You might of course note the old German cathedral in the photo. Beautifully restored by German contributions. There you find also the tomb of the philosopher Immanuel Kant.

I don’t care how you feel about Immigration,but you should care about the innocent children that are having their lives turned upside down and will likely be traumatized for life. They did nothing wrong and like most they were born here in the United States of America.

Climate change is canceling July 4 celebrations.

Philadelphia, the birthplace of American independence, just called off its 250th birthday parade because it's too hot to march. Yesterday tied Philadelphia's all-time record of 103°F and with humidity, it feels like 118°F there right now, according to AccuWeather.

First, organizers shortened the route; then they moved up the start time before finally sending out the notice overnight. (Floats alone were allowed to drive down the street, and Historic District venues have stepped up and are hosting as many events indoors as they can.)

In DC, the Great American State Fair has closed until 5pm due to extreme heat.

Heat waves aren't new. But I'm a climate scientist, and I can tell you heat waves like this are virtually impossible without fossil fuel pollution.

Not only that, but when extreme weather hits, research shows that connecting it to climate change helps people understand why it matters.

And you know who the most trusted people to do that are? Not scientists. You! Yes, people we know are the most effective messengers to have these conversations.

So if you're worried about what's happening and how extreme heat puts us at risk -- talk about it!

By defending themselves, Ukraine chose war. By attacking them, Russia chose peace.

Chris Cuomo (of all people) just effortlessly unmasked Tucker Carlson as a Russian propagandist.

Cuomo: “I'm a journalist. I'm not allowed into Russia. Why are you allowed in?”

Just watch how Tucker squirms.

It started in the Baltic Sea.
Task Force X-Baltic became the model for how @NATO_ACT turns experimentation into operational advantage.
Ahead of the #NATOSummit in Ankara, that model is scaling: TFX-Arctic in the High North, TFX-Central Mediterranean spanning all five domains on the Southern Flank.
Scale what works. 🦾

Quote: "This is how USAID spent your tax dollars"

I think people have lost the will to try fact-check this guy due to the volume of lies he spreads.

Also it's actually pretty difficult with this image and quite time consuming.

It just happens I had nothing better to do. /1

Karl: Republicans are going to make you the poster child for the Democratic Party.

Mamdani: Let them. We don’t have to ask ourselves what life looks like if a socialist wins. I won last November, and over the course of these last six months, what we’ve delivered for working people are the very things we were told were impossible.

We’ve delivered free child care for two-year-olds for the first time in New York City history. We’ve delivered tens of millions of dollars back to tenants who were taken advantage of by bad landlords. We’ve delivered 165,000 potholes being paved. And we’ve done all of these things while also delivering the lowest recorded crime in our city’s history.

That’s what it looks like to have democratic socialism. And what you’re seeing is that New Yorkers experienced this for six months and made the decision that they wanted to see more of it on the national stage as well.

Here is the headline, “repeat genocide claim.”

How many reports, international institutions, and human rights groups is enough? How much evidence will it take for @AP to call it what it is, instead of casting doubt and lending legitimacy to genocide denial?

🚨BREAKING: Another ICE agent has been caught on video illegally pointing a firearm at a U.S. citizen, in Lemonwood, California.

In the video, an unmarked ICE vehicle is stopped in the middle of the road… no vehicles are in front of it, and nothing is preventing them from driving forward.

Instead of continuing to drive down the road, the ICE agent is blocking a pickup truck from turning, while pointing a gun, out their window, directly at the driver of that truck.

The truck backs up, but the agent still keeps the firearm pointed at the driver.

Only AFTER people begin honking their horns does the agent lower their weapon, and drive away.

The law states that pointing a firearm at someone is considered a serious threat of deadly force. It is only justified when an officer has an objectively reasonable belief that they are facing an immediate threat of death, or serious bodily harm.

It is not legally allowed to be used to control traffic, and it is not legally allowed to be used as intimidation.

And that’s exactly why this video should be alarming to you.

The agent is not boxed in… nothing is preventing them from driving down the street.

Meanwhile, the agent is the one preventing the truck from continuing its turn. And they are doing so while pointing a gun at the driver.

So, the question becomes…

What immediate threat justified the ICE agent to stop their car, and point a firearm at a U.S. citizen?

Because we are seeing a growing pattern, of publicly documented incidents, where ICE agents point firearms at legal observers, journalists, and bystanders during enforcement encounters… when they are not facing an immediate threat of death.

That is not how public safety works.

Pointing a firearm at someone is one of the most serious things an officer can do, because it instantly escalates an encounter into a potential deadly force situation.

And that is exactly why the law is supposed to restrict it.

Every unnecessary drawn gun increases the risk of a wrong judgment, and a fatal mistake.

And when there is no accountability, for when that line gets crossed, drawing a gun because the normal for every situation.

And when it becomes normal, more people’s lives are put in danger.
