The woman in the picture with a police officer is Helen Johnson from Tarrant, Alabama. She was caught stealing at a nearby Dollar General and the police were called to arrest her. The surprise of all is when the police officer arrived at the scene and asked her what she stole, she said, "Five Eggs To Feed My Hungry Children.". The police officer took her back to the supermarket and bought her groceries to feed herself and her kids. Miss Helena started crying and asked the police officer, "Sir, this is too much for you have done for me...". The police officer replied, "Sometimes we shouldn't apply the law but must apply the humanity!". ❤

My thoughts are with the families and communities affected by the Maui fires. We can make a real impact by volunteering our time, skills, or resources. Let's come together and support the recovery efforts: https://t.co/3ZkkpBBkP4. #MauiStrong#HelpMauiRise#HawaiianHostGroup
Today is Canadian Multiculturalism Day and the mayors of Vancouver and Toronto are both Chinese-Canadian, Ken Sim and Olivia Chow.

“In one of the most notable moments in sports history, Kenyan runner Abel Mutai was just a few feet from the finish line, but became confused with the signage and stopped thinking he had completed the race.
A Spanish athlete, Ivan Fernandez, was right behind him, and after realizing what was happening, he started shouting at the Kenyan for him to continue running; but Mutai didn't understand his Spanish.
Fernandez eventually caught up to him and instead of passing him, he pushed him to victory.
A journalist asked Ivan, "Why did you do that?"
Ivan replied, “My dream is that someday we can have a kind of community life where we push and help each other to win.” The journalist insisted “But why did you let the Kenyan win?" Ivan replied, "I didn't let him win, he was going to win.” The journalist insisted again, “But you could have won!”Ivan looked at him & replied, “But what would be the merit of my victory? What would be the honor of that medal?
What would my Mom think of that?”
Values are transmitted from generation to generation.
What values are we teaching our children?
Let us not teach our kids the wrong ways to WIN.”

@ThisIsGregor @prostataztytanu @rolandgarros@SabalenkaA By approaching the net, I believe this enflamed the situation instead of giving encouragement and support to the Ukrainian people. I have always supported Aryna cheering loud for her at Indian Wells most recently but this situation made me sad.
@ThisIsGregor @prostataztytanu @rolandgarros@SabalenkaA It’s too easy to say that one can not mix sport with politics. If one has a platform one must have the integrity
to use it. Svitolina is not asking for pkayers from Russia and Belarus to not participate in tournaments. So a little gesture of solidarity would be great.
@ThisIsGregor @prostataztytanu @rolandgarros@SabalenkaA Here’s my take. Sabalenka verbally states she does not support the war. Svitolina needs to make a gesture to show support for Ukraine and states she will not be shaking hands. Fair enough. The war is an atrocity that one must not ignore.
Elina Svitolina: I'm not really focusing on [reaction /booing]. I don't want everyone to like me, I'm not a dollar so people gonna like me in every way. As I said, I have my position. I'm standing by this position. Not gonna sell my country for the sake of being liked
BREAKING: The gun used in yesterday’s Louisville bank shooting was an AR-15-style rifle, federal law enforcement says.
The SAME gun more than 30 law enforcement officers were AFRAID to confront in Uvalde that left 19 children dead.
The SAME gun that’s been
the weapon of choice in many of the most horrific mass shootings in recent memory, including the Covenant school shooting in Nashville just two weeks ago.
The SAME gun brandished by Republican radicals like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert.
The SAME gun worn as a pin on the lapels of disgusting GOP lawmakers.
This is what we need to scream everywhere:
If 30 armed officers wearing full tactical gear with ballistic shields are too afraid to confront a single gunman with an AR-15, they SHOULD NOT be in the hands of civilians.
We have the answer. It’s the guns.
BAN ASSAULT RIFLES NOW.
Wow!! 100-year-old Grace Linn stood up to Ron DeDantis and demanded Florida STOP banning books at a Martin County School Board meeting!
Everyone needs to see this!
It wasn’t about making a political statement – human rights are non-negotiable. That should be taken for granted, but it still isn’t the case. That’s why this message is so important to us.
Denying us the armband is the same as denying us a voice. We stand by our position.
