I am a huge believer in human connection and empathy for all beings. @Janefonda’s speech at SAG awards 2025 moved me—WOW and bravo!
We are hand in hand and connected, no matter how the greed of some tries to divide us. It is all LOVE❤️ 🕊️

Empathy is not weak or "woke." And, by the way, "woke" just means you give a damn about other people."

—Jane Fonda accepting her SAG Lifetime Achievement Award

[Spencer Althouse @SpencerAlthouse]

Jane Fonda using her SAG Lifetime Achievement speech to praise unions...queen tbh

"I'm a big believer in unions. They have our backs, they bring us into community, and they give us power. Community means power, and this is really important right now when workers' power is being attacked and community is being weakened..."

Animal Hope and Wellness is currently helping to evacuate animals from wildfire areas.

They are urgently requesting people in the LA County area to foster dogs during the wildfires.

[Kataneh Vahdani 🕊 @KatanehV]

While we help humans who are hurting due to devastating fires, let’s not forget the poor animals that are also suffering and have lost their homes 🙏🏼💔

I’m a child of war, grew up under the oppression in Iran but because of my warrior mother I read Jonathan Livingston Seagull. I will keep rising, I will push the limits, I’ll keep dreaming and help the fallen fly 🕊

I stand on the side of humanity. There’s only one side and that is wishing love and peace for all. Bring hostages home and Cease Fire. No division, only ONENESS and ONE LOVE 🕊🤍

“We are beyond desperate. But as a minimum, can we not just know how are they faring? This is not too much to ask, is it?”

Sharone Lifschitz’s mother is one of four hostages released by Hamas – but her father remains in Gaza. We spoke about the efforts to get the hostages home.

[Christiane Amanpour @amanpour]

“We can’t go on living like this. We have to find another way.”

Robi Damelin and Bassam Aramin each lost children in previous violence in Israel and the West Bank. Now, united by grief, they are working together for peace.

[Kataneh Vahdani 🕊 @KatanehV]

As the world faces so much pain, storytellers & artists keep fighting to bring people together🕊

Ultraman is a movie with heart that shows even with our differences we can still share love!
Congratulations @ShannonTindle_1 , @JohnAoshima & talented Ultraman team♥️
