Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) pleaded with National Guard troops not to use their weapons against protesters.

Growing season in many neighborhoods brings an onslaught of lawnmowers, leaf blowers and other power tools. The noise is disruptive for humans, but even more for wildlife. This may seem like a losing battle in modern society, but there are steps we can take to help.

cats don't obey in advance and no one else should, either

Bitch-ass

We can judge our progress by the courage of our questions and the depth of our answers, our willingness to embrace what is true rather than what feels good.

The Polish foreign minister, a writer and journalist who covered the Soviet war in Afghanistan in the 1980s, clearly knows a thing or two about a patiently-timed response.

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

This might be the absolute greatest reply we have ever received. Thank you, Cookie Monster 📕🍪💙

Margaret Brennan totally exposes FDA Commissioner Makary for making it up as he goes and making conflicting recommendations in order to cast doubt on covid vaccines. He's so terrible during this interview that Brennan is left shaking her head as she wraps it up.

Here’s a bunch of weird and interesting stories I found from the 1930s Morning File by @timbousquet.bsky.social

I asked a trusted friend for a recommendation—and, y’all, after that single meal, I’m a convert. I’m ready to proclaim, in front of God and the whole internet, that there’s only one wiener worth devouring this summer.

love that the diet section of "eastern gray squirrel" has this extensive image gallery

My goal has been to make Illinois the best state to raise a family — that starts with kids having access to what they need so they can focus on learning and growing.   Illinois was among the first states to implement SUN Bucks, and this year is no exception.

Slovenia's President, Nataša Pirc Musar, "We are witnessing a genocide" "We are witnessing it, watching it, and we remain quiet" *very long clap followed by a standing ovation* "The inhumane treatment of civilians is something the international community should not look away from"

Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.

HASSAN: What is habeas corpus? NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country HASSAN: That's incorrect

There is a reason why working families are falling further and further behind. The cost of housing, health care and other basic necessities are rising much faster than wages. Learn about an excellent study from the Ludwig Institute.

66,000 tons of food are rotting away in USAID warehouses thanks to Trump and DOGE. That's enough food to feed more than a million people in the world's poorest countries for three months — including over 480,000 kids. In what world is starving children "efficient"?

Good morning !

Just reposting this which I think is the most gorgeous thing I have seen in my career - a critically endangered orange-bellied parrot feeding on a carpet of daisies after an ecological burn. This was the first time they’d had the chance to feed naturally in 15y and was wonderful to witness 😭😭😭🧡🧡🧡🧡

Illinoisans deserve dignity, privacy, and the freedom to live without fear of surveillance or discrimination. I'm issuing an Executive Order to safeguard the rights of those with autism in our state as Trump's administration threatens those very freedoms.
