"The best thing you can do for yourself is actively increase your surface area for luck to hit you. Go outside, try new cafes, museums, events, take a new route home, speak to people, ask questions, side quest. The more you do, the more serendipity and synchronicity will find you.” ~Unknown

here's Barack Obama's entire speech commemorating the Obama Presidential Center. He reflected on his administration's successes and failures, critiqued the moral rot of contemporary America, and outlined a positive vision of the future -- all without ever mentioning Trump

Today, Elon Musk, a trillionaire, pays the same amount into Social Security as someone making $184,500.

If we end that absurdity and lift the cap on taxable income, we can make Social Security solvent for 75 years and expand benefits by $2,400. My Social Security bill does that.

Hey America, are you aware of what this administration is doing to our public lands, national forests, and national parks? They are selling it to the highest bidder; it won't be available to the public any longer. #DemsUnited

Florida has a choice in November. Time to remove the lunatics like @JamesUthmeierFL. If he gets his way, he will be personally responsible for getting people killed.

JOIN ME IN VOTING FOR @JoseJavierJJR AS OUR NEXT ATTORNEY GENERAL.

We need an AG who will again prioritize the law and public safety.

I love a good road trip, but this is brutally out of touch: a Trump Cabinet member making a documentary about himself while regular families can’t afford road trips anymore, because Trump and his war put gas prices through the roof.

2027 will almost certainly be the warmest year on record for Earth - by a long shot - and perhaps even 2026 may reach a record too. That’s due to the big boost of heat released from El Niño, on top of the long term warming. This happens as excess heat stored deep in the west tropical Pacific moves east and towards the ocean surface. When it reaches the surface the extra energy sparks thunderstorms and powers a strong subtropical jetstream. That combination releases tons of heat into the air and powers extreme weather all around the planet. As a result, the planet’s surface temperature will warm up significantly, pushing us past (probably far past) the record set in 2024. Worth noting that the planet’s warmest 10 years on record are indeed the last 10 years. And that the Earth is likely warmer now than it’s been in at least 120,000 years. #elnino #heatwave #extremeweather #science #stem

DeSantis drew up illegal, partisan maps and made sure Fox News got them before lawmakers did.

This clear effort to steal seats for Republicans shows total contempt for Florida voters, who voted two-to-one in favor of a ban on partisan gerrymandering in our Constitution.

[Fred Guttenberg @fred_guttenberg]

This week, my home state of Florida under @GovRonDeSantis and an already in place super majority said FUCK YOU to all of southern and central Florida. In doing so, lawsuits are inevitable. However, voters are also inevitable, IF WE VOTE!!! These maps have no effect on statewide races. WE ALL MUST SHOW UP AND VOTE OVERWHELMINGLY FOR @davidjollyfl AS GOVERNOR, @JoseJavierJJR AS ATTORNEY GENERAL AND @AVindman FOR SENATE!!!

He did it politely and diplomatically but King Charles just reminded Congress:
• NATO was there for USA after 9/11
• British Troops did fight in Afghanistan
• Ukraine needs our help now
• executive power must be subject to checks & balances
• ice-caps are melting
• America’s natural wonders need protecting

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

Ron DeSantis just rammed out a gerrymandered MAGA map that openly violates his own state constitution — and leaked it to Fox News before he gave it to the legislature.

California let voters decide. Virginia did too.

DeSantis won’t. He’s rigging the map because he knows he can’t win on a fair one.

Donald Trump started this war on voters. DeSantis is on his knees carrying it out.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Although we don’t yet have the details about the motives behind last night's shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner, it’s incumbent upon all us to reject the idea that violence has any place in our democracy. It’s also a sobering reminder of the courage and sacrifice that U.S. Secret Service Agents show every day. I’m grateful to them – and thankful that the agent who was shot is going to be okay.

Life is too short to worry about little things. Have fun. Fall in love. Regret nothing, and don't let people bring you down. Study, think, create, and grow. Teach yourself and teach others.

I am appalled to hear about the 31 sloths who died under the “care” of the not yet opened Sloth World in Orlando.

These sloths — naturally solitary animals — were put in the worst conditions possible. They were taken from their natural habitats to a packed warehouse that wasn’t properly heated and allowed for the spread of deadly viruses, leading to a stress-induced death.

My office is looking into this tragedy, and we will coordinate with local officials to determine how to best move forward.

Leonardo DiCaprio is urging his 60 million Instagram followers to contact members of the U.S. House of Representatives and urge them to vote “no” on a bill that seeks to dismantle the Endangered Species Act (ESA).

“Today, on Earth Day of all days, the U.S. House of Representatives is set to vote to gut the Endangered Species Act (ESA), trading the future of life on Earth for the short-term economic gain of a wealthy few... Today’s bill would devastate the most vulnerable species, which are essential to functioning ecosystems. I urge the House to reject this existential threat to our national security and choose to protect and recover species, and defend the living systems we all depend on. Call your U.S. Representative today to urge them to vote ‘no’ on the ESA Amendments Act of 2025 (H.R. 1897). U.S. Capitol switchboard: 202-224-3121.”
