"This is the special commission Mike Luckovich did when Congressman Lewis graciously - as always - allowed Better Georgia to honor him with a comedy roast in 2017. This was perfect then, and now." John Lewis was an amazing and courageous man, our country lost a great leader when he passed away. .

ICE shot and murdered Lorenzo Salgado Araujo (52). He spent 35 years as an honest, tax paying neighbor with 3 kids, all US citizens. He worked hard to get his citizenship. And ICE killed him before he could, then confirmed he was not even their intended target. 1/3

ICE claims that Araujo drove into one of their SUVs with his van and then tried to run over an agent. There were no marks on the van and KHOU11's Jeremy Rogalski found surveillance footage showing ICE chasing Araujo and cutting him off. Renee Good all over again.

Listening to Classic FM at work and a delivery driver brings a parcel. Him: "I don't know how you can listen to that crap" Me: "You don't need to. You're not staying" You don't like something? Fine, but why piss on everybody elses parade.

President of MIT not mincing words today in @statnews.com www.statnews.com/2026/05/27/s...
So let me say it as clearly as I can: Without basic scientific research, supported by the kind of farsighted public investment that allows large-scale, undirected, curiosity-driven inquiry, the scientific pipeline will run dry.
In daily life, people may not feel the effects right away, or even in 10 years. But we will feel it. And when someone we love needs therapies that could have emerged but didn't or when other countries now
investing in science can launch new science-based industries or run their societies on vast resources of fusion energy or reap the benefits of quantum computing power or advanced medical breakthroughs, America will wish it sustained its leadership in scientific research here and now.
Sally Kornbluth is the president of MIT.

Born in fire, battered by the wreckage of colliding worlds, covered for eons in magma, wracked by volcanoes, frozen and thawed again and again, and after everything went just wrong and right enough, here it is: our home. The rarest gift in the known universe. Happy Earth Day.

Congrats on “opening” a strait that was open six weeks ago, and all it cost was at least 13 dead service members, thousands of dead Iranian civilians, tens of billions in taxpayer dollars, our loss in global standing, and the Iranian regime’s increase in power. Phenomenal work.

ICE is not about immigration. ICE is about normalizing a paramilitary force on peaceful streets. Abolish ICE.

Can you even imagine what we could accomplish, all nations, scientists, engineers, doctors, everyone working together for the betterment of humanity and the only planet we have? Religion, nationality, color, gender all become secondary to preserving life and protecting one another. Just imagine.

A son of sharecroppers, a Freedom Rider, a moral force in Congress, John Lewis taught us that democracy is not a state, it is an act. When we see injustice, we do not look away. We get in good trouble. And we build bridges despite adversity. Happy Heavenly Birthday, Congressman.

When the last carols have been sung, the work of Christmas begins. To ensure inclusion for the marginalised. To create liberty to the oppressed. To bring hope to the forgotten. To welcome the refugee. To seek justice for all. That’s the joy and the challenge of 2026!!

It's increasingly clear that the president lives in a constructed bubble of unreality designed by aides who are manipulating him in order to take control of US policy. Seems like an important story - wish media would cover it.

It will always baffle me how easily people will believe that the poor, the sick, the marginalized, and the immigrant are the cause for all their problems, rather than the people in the most powerful positions in their country who refuse to fix problems and exploit them instead.
