a way intended to cause more pain. The world sees this. The world must not stand aside.
