Did you know that the first women to land on the Normandy beachhead in June 1944 were nurses of Queen Alexandra’s Imperial Nursing Service?

Their task was to establish a field hospital for 600 wounded soldiers.

They succeeded.

Please remember these heroines who saved lives:

D-Day was 82 years ago on June 6, 1944. If Trump had been president at that time, we'd all be speaking German.

As we mark the anniversary of the 19th Amendment's passage in Congress, we remember that freedom was not expanded because women waited for it—but because they acted.

They remind us our work is not done and each generation must continue the fight to build a more perfect union.

“Turning my back on Malcolm was one of the mistakes that I regret most in my life. I wish I’d been able to tell Malcolm I was sorry, that he was right about so many things. But he was killed before I got the chance. He was a visionary ahead of us all. Malcolm was the first to discover the truth, that color doesn’t make you a devil. It is the heart, soul, and mind that define a person. Malcolm was a great thinker and an even greater friend. I might never have become a Muslim if it hadn’t been for Malcolm. If I could go back and do it over again, I would never have turned my back on him.”

Albania has officially drawn the
line, Sazan 'lsland is being cleared. In an stunning turn of events, Albanian authorities have
launched an active enforcement operation to kick
out foreign developers and private security
personnel occupying Sazan Island. The decisive
action marks a total collapse of the controversial €1.4 billion luxury real estate deal that aimed to turn the protected national marine reserve and
former military base into an exclusive private playground for global elites,
The eviction comes after four consecutive weeks of historic
hundred-thousand-strong protests that completely
shut down the capital city of Tirana, refusing to allow their native coastlines and ecologically sensitive wetlands to be privatized by foreign
investors, the Albanian public unified under a
single, unyielding demand: "Albania is not for sale, the courts faced with a historic political crisis, mounting
domestic fury, and a widening anti-corruption
investigation by special prosecutors (SPAK), the
government was forced to pivot, by deploying state forces to reclaim Sazan lsland, Albania has
sent a clear message to international billionaires
and foreign developers trying to bypass environmental protection laws, This historic victory for citizen-led activism proves that the collective voice of a nation can successfully overpower backroom corporate deals and protect sovereign land.
The people spoke, and the
government had to listen.

Keep posting this so nobody forgets that this was one of the worst events in American history.

Never has a sitting president encouraged his supporters to believe a lie so deeply that they’d be willing to attack or democracy.

LMAOOOO, Nancy Pelosi does not have time for bullshit, folks.

Watch this fake reporter for "Mike Pillow man" get cooked for pushing debunked Jan 6th lies.

Woman: "You told me to shut up and..."
Pelosi: "And I'm telling you to shut up again."🔥🔥

Watchdog group Public Citizen found that White House ballroom donors won more than $50 billion in government contracts after giving to the project. One of the authors of the report says, "the donations from these companies... are no gift, they're a grift."

Saudi Arabia, Qatar, & the U.A.E. could soon influence:

CNN
CBS
HBO
Nickelodeon
Comedy Central
MTV
& more

Why? They’re dumping $24B into Paramount’s bid for Warner Bros.

We can't let countries with a record of censorship dictate what you watch. I’m pressing for accountability.
