More shocking is that there are still some Jews voting D in New York.

Text book wrap-up smear.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

I can’t believe we have to say this, but the annihilation of two major American cities — more than 5 million people — is not a “small price to pay” for Trump's illegal war.

Neither are the 19 American troops and 3,000+ Iranians who lost their lives.

Our president is unhinged.

@AlcuinPress @joshdcaplan I feel this deeply

He got it from his mama.

Bear 89, aka Backpack, is the 2026 Fat Bear Week champ. Turns out hefty runs in the family.

His mom, Holly the Duchess of Density, won in 2019. She carried him on her back as a cub and helped him survive a serious leg injury. Now her little Backpack has a crown of his own. 👑

Badonkachonk!! 🫡🐻

The #FatBearWeek crown goes to:

Heavy is the bear that wears the crown. Like really heavy.

Or "Cross-fit people" 😂

[Spencer Pratt @spencerpratt]

It's crazy how many stars in the film industry quietly hate the woke stuff. It's tough when normal people rightly believe that celebrities should avoid politics, but the crazy ones like Midlife Mark Ruffalo can't stop vomiting commie gobbledygook every day. Asymmetric war.

There's a simple way to tell if a celebrity is based (normal). If they don't talk about politics, they're normal, and they hate the woke commies. It's really that simple. The ones who love woke communism never stop talking about it. They're like vegans. Or cross-fit people.

Kids are the greatest blessing. The beauty of the early moments when everything else falls away and it's just you and the baby. I miss rocking the little ones at 4 am while the world slept. #ILoveMyKids

@cd4losangeles This has to be parody

@4thOfJuly365 Beautiful 🙏

More of this please! Kids are the greatest blessing.

[AuthentiKate ☂️🪔🍒 @kateiswell]

I’m so, SO, SO tired of the narrative that having children is the worst thing that ever happened to women.

Let’s flood this thread with something different.

Post a photo or short video of a mom genuinely enjoying her children. A baby being adored. A toddler making her laugh. A mom soaking up an ordinary, beautiful moment with her kids.

Let’s show what loving motherhood looks like. ❤️

(I love that dad’s in the reflection on the fridge, too.)

Just mind blowing. This is not AI but real life!

[SpaceX @SpaceX]

After approx. 24 days at sea, the SpaceX Recovery team successfully guided Starship to a location just off the coast of Christmas Island. A team of SpaceX engineers is on their way to conduct additional analysis on the vehicle in calmer waters before attempting to return it to Starbase

Tanmaxxing 😅 We are now back in the 1980's.

[The Associated Press @AP]

Experts are concerned as tanning has become more popular again with young people online, some influencers are even encouraging the use of tanning beds.

The pressure to look tanned and beautiful is coming up against years of skin cancer warnings and evidence of the danger posed by UV radiation.

This gal is so great, always playing along with her man's shenanigans. Men want and need more of this!

I never understood the depth of this painting.

[James Lucas @JamesLucasIT]

This is one of the most beloved paintings in America, and it puts its finger on something we all pass through, first as the child, and one day as the parent left behind...

The painting is Breaking Home Ties, by Norman Rockwell, on the cover of the Saturday Evening Post in 1954. A father and his teenage son sit side by side on the running board of a battered farm truck, waiting at a railway stop. A single track runs along the bottom of the picture. A ticket pokes from the boy's pocket. His suitcase is stacked with schoolbooks and wears a "State U" pennant. The train is coming to carry him off to college, away from home, for the first time in his life.

Everything is in the way they sit.

The son sits upright, scrubbed and dressed in his best, eyes fixed on the horizon, on the track, on the future rushing toward him. He is already half gone. For him that train is the beginning of everything.

His father sits beside him in worn work clothes and scuffed boots, looking the other way, down the line, as if he cannot bear to watch it arrive. The same train means the opposite thing to him. For the son it is the start of a life. For the father it is the day the house grows quieter, the chair at the table sits empty, and the person he built his world around walks out into a life that no longer has him at its centre.

Look at his hands. He is holding two hats. His own battered one, and resting on top of it, his son's crisp new one, held carefully together, because it is the last small thing he can still do for the boy...

And then the dog, its head laid in the son's lap, gazing up, refusing to look away. Rockwell knew exactly what that was for: "The father couldn't show how he felt about the boy's leaving," he said. "The dog did."

It has moved people for 70 years because every leaving is a beginning for one person and an ending for another. The child steps out into the world, as they should. And someone stays behind, watching them go, and loving them enough to let them go anyway...

I'm in awe on a regular basis of the Greatest Generation. What I life. RIP Jeanne.

[Steve Clemans @Steve09812]

It is with profound sorrow that we bid farewell to Jeanne Gibson, our beloved Rosie the Riveter, has passed away today, July 29, 2026, at the remarkable age of 100. With her passing, we don't simply mourn the loss of a beloved friend, we honor the life of an American hero whose courage, dedication, and unwavering spirit helped shape history, and will continue to inspire generations to come.📷📷
At just 18 years old, Jeanne left her home in Minnesota in the summer of 1944 and answered her nation's call, becoming a welder at Todd Pacific Shipyards in Seattle. With determination and grit, she helped build destroyers that strengthened the Allied war effort during World War II. She later continued her service with the Army Transportation Corps in Juneau, Alaska, embodying the resilience and patriotism of the Greatest Generation.
Yet Jeanne's legacy extended far beyond the war. She earned her Ph.D., dedicated three decades to teaching, earned her private pilot license, and spent the rest of her life proving that courage, determination, and purpose know no age.
In 2024, Jeanne and her fellow Rosies were collectively awarded the Congressional Gold Medal, one of our nation's highest civilian honors, recognizing the extraordinary women whose sacrifices and determination helped secure victory during World War II.
To all of us at Pacific Historic Parks, Jeanne was far more than a Rosie, she was family. She traveled to Hawaiʻi time and again to share her remarkable story with visitors, inspire local students, and ensure that the sacrifices of the Home Front would never be forgotten. Her radiant smile, generous heart, and boundless enthusiasm touched every life she encountered.
She had a special gift for encouraging young girls, reminding them that no dream was too big and no obstacle too great. Through her words and her example, she inspired generations to believe in themselves and pursue lives of courage, service, and purpose.
Jeanne remained a tireless advocate for preserving the legacy of the Rosies, volunteering at Rosie the Riveter WWII Home Front National Historical Park on "Rosie Fridays" and ensuring the stories of the women who helped win the war would continue to inspire future generations.
In one of life's poignant moments, just days before her passing, Jeanne was celebrated with a Wall of Honor banner at the park she loved so dearly and recognized during a San Jose Earthquakes halftime ceremony honoring Bay Area heroes. It was a fitting tribute to a woman whose life was defined by selfless service, quiet strength, and extraordinary grace.
Though Jeanne has taken her final flight, her legacy will never fade. It lives on in every story she shared, every young person she inspired, every life she touched, and in the enduring example of courage she leaves behind.
Our hearts are with Jeanne's family, her fellow Rosies, and all who were blessed to know and love her.
Rest in peace, Jeanne Gibson.
Thank you for answering the call when your country needed you most. Thank you for showing generations what courage looks like. We will remember you always
