@hicharliecotton Wait until I tell you about forest glen where it’s too deep for an escalator so you have to take an elevator to get to the platform

Despicable: the House just passed a farm bill that includes the SOB Act to keep pigs imprisoned in crates.

Our last hope is to keep this out of the Senate farm bill. Call your senators at [phone] and tell them NO farm bill bill with the Save Our Bacon Act in it.

[Lauren Milord @LEM413]

Our hyper-industrialized food system allows us to turn a blind eye to massive suffering - and beyond endangering the animals’ health, it dangers human health. Fighting this cruelty is something even Tomi Lahren had gotten behind. Call your senators to oppose the farm bill.

[NothingIsArt @NothingIsArt]

The worst day of my life would be the best day of these animals’ lives. Most humans have not even scratched the surface of suffering.

[Jeff Sebo @jeffrsebo]

This is a pivotal moment not only for sparing millions of pigs from torture, but also for testing whether any meaningful regulation of industrial animal agriculture—an industry that devastates animal welfare, public health, and the environment—will be possible in our country in the near future.

Please call your representatives today, and ask them to kill the Farm Bill.

[Richard Hanania @RichardHanania]

Congress about to remove most state animal welfare protections for factory farms.

This is what the GOP prioritizes.

I suggest calling your member of Congress.

These are Afghans who served with US troops at great risk. Who this country plans to ship to the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Unconscionable.

Invest a little in the future of STEM, and the returns are innumerable.

This is pretty much why it makes sense to 10x NASAs budget ngl

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Hundreds of millions of people throughout the world are immersed in extreme poverty. Yet, disproportionate wealth remains in the hands of a few. It is an unjust scenario, in the face of which we cannot fail to question ourselves and commit to change things. There is no lack of resources at the root of disparities, but the need to address solvable problems related to a more equitable distribution of wealth, to be achieved with moral sense and honesty.

"We will always choose each other."

Mission control has reacquired signal with the Artemis II crew after the mission’s planned loss of signal. Our astronauts are once again using the Deep Space Network to keep conversation and science data flowing between space and Earth.

Astronauts, they’re just like us fr

The Artemis 2 crew is officially awake onboard Orion ‘Integrity.’ Their song of choice this morning? “Pink Pony Club” by @ChappellRoan.

However, the DJ at Mission Control Center Houston didn’t quite let it get to the crew’s favorite part of the song.

We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.

@calleymeans Ever wake up nauseous from anesthesia and in pain after surgery with the thought of water making you gag so apple juice is the only thing palatable? Guess not.

[Catholic Arena @CatholicArena]

Whatever your feelings on events in the Middle East

If it was your children lining those graves, the Babylon Bee wouldn't hesitate to joke about it and minimise it, just as they did when three Christians were killed at Holy Family Church last summer and they accused the Catholic community there of being Hamas supporters

The pope, however, would undoubtedly mourn and pray for your family

🚨 Cardinal Blase J. Cupich condemns the video posted by the White House.

The cardinal, Archbishop of Chicago, denounced in very clear and forceful terms the decision to post on social media a video splicing scenes from popular action films with actual footage of the strikes on Iran, captioned: “JUSTICE THE AMERICAN WAY.”

Under headline “The Face of War”, Vatican newspaper shows picture of coffins of 180 Iranian schoolgirls (probably) killed by United States forces in violation of international humanitarian law.

Improving civil-military relations was such a key focus when I was an International Relations major at Tufts. This does nothing but harm both communities who have much to learn from one another. Shameful.

Want to know the craziest part about insurance company Pre Authorization Denials ?

The insurance company defines the network of providers the patient can use

When they deny care, they are effectively saying "we don't trust the judgement of the doctors we require you to use" 🤯🤯🤯
