Teddy bear #sunflowers are blooming. DYK that sunflowers got their name because they face the sun? Their scientific name is helianthus. The Greek word for ‘sun’ is ‘helios’ and ‘flower’ is 'anthus'.

We are witnessing the moral moment:
Americans: #HandsOff
Canadians: #ElbowsUp
Standing up for democracy, intellectual freedom, integrity of law, research, science, health care, education, the arts, social security, media.
And on guard for Canadian sovereignty. 🇨🇦
Hope on both sides of the border

Sojourner Truth (1797-1883), abolitionist, women's rights advocate, who chose to be photographed with her knitting. As an enslaved person, she had knitted/spun endlessly and when free later in life, she taught knitting to former enslaved women aiding self-sufficiency #womensart

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.
This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.
Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.
And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

The U.S. Army and Defense Department removed a mention of the Navajo code talkers from its website.
They are a group of Navajo U.S. marines who were essential during the Second World War for developing a code using their native language.
