@KarenLosAngeles@bestfoodalex@natalie_allison 🥹Fr Trump DHS official, Miles Taylor had to dumb down SB to a first grade level :
“This 50 memo that we’d normally give to any other president about what his options are is something Trump literally can't read. He doesn't read. So boil it down into a one-pager in his voice,"
Major Jason Watson answered questions before taking his stand on the Capitol steps yesterday. He risked everything to demonstrate his love for the country on its 250th birthday. #JasonWatson#DemsUnited
Mamdani: There is a term so often used to describe our nation and those who have shaped it: American exceptionalism.
American exceptionalism, the conventional wisdom tells us, makes our freedom a little more free, is how we dug the Erie Canal and irrigated the West, is why children in far away lands grow up dreaming of one day moving here.
And yet the irony is that the story of America has so often been written by those who were told by others with power and influence and wealth that they were anything but exceptional.
For generation after generation, we have been told that when the world has sent its people to our shores, it has not sent its best. It sent Puritans and Sikhs and Quakers and Muslims and Jewish people who were banished for praying the wrong way, worshipping the wrong Gods, angering the wrong people. It sent peasants and serfs from who were treated as less because they hardly owned clothes, let alone land. It sent immigrants for whom power was something someone else had.
We are told that America is exceptional because we are richer, stronger, more powerful than everyone else.
The truth, my friends, is that America is exceptional because here, nothing is fixed into place. The frontier may be closed, we may have walked on the moon, but the work of fulfilling the values first enshrined in the Declaration of Independence-that work endures, my friends, and it belongs to us all.
It belongs too to our newest Americans, those standing here with me today, all of whom were recently naturalized. Nearly a decade ago, I too felt what you feel— the joy of no longer being just a New Yorker, but an American too.
@Sammy_canada2@SpeQx That’s absurd. Canadian municipalities manage sanitation at public events and fairs so the attendants however piggish don’t have have to do the cleanup but if she wants to do it ,knock herself out .
Do elephants who need treatment recognise that we're trying to help?
Sometimes, yes! In July 2023, a bull elephant appeared at the Ithumba stockades with an arrow wound. He quickly disappeared back into the wilderness and then, days later, turned up again, this time in the company of ex-orphans Zurura and Kasigau. He proceeded to walk inside one of the stockades (almost unheard-of for a wild elephant), and patiently waited. He could not have made it more clear that he was asking for help!
While a treatment unfolded, ex-orphans Zurura and Kasigau stood stood sentry. Once the operation was complete, they stood by until the bull got back to his feet. Together, they walked back into the Tsavo wilderness.
One week later, the bull came by again, already healing. What we have learned from these moments is that elephants have an awe-inspiring intuition and capacity for trust in those who earn it. We are honoured that this bull came to us in his hour of need and thanks to our donors, we were able to answer the call, providing life-saving treatment on our very doorstep.
Elephants don't forget those that helped them. Donate and be part of a community they remember: https://t.co/NVpsbuFaAn
People are traveling, gathering together, barbecuing, celebrating the 250th anniversary of this nation in various ways. And then we have this…
An American service member using his right to free speech, guaranteed in our nation’s constitution. A right given to all of us every day. Regardless of your political affiliation, read or watch Major Jason Watson’s full statement. It’s powerful. He has served and is serving. He is speaking up and out, and for that he was arrested.
Free speech, freedom of religion, a free press, the freedom to vote for who you choose, the freedom to love who you choose. These are all things we celebrate on our nation’s birthday. They are what makes us a democracy, among many other things. So as you gather, as you grill, as you plan your day, think of Major Watson, think of the freedoms you hold dear, and don’t just celebrate them, but make sure generations to come will have these rights as well! 🇺🇸
Mississippi police shot and killed a 1-year-old child who was in the car with his mother.
Autopsy reports reveal the child was shot through the side of the car, contradicting officers' claims that the car was heading towards them.
