Denmark, particularly in Copenhagen, has installed floating platforms/islands planted with wildflowers and native vegetation in its harbors and canals.
These create safe urban habitats and sanctuaries for birds, bees, pollinators, insects, and even some aquatic life.
In honor of my mother, Flora Klein, who at 14 years of age was in the concentration camps of Nazi Germany, I will be at the White House July 4th honoring our veterans from WW II July 4th. Alongside me, will be 10 surviving WW II veterans. God bless our veterans.
It’s genuinely insulting to claim people are angry over Henry Nowak’s murder only because of Farage or Musk.
Anyone watching that bodycam footage would be furious.
The idea that it needs a public figure to ‘stoke’ basic human outrage is nonsense!
The same police force who handcuffed Henry Nowak and called him a liar as he died, did this to the people protesting it.
Nobody can say there's no two tier policing and judiciary in the UK.
The whole world sees it.
People don’t want to hear it but… 😤😡 Henry Nowak deserved better. We all deserve better. I’m sorry for embarrassing myself and family with the anger in this video but I can’t sit back anymore. I have to do whatever I can to be the voice I believe is needed #HenryNowak#justice #twotier #twotierbritain
Dr Elisabeth Potter, a plastic surgeon for cancer patients in Texas calls for healthcare reform in America
While in the middle of a surgery, UnitedHealthcare called the Operating Room and made her to exit surgery to justify an overnight stay for her patient
Dr Potter made a social social media video saying out insane this is and UnitedHealthcare threatened her
UnitedHealthcare sent her a 6-page legal letter from a defamation firm. It demanded she:
- Remove the posts and videos
- Issue a public apology
- Retract her statements claiming she lied
- They accused her posts of “fomenting violence” due to angry public comments against insurers
Dr. Potter is pushing for the Speak Free Act legislation to protect healthcare workers from retaliation when they speak out about systemic issues in patient care
We must DEMAND healthcare reform in this country. It’s only going to get worse because of big health insurance carriers
When American POWs tried to sneak her notes with their personal information to tell their families they were still alive, she gave them to the North Vietnamese. Some of them were beaten to death. You are both commies and you can both fuck off.
Every oncologist should watch Ben Sasse’s interview with Ross Douthat. I was captivated by his courage, serenity, and his ability to articulate what so many of our patients feel and experience. Ben and I don’t share the same political or religious beliefs, which made it all the more compelling.
A few things stood out:
* His physicians struggled to deliver the “hard facts.” They led with advances in oncology before telling him he had cancer, wanting to stay positive. I’ve been there - it’s incredibly tough to balance truth with hope. We need to be frank with our patients, even when it’s difficult. I also imagine that the story didn’t play out exactly as Ben recollected, but perception is reality for our patients.
* Ben asked for “Oncology 101”: chemo vs. radiation vs. surgery vs. targeted therapy. He kept saying “teach me” - he needed a map. I love that. Every patient deserves this navigation. Cancer is overwhelming without a clear direction.
* He’s on a drug targeting a cancer gene long considered “undruggable.” We’re making real progress and occasionally witnessing “miracles” in clinic - responses grounded in cancer biology. This progress depends on funding and clinical trials. This is how we move the field forward.
* The flip side is that these treatments carry real toxicity. Ben’s face makes this painfully clear. I am constantly amazed at what many patients are willing to endure and the resilience that they show.
* Ben loves his hospice team. They gave him a practical framework for managing four variables: cancer pain, nausea, balancing diarrhea and constipation, and energy/fatigue. He noted that oncologists often steer conversations to their own agenda (scans, treatment, etc). I’ve been guilty of this too. We need to listen more.
* Despite being given a prognosis of a few months, Ben keeps his great sense of humor. After watching this, I feel we could actually be friends. Political labels might once have gotten in the way - and that’s on me. Confronting death strips away differences and magnifies what we share.
* Ben on the digital culture we live in: “These super-devices in our pockets, the largest tools any individual has ever had, allow our consciousness to leave the time and place where we actually live… the places where we break bread, the people we can physically touch and hug.” This is so true.
* Ben doesn’t fear death, but he fears misprioritization. Dinner time is precious. There’s a limit to work trips. Live near family. Cancer forces laser focus on what matters most. When people who are dying share these pearls, all of us need to listen and consider it a gift.
Highly recommended. Wishing you the best, @BenSasse.

A new milestone for humankind: The crew of Artemis II are now the farthest any human has ever travelled, reaching a maximum distance of 252,752 miles from Earth.
This surpasses the previous record set by Apollo 13 in 1970 by about 4,102 miles.
New record🥇
The Artemis II astronauts are now farther from Earth than humans have ever been! At 1:57 p.m. EDT, they broke the record set by Apollo 13 in 1970.
Their journey around the far side of the Moon today will take them a maximum distance of 252,752 miles from Earth.
Muslim Uber driver Ahmed Ali pretended to drop off a drunk US girl.
Instead, drove her to a secluded area and raped her!
Her family tracked her phone and found him.
The courtroom was packed with other Somali Muslims in SUPPORT of Ali.
Get them out!

19 year old Iranian wrestling champion Saleh Mohammadi was just publicly executed for protesting against the Islamic Regime.
So, to all liberal Westerners:
Watch and learn.
This is what it’s like to ACTUALLY live in a nation with no free speech.
