BREAKING: Two people have climbed to the top of the Empire State Building in New York City, holding a banner from the skyscraper's antenna reading, "When the power of love beats the love of power, the world knows peace."
As of now it's unclear how the pair reached the top of the building as police work to get them down from the spire, 1,454 feet above the ground.
If you want to know why it’s 100+ degrees everywhere. WAR. BOMBS. CHEMICAL AGENTS. FIRES. OIL LEAKS. TOXINS IN THE WATER. DEFORESTATION. REMOVAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONS.
MAN. GREED. IGNORANCE.
Notice how the people who deny global warming are those who are creating it for greed?

Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson on the November 2026 midterm elections:
“If we were to lose the midterms, these Democrats will turn every committee of Congress into an investigative body. They’ll go after the president's family, the cabinet, his donors, friends, half of you in this room will be targeted.”

On June 19, 1865, African American communities in Galveston, Texas, finally learned of their freedom from slavery — two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation took effect.
For 161 years, Juneteenth has been a day of remembrance for the freedom that was delayed. It is also a celebration of the joy and resilience that flourished despite that delay.
The contributions of African Americans, whose struggle for freedom shaped our nation, are immeasurable. Yet too many Black families continue to bear the brunt of an affordability crisis that has pushed them out of the neighborhoods and communities they've built.
True freedom has a tangible impact on daily life: the ability to afford housing, earn a living wage, put food on the table, support a family, and create a future for generations to come.
As we celebrate today, we must recommit ourselves to ensuring this freedom is fully realized.
Happy Juneteenth, New York City.
