This is deeply troubling.
I hope New York will step away from this move!
I wrote about the push to eliminate the word “mother” and mother-related terminology in law and policies; how it is linked to the devaluation of motherhood and women overall.
I will be presenting this report on “violence against mothers” to the UN Human Rights Council in a few weeks.
What we make and who we are is inextricably connected to our rich history.
And if you destroy that history and the idea of higher power, you destroy a part of each and everyone of us.
You destroy our moorings and our grounding. that’s why I sculpted the national World War I Memorial. To fight the destroyers!
This lovely girl was followed while on a run with her dog.
She sits down at a restaurant for breakfast after her run and realized the same guy she saw on the trail is sitting now diagonally from her taking pictures, and video of her . From here she does something very smart . Her story is chilling and eye opening.
Dear @WhiteHouse, my name is Rodney Smith Jr., founder of Raising Men & Women Lawn Care Service in Huntsville, Alabama. Through our 50 Yard Challenge, over 6,000 kids across the country have signed up to mow free lawns for the elderly, disabled, veterans, active-duty military, first responders, and single parents. With America celebrating its 250th birthday this year and me also being born on July 4th, I wanted to humbly ask if a few kids from our program and myself could travel to Washington, D.C. to help mow the White House lawn for this historic celebration.
More than anything, I want these kids to see how a simple act of service something as ordinary as mowing a lawn for someone in need can lead to extraordinary places. What better lesson in community service than showing them that helping others can take them all the way to our nation’s capital? I’d also love to bring my American flag-themed mower in hopes that the President might sign it, so I can later auction it off and donate 100% of the proceeds to a nonprofit supporting veterans. It would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to highlight the importance of service, patriotism, and the impact young people can have when they choose to make a difference. 🇺🇸
Those who choose abortion for disabled children are effectively betting on no adverse health situations in the future. But every one of us is a single accident, illness, or diagnosis away from a radically altered life.
Physical or mental impairments do not make a life less valuable. They do not diminish the worth of a person after birth, and they should not determine whether someone is allowed to be born in the first place.
Life is fragile, uncertain, and difficult. We do not celebrate life because it is perfect. We celebrate it because human worth is not contingent on health, ability, youth, or circumstance. It is inherent.
@DocPriyamMD Thank you so much for this post. I was diagnosed with bacterial pneumonia on Mother’s Day, and I have a persistent productive cough. I should probably stop taking the 200mg Benzonatate cough suppressant. It’s clearly counterproductive.
The reason we think dandelions are weeds is because of a 1950s marketing campaign.
Dandelions, native to Europe and Asia, were brought to North America in the 1600s by European colonists who grew them deliberately.
Every part is edible. The leaves are a salad green, the flowers were made into wine, and the roots were roasted as a coffee substitute and used medicinally for liver and kidney conditions for thousands of years. They were a kitchen-garden staple well into the 1800s.
The shift happened after World War II, when 2,4-D (originally developed for chemical warfare research) was approved as a residential herbicide. Companies like Scotts built the modern lawn-care industry around the idea that a perfect green lawn meant zero broadleaf plants.
Dandelions, being bright yellow and resistant to mowing, became a visible enemy, and the campaign worked. By the 1970s, "dandelion-free" was synonymous with "well-kept."
They aren't native, but they aren't doing significant ecological harm either. The herbicides used to kill them, on the other hand, kill bees, contaminate groundwater, and have been linked to non-Hodgkin lymphoma in humans.
If you hate dandelions, it's most likely due to a marketing campaign that ran before you were born.

When I was Muslim, I used to ask Christians:
“If Jesus was really God, why did He eat, sleep, and bleed like us?”
And honestly, I used to ask it with pride like it was some unbeatable argument.
But later I realized something:
That question was not exposing Christianity.
It was exposing my misunderstanding of what kind of God Jesus claimed to be.
Because the real question is not:
“Why would God become weak?”
The real question is:
“What kind of God would willingly step into human suffering at all?”
Islam taught me about a God who was distant and untouchable.
But Christianity introduced me to a God who stepped into hunger, exhaustion, grief, pain, betrayal, blood, and suffering with us.
And suddenly His humanity stopped feeling like weakness to me.
It became proof of love.
If Jesus ate, it means He came close enough to experience hunger beside us.
If He slept, it means He embraced the exhaustion we carry.
If He bled, it means He did not stand above suffering watching us from a distance.
He entered it Himself.
Philippians 2 says Christ emptied Himself and took on flesh.
Not because He stopped being God, but because He wanted humanity to finally see what God is actually like.
And it turns out God is willing to suffer for the people He loves.
That changed everything for me.
Because every other religion demanded sacrifice from humanity.
Jesus became the sacrifice Himself.
And no prophet in history ever claimed that.
⚠️ As soon as the regime forces notice people filming from apartments, they shoot directly into the homes.
Two incredibly brave young women secretly keep filming while crying and praying desperately:
“Please God… please, please let them live!”
They watch in horror as a wounded man is carried away most likely to be executed.
The courage of these girls is unbelievable.
The world must see this.

When the figure of 40,000 dead came out, the international community rejected our reality. Their comfortable brains couldn't process the math they refused to believe that forty thousand human beings could be systematically slaughtered in an eight-hour window spread over two nights.
To anyone safe outside the blast zone who calls that number an exaggeration, look at this video. Look at that massive, unstoppable sea of people.
Now use your brain and apply some basic, unforgiving logic:
If this occupying cartel didn't deploy industrial-scale mass execution, HOW ELSE DID THEY SURVIVE THAT CROWD?
A wave of human defiance that massive doesn't turn back for tear gas or rubber bullets.
The only reason this forsaken regime didn't collapse on those two nights is because they turned our streets into an open-air slaughterhouse.
The mass murder wasn't just a display of cruelty; it was their only structural means of survival. They had to clear the board with live ammunition just to breathe another day.
How many thousands more of us must die fighting this tyrannical syndicate before you finally wake up to the nightmare that is our daily reality?
The internet is back in Iran.
Now the world is seeing what the regime tried to hide. Many of these protesters never came home.
Watch. Share. Don't stay silent.
