Carlos Alcaraz -- Campeón en Roland Garros!

All of this is over a silhouette of the Parisian skyline, most notably the Eiffel Tower. In the lower image, Carlos is fist pumping and shouting after winning a point. The background is the red clay of this clay court Grand Slam.

Way to go, Coco!!!! Champion at Roland Garros/French Open.
Coco Gauff fist pumping towards the camera during the championship match at Roland Garros/French Open today. Roland-Garros Women's Singles: Final There is a chart layout without borders. Names in first column: C. Gauff (2) A. Sabalenka (1) Reading across, you can see the number of games each player won in each set. When a player won the set, their game number is white on red. When a player lost a set, the number is white, but does not have a background. Instead, it is contrasted against items in the photo (e.g., Coco's dress). Coco lost the first set 6-7, won the second set 6-2, and won the third set 6-4.

These two appeared together on my feed:
Paraphrase of Post 1: Response to someone asking about fun sarcastically explaining that "having fun" is not a priority while democracy burns. Post 2 by Kelly Hayes: Thinking about interviewing Monica Cosby for Let This Radicalize You and how she explained that in prison she and her friends celebrated every holiday and even made up holidays because under soul crushing conditions, conjuring up joy is survival work.

The image is from Schoolhouse Rock, from the episode "I'm just a bill on Capitol Hill," which was animation with a song explaining how bills get passed in the U.S. The cartoon character, Bill, is a scroll with a button that has red white and blie stripes, says "bill." A young boy is sitting next to him on the steps to the Capitol building in Washington D.C. The caption reads, "There's no song to explain this shit."

WEP is the reason many retired educators cannot collect social security benefits (or collect reduced benefits)--including spousal benefits.
The repeal had bipartisan support in the House. Please reach out to your senators (link with letter) to pass now. #EduSky

His wife is an educator I have worked closely with and is very good friends with a good friend of mine. 💔💔💔
Statement from his daughter:
My family and I are deeply moved by the outpouring of support and the countless messages we've received from family, friends, and strangers from around the world honoring my father's life. On Tuesday, October 1st, at 9:30 a.m., my father, Hajj Kamel Ahmad Jawad, returned to his Lord after being hot by an Israeli airstrike while trying to save innocent lives in his hometown of Nabatieh, Lebanon. People from across the globe have reached out to me and my family to send their condolences and share stories about how special a human he was. Additionally we've been approached by numerous news outlets and public figures seeking our comments. My father's story is not just about him; it's about a man who stood with the oppressed and dedicated his life to uplifting others. As my family grieves this significant loss, we ask for privacy. For now, we are declining media interviews, and I will share my only public remarks at his funeral service. (Alt text continued in comments)
