Tell your children about Ruby Bridges, the first Black child to integrate an all-white public elementary school in Louisiana. She turned 71 last year-she's only 71.

[Bill Kristol @BillKristol]

"We now know from the Times that Blanche was the mastermind behind nearly all the effort to shield Trump from any political fallout over the Epstein files. When he goes before the Senate for his confirmation, they should tear him apart for it."

This Administration has removed the achievements of the Air Force’s first female Thunderbird pilot Retired Colonel Nicole Malachowski. The removal of these articles have sparked criticism because her place in Air Force history is not a Political slogan it’s well documented.

[Morgan J. Freeman @mjfree]

😱😱😱 And just like that, it’s completely VANISHED from the media.

A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children.

Lets make this viral again 👇

🚨🚨🚨 I'm posting this video every day so we NEVER forget what insurrectionist Donald Trump did on J6

Instead of accepting defeat and honoring the peaceful transfer of power, Trump unleashed a deadly mob on the U.S. Capitol in a last-ditch attempt to stay in power

THIS is what an insurrection looks like 👇👇👇

June 11, 1963. My late sister in law - Vivian Malone - with the help of the Department of Justice and President Kennedy integrated the University of Alabama. The Governor of the state, George Wallace, stood in the school house door to prevent her from enrolling. The use of State power to trample on the rights of black Americans. In 2026 this resurgent movement by southern Republicans is both historically familiar and alarming.

Vivian fought.

Thank you Rep. Ted Lieu for calling out the lies and misinformation on the Screwworm by Agriculture Secretary, Brooke Rollins. ✅

I’ve been thinking a lot about the extraordinary outbursts of the President of the United States against female journalists... well, actually against journalists in general and journalism. But it feels like he saves his most childlike behavior and irrational language for female reporters, calling them all kinds of names that kids in kindergarten are given times out for. It’s stunning to me to witness such behavior from any leader, any CEO, any person of influence or importance. I’ve never witnessed someone like this raging, this weekend with @meetthepress host @kwelkernbc, just last week in the Oval Office with @cnn’s @kaitlancollins, calling women stupid or piggy, telling them to “smile”, calling them darling, demeaning their credibility. Every good man should denounce this behavior. Every person should be able to stand up for their colleagues and say “No more.”

Imagine this man screaming like this at your daughter, your wife, your sister, your mother... would you stand for it? No, you wouldn’t! And neither should any of us. It’s unacceptable and undignified. Period. End of story.

An appropriate post from Zelensky on the anniversary of D-Day. Nothing from Trump. Which is appropriate, since Zelensky is a fighter against tyranny, unlike Trump.

[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

After Medgar Evers was murdered in front of his wife and children, JFK invited his family to the White House to honor his legacy.

In the next decades, 3 Democratic Presidents continued the tradition by inviting his widow Myrlie Evers to the WH and advocating for civil rights.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

This is really stupid, and it’s not getting enough attention.

The Trump administration is pulling a working $368 million ocean monitoring system out of the water, equipment taxpayers already bought, built, and sank into the deep ocean.

And they are doing it right when the oceans are behaving in ways that alarm the scientists who study them.

Record-breaking temperatures.

A system of Atlantic currents that may be lurching toward collapse.

The response?

Yank out the instruments and walk away.

That is not budgeting. That is smashing the gauges while the engine is on fire and calling it efficiency.

For what? The Trump administration dressed it up as a “nimbler approach” and “smart lifecycle management,” which is fancy nonsense for “we shut it off and hoped nobody would ask why.” There is no return-on-investment analysis. They cannot show taxpayers save a dime, because the gear is already paid for and the science it produces protects real money and real lives.

The kicker: the same people killing the monitors want to mine the deep sea for minerals. So they are destroying the only tools that could measure what that mining does. That is not an accident.

That is the point. You cannot see the damage if you break the instruments first.

@CalltoActivism 🙄Troy Lake wasn't a farmer; he was a WY diesel mechanic who got 7 months for violating the Clean Air Act by removing emissions controls on 344+ trucks, not 7 years for fixing a tractor.

@CalltoActivism If Trump doesn’t like the story, or if it’s not big enough for his liking (you know, Trump and his obsession with size), he just makes one up.

We’re all supposed to pretend this isn’t happening a lot?

How does this make us look to the rest of the world?

Trump appears to be completely passed out asleep during his 3pm Oval Office announcement

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

KALLAS: It clearly shows panic on Russian side. The reason they are increasing terrorist attacks they are carrying out in Ukraine is because they don’t know what to do with these things [Ukrainian drone strikes deep inside Russia].

The reason they have turned off the internet and all access to information for ordinary Russians is because otherwise they would also see what is going on. And that is of course posing some very serious questions for Putin and his regime.

Her name was Betty Ong.

And for 23 minutes on September 11, 2001, she became the calmest voice in America.

Betty was 45 years old.
A flight attendant from San Francisco.
Known to coworkers simply as “Bee.”

That morning, she was working aboard American Airlines Flight 11 from Boston to Los Angeles.

She had picked up the trip because she planned to continue home to San Francisco afterward and then fly to Hawaii for a vacation with her sister.

At 7:59 a.m., the plane took off.

Twenty minutes later, Betty picked up a phone at the back of the aircraft and called American Airlines operations.

The reservations agent who answered heard a calm voice say:

“I think we’re getting hijacked.”

Nobody had ever made a call like that before.

Betty stayed on the line for the next 23 minutes.

While chaos unfolded around her, she remained composed and methodical.

She reported that the cockpit wasn’t responding.
That flight attendants had been stabbed.
That passengers were struggling to breathe after something resembling Mace had been sprayed.

She even gave seat numbers for the suspected hijackers.

Everything she observed was passed from American Airlines to the FAA and air traffic control in real time.

Her call helped authorities understand something horrifying:

This wasn’t an accident.

This was coordinated.

This was an attack.

People later falsely described Betty as hysterical during the call.

The woman who spoke with her directly said the opposite was true.

“She was calm, professional, and poised.”

Betty never stopped doing her job.

Even in the final minutes of her life.

At 8:46 a.m., Flight 11 crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center.

The line suddenly went silent.

The agent on the other end waited a moment and quietly asked:

“Betty… are you there?”

No answer came back.

Months later, Betty’s family fought to obtain the recording of her final call.

When they finally heard it, her brother explained something that stayed with many people afterward:

Betty never called home.

Not because she didn’t love her family.

Because in that moment, she believed her responsibility was to the passengers and crew around her.

That’s who she was.

Today, Betty Ong’s name is memorialized at Ground Zero and throughout San Francisco’s Chinatown.

But what makes her unforgettable isn’t only the tragedy.

It’s the extraordinary calm she showed while facing unimaginable fear.

She was heading to Hawaii.

Instead, she picked up a phone and helped the world understand what was happening while there was still time to warn others.

That is what courage sometimes looks like.

Not loud.
Not dramatic.

Just a steady voice doing its job until the very end.
