Three little kids and a teacher were shot and killed at their school today in Bend, Oregon. Two more were injured. Our hearts are broken and we’re angry. It’s disgraceful that extremists keep blocking critical, lifesaving laws while kids die in their classrooms. America can do better. It must.

“We cannot keep accepting this as a fact of life,” said Gabby Giffords. “We cannot keep asking our children to be brave enough to survive school shootings. Our leaders must be brave enough to stop them.”

Zelensky smiled when asked by Sky News whether Trump was trying to make him a “scapegoat” for problems including low ratings, high diesel prices and the war in the Middle East. Zelenskyy initially stayed silent, then said: “That is my answer.” #Ukraine

Carnival #ScbwiArtober2026 #NatureArt #EphemeralArt Once the kids of Outside Play Club created their own carnival in the woods, complete with games and a bouncy ride on a fallen branch.

Nature art depicting two children who I’ve created their own carnival in the woods. One child is bouncing on a fallen tree branch. Another child is standing next to a carnival game. The art was made on a stump in the woods using natural materials found loose along the trail.

the people responding to this defensively are nuts. i’m talking about a critical mass of democrats to make it clear that they’ll put themselves on the line to protect congresswoman omar. im glad there have been some strongly worded statements but there needs to be action.

SCBWI Artober, prompt 11: Crusty The witch's bakery. Freshly baked and a little passive aggressive. #scbwiArtober2026 #artober #kidlitart

A green-skinned witch in a purple hat stands behind a bakery counter presenting a glowing pie with fangs. Grumpy-faced loaves and baguettes glare from the shelves, a skull muffin sits in the corner and a frosted cake looks unimpressed.
