As we’re forced to say goodbye to one of our most brilliant, hilarious and beloved shows, @colbertlateshow, I want to thank Stephen and his incredible team for the eleven years of astonishing gifts they’ve given us all.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

No nation, no society, and no international order can call itself just and humane if it measures its success solely by power or prosperity while neglecting those who live at the margins. Indeed, Christ’s love for the least and the forgotten compels us to reject every form of selfishness that leaves the poor and the vulnerable invisible.

President Obama on Iran: “We pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. There’s no dispute that it worked and we didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz”

@midwestcamp @jmcw Nice to meet you, Jeff

[George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 @gtconway3d]

The President of the United States is a criminal.

He SHOULD have been convicted for the crimes he led on January 6th, 2021. He WAS convicted of 34 felonies for corruption and harassment.

Yet somehow, instead of facing the consequences he deserves, he’s running the United States government like a mob operation.

We don’t have a government for the people, by the people, of the people.
We have a government of the boss, by the boss, and for the boss.
It’s all for Trump.

But what is Congress doing about it? Nothing.

This explanation of the 'greenhouse effect' in 1985 by Dr. Carl Sagan remains a landmark of science communication for its clarity and planetary perspective.

Se hizo una convocatoria pública para que todos los trombonistas de Nueva York llevaran su instrumento y despidieran a Willie Colón hoy, a la salida de su féretro de la Catedral de San Patricio, donde se celebró una misa en su honor. Mira el resultado:

I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of my friend and inspiration, John Hammond, Jr. From the first time I heard him on the first blues album I bought, Blues at Newport ‘63 on Vanguard Records, I was just knocked out and have felt that way about him ever since.

Michelle and I were deeply saddened to hear about the passing of a true giant, the Reverend Jesse Jackson. We will always be grateful for Jesse's lifetime of service, and the friendship our families share. We stood on his shoulders. We send our deepest condolences to the Jackson family and everyone in Chicago and beyond who knew and loved him.

Watching the @NBA All Star game and @TeamUSA at the Winter Olympics, it’s clear that sports — just like music and art — still has the power to bring us together, build community, and remind us of our common humanity.
