On this day in 2014, a Russian Buk shot down a passenger aircraft MH17 flying at 10 km from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur over Donetsk region in eastern Ukraine.

All 283 passengers and 15 crew were killed.

@indigonl @CaolanReports Het gaat puur om een morele keuze en politieke wil. Contracten zijn niet langer relevant. Rusland heeft de basis regels van de internationale rechtstaat met voeten getreden. Het vermoord dagelijks oekraïense burgers en soldaten. Alle handel ondersteunt deze daden en moet stoppen.

@indigonl @CaolanReports We zijn in middels jaren verder. Het is onbegrijpelijk dat er nog handel kan plaats vinden.

EU countries are still buying Russian gas & supply Russia with raw materials.

This is where their money goes: burying civilians under rubble in Kyiv.

Europe is facilitating this.

Yesterday, the state Budget Conference Committee released its final FY 2027 state budget proposal. We are grateful to House and Senate leadership for their continued commitment to preventing childhood hunger by funding School Meals for All.

Guys,

Every tourniquet, every bandage, every donation, large or small, has helped keep our medical point running and has directly supported the soldiers under our care.

This raffle is my way of giving back to the community that made it possible.

Every ticket helps support the continued care of wounded soldiers, and every participant has my sincere gratitude.

In this photo are two brothers who took part together in the D-Day landings in Normandy 82 years ago. Today, one is 104 years old, and the other is 102.

On June 6, the world marked the 82nd anniversary of the Allied landings in Normandy—an operation that became a turning point in World War II.

It was then that the Allies opened the long-awaited Western Front in Europe. On the first day alone, more than 150,000 troops crossed the English Channel and landed on the shores of France.

The opening of this front forced Nazi Germany to fight simultaneously in the east and the west. Less than a year later, Berlin fell, and the war in Europe came to an end.

The men in the photo are brothers Hubert Terrell and L.K. Terrell. On D-Day, both played a role in liberating Europe from Nazism—one fought on the ground, the other in the skies.

Under enemy fire, L.K. Terrell crawled across the beach and destroyed two German machine-gun nests with hand grenades. He later recalled that he had learned to throw accurately long before the war while often playing ball with a local baseball player.

His brother Hubert served as a paratrooper and reconnaissance operative. Thanks to his fluency in French, Spanish, and Italian, he carried out five secret missions in occupied France, working with the French Resistance and gathering valuable intelligence for the upcoming Allied invasion.

Eighty-two years later, they are still standing side by side.

Two boys from Louisiana who became part of history.

[The Joint Staff 🇺🇸 @thejointstaff]

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine stood alongside veterans, service members, and Allies today at the Normandy American Cemetery, honoring the 82nd anniversary of D-Day.

We honor the immense courage and selfless sacrifice of the Greatest Generation, whose legacy of unity and bravery continues to inspire us and safeguard freedom for generations to come.

Can we all agree that in a world of influencers, Z-listers, TikToks, badly acted ads, brand collabs, people filming themselves crying…the Artemis livestream of 4 middle-aged scientists doing their jobs is genuinely the best most authentic content of the century? Thanks @NASA🌚

When Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, this extraordinary woman left her very comfortable position as top trauma nurse in US to save lives in Ukraine. She’s been on the front lines for years. Still saving lives and risking her own every day.

Please consider opening her donation link and helping her save more innocent lives.

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.

@MinisterOCW Hoe zo "meer erkenning", bedoeld u dat mensen met een PhD "te veel" erkenning krijgen? Meer aandacht voor de kwaliteit is natuurlijk moeilijker dan stickers uitdelen maar is uiteindelijk het enige dat verschil zal maken voor studenten en de samenleving.

I see all over x that morale is low among you. Do not give up. Stay strong and fight with us. I know it's hard but we have to dig deep. Share if you are still in the fight with us.

Pigs are smarter than dogs.

They solve puzzles, play video games with joysticks, and can outsmart 3-year-old children on some tests.

Pigs are highly sentient, showing empathy by mirroring others' stress or joy, forming deep bonds of affection and love, and displaying loyalty through long-term memory and trust.

Yet the pork lobby is sneaking the 'Save Our Bacon Act' into the farm bill to lock millions in cruel gestation crates for life.
