Over 140 women in Indonesia have united to protect Borneo’s forests from fire. They call themselves “The Power of Mama.” They patrol their communities, fight fires, and protect the forests for future generations. They’re not waiting for someone else to save their home. 🌳 #SheShed #VivaHerAlliance

Zelenskyy’s answer to the Trump scapegoat question was a smile. Asked whether Trump was using him as a scapegoat for his own political problems ahead of the midterms, Zelenskyy simply smiled: “This is my answer.” Hard to imagine a better answer.

The revelation brings to question as to whether Aoki's allyship with Blacks and other marginalized groups was genuine. While alive, Aoki had denied being an informant. He lied. Sadly, this diminished his legacy. #KeepItWoke #DedicatedToTam✡️🕊 www.police1.com/federal-law-...
