“Now I suppose it is too much to hope that the American male of the species, notoriously stubborn and boastful, will in 2026 attend to the guidance of Maya Angelou, hearken to the warning of Ellie Sattler, or listen to the remonstrance of Liz Cheney.”

They have recognized the president’s toxicity from the jump. It’s time men start listening to them.

One of the most fascinating facts about the ocean, is that there are whales alive today who were born before Moby Dick was written.
Some of the bowhead whales in the icy waters off of Alaska today are over 200 years old.

Muting a Black woman to claim the vote was unanimous is so incredibly on the nose
The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

It's surprising that you, as Americans, elected him as President not just once, but twice, especially considering the challenges faced during his first term. This situation highlights the vulnerability many individuals have to misinformation.

Real heroes don’t wear capes: they do what is needed in the moment without question.🙏🏼Here’s to you Ahmed, may you be the inspiration for all of us to do what needs to be done.🥂
Ahmed al Ahmed, the man who tackled one of the Bondi killers, became an Australian citizen 3 years ago.

His deed was "his way of conveying his gratitude for staying in Australia, for being granted citizenship."

He took 5 bullets, and fears he'll lose his left arm.
