Meta will enforce a two-hour daily limit on Instagram and Facebook for children as part of a record $17.1B settlement with 29 states over social media addiction claims:

• The “Productive Pauses” for children include mandatory pauses after 15 minutes of continuous use and again at 60 and 90 minutes to interrupt endless scrolling

• “Nighttime blocks” restricting children’s access from 12:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m.

• Limited school-time access for children, eliminating push notifications on weekdays from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. during the school year

• Robust age assurance measures to more effectively verify the age of young users

• Safer, age-appropriate content controls, including stronger safeguards against bullying, content promoting eating disorders, and content related to suicide and self-harm

• Stronger, more user-friendly parental controls

• Limits on social comparison features, including beauty filters and visible “like” counts, that have been linked to poor mental health outcomes in kids and teens

• Both the implementation and effectiveness of the features will be regularly assessed by an independent auditor and the settling states

Intelligent people live a boring life. They go to bed at 10. Wake up at 6. Eat simple foods. Go for long walks. Read thick books. Say no to things that drain them. The world chases excitement. But they chase calm. Things that align with their soul. A calm routine. A quiet mind. A healthy body. Meaningful work. A small circle. A private life. Their life may look boring from the outside. But from the inside, they experience a kind of freedom most people spend their entire lives searching for.

[🍂 @Lovandfear]

The older I get, the more I understand why people disappear into gardening, baking, reading, and long walks. Not because life got boring. Because peace became valuable.

[Astra⭐️ @astraregarder]

Dear God, thank You for carrying me through another day and for staying beside me through every moment, even when I felt tired, worried, or uncertain. As I lay down tonight, please quiet my mind, remove the stress from my heart, and remind me that I can place every burden in Your hands. Give me peaceful rest and protect me throughout the night, and help me wake up tomorrow with a renewed spirit, a grateful heart, and the strength to keep moving forward. In Jesus name, amen. 🙏🏾

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

“The Love that moves the sun and the other stars” still impels us to hope. Love moves us, urges us onward, awakens us from lethargy, inspires new vocations, and calls us to take risks. In love, there is never coercion or indoctrination; never seduction, deception, or recruitment. Love exists only in freedom, genuine encounter, and the generous gift of self. #PastoralVisit #Rimini https://t.co/q7Kyt8JLjt

Good morning and Happy Sunday to everyone who'd like to take a moment to appreciate Joe Biden while he's still with us, although he's suffering greatly from cancer.

This is one of my favorite clips of him, so compassionate and caring. Amazing guy🙏💙🙏.

Praying for you, Joe.

Former FDA Commissioner David Kessler:

“Over the last 40 years, the US has been exposed to something that our biology was never intended to handle: Energy dense, highly palatable, rapidly absorbable 𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐫𝐚 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐬 that have altered our metabolism and resulted in the greatest increase in chronic disease in our history.”

The food industry is poisoning us for profit and causing a massive spike in diabetes, heart attacks, strokes, and heart failure.

They add chemicals, preservatives, and artificial colorings to our food in order to cut costs because under our capitalist system their sole priority is profit, not the people’s nutritional health.

But why would our government allow the food industry to poison us? Because our government and both parties are bought off by the corporations making our food.

This is the core problem with allowing capital to control the government. Every law, every budget, and every decision made prioritizes corporate profits over the health, safety and well-being of the people.

This ICE thug scumbag walked out of his way, 30 feet across the street, to pepper spray a woman point blank in the face. He's not performing any legal act.

She was NO THREAT to him at all.
ICE cannot be reformed as it is.

ABOLISH ICE.

[Jesus Freakin Congress @TheJFreakinC]

🚨BREAKING: In New York, an ICE agent was caught on video walking across the street and pepper spraying a woman directly in the face… for film them.

In the video, a woman is standing, with several other civilians, on the opposite side of the street.

They aren’t blocking traffic, or interfering with an arrest. In fact, you can’t even see an arrest taking place. They’re simply standing there, filming ICE agents from a public place.

Then, the ICE agent deliberately walks across the street, approaches the woman, raises his pepper spray canister just inches from her face, and sprays her directly in the eyes. People standing around her are seen running away to avoid getting sprayed, too

Only AFTER spraying her do you hear the agent say, “Back up.”

And then they turn around, like they didn’t just assault U.S. citizens with a chemical weapon, and walk away.

This should piss off every American.

The First Amendment protects your right to record law enforcement in public.

Pepper spraying someone for peacefully recording… is retaliation.

The Fourth Amendment also protects people from excessive force. Under the Constitution, officers can’t use force that isn’t objectively reasonable under the circumstances.

If someone is standing on the other side of the street, posing no immediate threat, not resisting, and not interfering… it’s difficult to justify blasting them in the face with a chemical weapon.

And even ICE’s own use-of-force standards require force to be reasonable, necessary, and proportional to the threat presented.

Nothing in this video suggests that standard was met.

This is exactly why people should be concerned about masked federal agents operating with little transparency, or accountability…

If agents can walk up to U.S. citizens and assault them with a chemical weapon for recording… that means your constitutional rights exist at the discretion of whoever is holding the pepper spray.

And that’s not how a constitutional republic is supposed to work.

[Ed Krassenstein @EdKrassen]

A fully masked ICE agent pepper sprayed a woman in New York yesterday merely for videotaping.

This is what tyranny looks like in Trump’s America. Imagine if Biden had Trump supporters pepper sprayed for videotaping.

Fauci's diary revealed how the Millers secretly turned to him for COVID advice—then demanded he be jailed for his handling of the pandemic. https://t.co/trrpvbr6Ci

The Fauci hearing is an Epstein distraction.

The Fauci hearing is an Iran distraction.

The Fauci hearing is a sham.

"Howard Lutnick lost 658 Cantor Fitzgerald employees who were killed on 9/11..."

Within days — before many were even confirmed dead — Howard Lutnick cut off their paychecks to their families without warning.

He wept on national television. The families were furious.
Years later Cantor Fitzgerald won a $135 million settlement from American Airlines.

Lutnick told senior executives the bulk of the money would go to the firm's partners — not the families of the 658 dead.

He is now Trump's Secretary of Commerce.
He is also the man who lied to Congress about visiting Jeffrey Epstein's island with eight children.

So basically Mitch McConnell is a vegetable on life support in the hospital rn and bc his wife fled to China there’s no one with power of attorney to pull the plug or give up his seat…

Which is likely by design bc if the seat were vacated before August 3rd the election would become a special election which would allow Thomas Massie to run as an Independent and potentially win.

And the entire Republican Party is going along with this sick charade bc they are wholly owned by a foreign country who views Thomas Massie as a serious threat to their power.

Today on Anthony Bourdain’s birthday, let’s honor Tony by sharing a meal…with a friend or with a stranger…and making sure they’re okay. @wckitchen we are honoring him in a way by being next to the people of Venezuela after the earthquakes. Sharing food and hope. #BourdainDay

BREAKING: @tedlieu just said what we were all thinking:

"President Trump has repeatedly fallen asleep at multiple Cabinet meetings, at multiple White House events, and most recently at a raucous basketball game last night. The White House needs to explain why Trump keeps going to the hospital and why they keep giving him cognitive tests..
