1. Dr. Jane Goodall 1934 - 2025
In 1962, a very young woman named Jane Goodall stepped into the African forest.
What she would discover shattered our understanding of the place of human beings in the world.
She revealed that chimpanzees use tools, form bonds, and experience emotions.

Less than 36 hours away from a shutdown, Republicans chose to fly to North Carolina instead of to DC to do their jobs. This field hearing is just another example of them exploiting tragedy to score political points.

You know that “red wave” map Republicans love to trot out to prove how conservative the U.S. supposedly is? Well, now Trump is weaponizing the data behind it as his latest evidence of having won a so-called "landslide." But the thing is, the actual data tells a far different story.

Colombian President Gustavo Petro was spot on at the United Nations.
He called Trump out in front of everyone.
I feel a sense of relief there are world leaders unafraid to fight the fascist leadership in the current administration.

When you witness harassment in public, do you tend to freeze? Are you worried you're going to make it worse? Are you scared you'll be targeted? Do you tend to overreact and unintentionally escalate things?
You're not alone.

American corporations are on pace to spend $1.1 trillion on stock buybacks in 2025, an all-time high.
Buybacks don't create more jobs, increase wages, or grow the economy — but they do help juice CEO pay that's often tied to stock performance.
Nothing trickles down to workers.

“IDF THREAT: IF JOURNALISTS PHOTOGRAPH GAZA, WE WILL STARVE GAZA”
Journalists covering the aid air drops say they have been warned by Israel not to film Gaza from the air or the air drops will stop. (Do they not want us to see the scale of the damage?)
