After Odell Beckham Jr. (@obj) publicly said he wanted a return to New York and encouraged a fan to start a petition, NYC content creator and lifelong Giants supporter @jojo_scarlotta6 did exactly that. He launched a campaign calling for OBJ’s return, writing that his 2019 departure “left a void in the hearts of many fans.”

Now, it’s official: the Giants have signed OBJ to a one-year deal, bringing the three-time Pro Bowler back to the franchise where he became a superstar. "Never give up on urself. Home Team i'm back…. Let's get itttt," Beckham wrote on Instagram following the signing.

Bruce Horne's family has farmed the same land in Northampton County, Pennsylvania, for nearly 200 years. Now, developers want to build a 1.2-gigawatt data center campus on 450 adjacent acres, but his mother never agreed to sell.

More than 63,000 people have signed a petition launched by Horne urging Congress to restrict data centers to industrially zoned land.

Horne says the issue is “not just about preserving our environment” but about “maintaining the very fabric of rural America.”

A Utah man is facing a felony charge after witnesses say he repeatedly slammed a cat into concrete in front of children.

According to police, the animal was picked up by the neck and thrown against the ground, a door, and concrete steps. Officers reported visible injuries, including bleeding skin and leg damage, and said the cat was struggling to breathe when they arrived. The man admitted to handling the cat roughly and was issued a summons at the scene.

The cat is still recovering.

A https://t.co/ZM9wf2HIuH petition is calling on prosecutors to pursue the maximum penalty under Utah law, arguing the charge should be treated as a case of extreme animal cruelty.

Jonathan Muir Burgos is 16 years old and has been locked in a Cuban maximum security adult prison since March after joining anti-government protests over prolonged power outages in his city. He was charged with "sabotage," a crime that could keep him in prison for decades.

Now, his parents say he has lost weight and has not received medication for a serious skin disease. Every time he calls home, he asks his mother, "Mom, how long am I going to be here?" A petition launched by @_gabyblanco demands his immediate release.

A crime reporter who survived a violent assault in D.C. discovered her own case was never counted in the city's official statistics.

Royal Caribbean wants to build “Perfect Day Mexico,” a massive water park on Mexico’s Caribbean coast that could bring up to 20,000 passengers a day to the small fishing village of Mahahual.

The project would span more than 260 acres along the Mesoamerican Reef, the second largest coral reef system in the world.

More than 3.7 million people have signed a petition calling for the project to be stopped, warning it could put protected mangroves, coral reefs, sea turtle nesting grounds, and fragile marine ecosystems at risk. The petition also calls for a full environmental review and a broader public debate about the future of tourism development in Mexico. This week, Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum said she would fight to protect the reef.

The Senate voted unanimously Thursday to withhold senators' pay during government shutdowns.

The resolution, introduced by Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., directs the Secretary of the Senate to hold back senators' salaries for the length of any future shutdown. Senators would still collect full back pay once shutdowns end. The measure applies only to senators, not House members, and takes effect after the 2026 midterms.

In response to the last two shutdowns, more than 150,000 people have signed a petition arguing Congress shouldn't get paid when over 1.5 million civilian federal employees can't.

Tennessee could soon allow foster children who need extra supervision to be placed in juvenile detention centers. A new petition is urging Gov. Bill Lee to stop SB1868—already passed by both the House and Senate—from becoming law.

Petition starter and foster care survivor Robert Stein is calling on the governor to reject the bill, warning that it treats trauma like a crime instead of addressing the support these children need.

After being assaulted in Washington D.C., journalist @Anna_Giaritelli went looking for her own incident in police crime data and found it wasn't there.

Her attacker went to federal prison, yet her case was excluded from official statistics. An investigation into D.C. Metro Police found that 13 staffers had manipulated crime data and faced termination proceedings.

Now Anna has launched a petition calling on leaders in major U.S. cities to report crime figures transparently, so victims' experiences are counted, not erased.

A bridge designed to help mountain lions and other wildlife cross California's 101 freeway was originally expected to be mostly privately funded. The total cost of the project, which is still unfinished, has since grown to $114M, with the public now "on the hook for a large portion of it," according to a statement on the Wallis Annenberg Bridge Crossing website.

"We are not ATMs. We are citizens. And we deserve to know where our money went," says petition starter Aaron Bergh. Bergh, a California resident, has launched a petition calling for a full independent audit of every dollar and contract spent on the project before more public funds are released.

The petition is at https://t.co/v6BG1lUO8i.

Over 90,000 fans are calling on Paramount to give "The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender" a theatrical release.

The first-ever animated feature from the Nickelodeon franchise was pulled from Paramount's theatrical slate last December and leaked online earlier this month.

The leak has led fans to continue to push back on the decision, arguing a theatrical release would honor both the franchise's legacy and the passion of its creators.

Appie, a four-year-old Belgian Malinois with the Fort Lauderdale Police Department, was shot while chasing a suspect. He broke his arm and needed five hours of surgery.

A https://t.co/ZM9wf2HIuH petition is calling on the Fort Lauderdale Police Department to retire Appie, arguing he cannot consent to the risks of returning to duty and urging a shift toward technology like drones and robots instead of risking the lives of more dogs.

Correction: There’s a typo in the video—“direclty” should read “directly.” To clarify, President Trump responded directly to Kimmel’s comments.

[Change.org @Change]

Last week, Jimmy Kimmel joked during his Thursday night monologue that Melania Trump had "a glow like an expectant widow." The joke came just days before a gunman attempted to breach security at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, where President Trump was in attendance.

Both President Trump and Melania have responded directly to Kimmel's comments, with Trump calling the joke "a despicable call to violence."

Now, a petition is calling on ABC and Disney to remove Kimmel, or publicly explain why they won't.
