To the man in 2D, today you were flying from Orlando to Philly. I don’t know you, but I think you must have seen us somewhere. I was pushing a stroller, carrying a diaper bag, and also lugging an oxygen machine for my daughter. We were all smiles, heading to see her "friends" at CHOP (Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia). We boarded the plane early, got settled in our window seat, and joked with the people around us about sitting next to my yelling-but-happy baby. Then, the flight attendant came over and told me you were offering to switch seats. You were giving up your comfortable first-class seat for us.

I couldn’t hold back the tears as I walked down the aisle, while my daughter Lucy giggled! She could feel the kindness too… real, pure goodness. I smiled and thanked you as we swapped seats but didn’t get the chance to thank you properly.

So... thank you. Not just for the seat, but for noticing us. For seeing that maybe things aren't always easy. For choosing to show us a random act of kindness. It reminded me how much good there is in the world. I can’t wait to tell Lucy about this someday. Until then... we will pay it forward. AA 588 passenger in seat 2D, your generosity truly inspired us.”

Just three Black women existing, thriving, laughing, and enjoying the freedom our ancestors dreamed of. That’s the celebration. 🤎✨ Happy Juneteenth

@BRENDA5000 @KTHopkins They look like tourists who just sat down to take a break.

The Epstein case is so bad the government gave you a war, a new virus, and aliens to keep you distracted from it. Sit with that as long as you need.

King Charles III quietly did something genuinely moving during his state visit to the United States. A lifelong environmentalist who has championed conservation for over five decades often at the cost of ridicule from the British press the King ended his trip by visiting Shenandoah National Park in Virginia.

There, he sat with park rangers, swore in a new group of Junior Rangers, met Buddy the bald eagle, and unveiled a new partnership between Shenandoah and Scotland’s Cairngorms National Park. This is the same man who converted his own estate to organic farming back in 1986, long before it was fashionable.

A foreign monarch showing up with real curiosity and respect for America’s public lands felt refreshingly sincere. And yet, it barely made a headline.

That silence is telling. When a visiting head of state reminds us of the value of our own national parks more visibly than our own leadership, something has gone wrong.

For decades, King Charles has put his credibility on the line for the natural world.

Meanwhile, America’s public lands have faced aggressive rollbacks: the weakening of protections like the Roadless Rule, opening tens of millions of acres of national forests to logging and mining, and efforts to sell off large portions to private interests.

It’s a stark contrast. One man has spent a lifetime planting trees and defending nature.

The other treats the outdoors primarily as a backdrop for golf courses.

Our public lands deserve better than being viewed as a development opportunity. They belong to all of us and they’re worth protecting, not selling.

@eleven21 @TheGeneral_0 I had friends who visited from out state during those days . They always wondered who David Berg was. Good Chicago trivia question

[Con @LaCon69]

@TheGeneral_0 It was the best of times. Lived there then too.

Here is 2 minutes of Donald Trump on the 2024 campaign trail pledging to lower your energy and electric bills by 50% within 12 months of taking office.

Can we get an update on this from MAGA?

[Wajahat Ali @WajahatAli]

Didn't Melania's husband mock the Pope, post blasphemous content, threaten genocide, ridicule and threaten the press, and engage in an illegal, unwinnable war with Iran -- all of that in the past month?

Very offensive, divisive, and hateful.

Maybe he should resign, and she should talk about her relationship with Epstein.

Pope Leo wasn’t sent to military school because he was buying knives ,didn’t have bone spurs diagnosed by a doctor
who was renting from his Dad,didn’t steal from charities, wasn’t convicted of 34 felonies and has never been considered a grifter, a racist,a misogynist, or an inveterate liar.
I’LL GO WITH THE POPE-NO CONTEST

First Lady Melania Trump has complained about "mean-spirited" comments about her.

Last month her hubby depicted Michelle Obama as an ape.

Apparently US taxpayers dollars can't go towards funding Medicare, Medicaid and child care but it can be used to buy votes for victor orban in Hungary's election.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

I renew my invitation for everyone to join me for the Prayer Vigil for Peace, which we will celebrate in St. Peter’s Basilica on Saturday, April 11, at 6:00 PM Rome time. #PrayTogether #Peace

[Joyce Alene @JoyceWhiteVance]

Can we please get back to finding out what’s in the Epstein Files?

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

Trump claims the Iran war is “an investment in your children and grandchildren’s future.”

Meanwhile, Trump uses the war as an excuse not to fund child care, Medicaid, and Medicare.

@hwinkler4real We went to the Dubuque Symphony today in Iowa. Outstanding.
