I don't know why this hasn't received more publicity, but this fifty-foot sculpture was unveiled recently in South Dakota.

It's called 'Dignity' and was done by artist Dale Lamphere to honor the women of the Sioux Nation.

Thank you for liking my post!

Does it not bother anyone else that the male reporters just stand there & watch like when Trump was asked a legitimate question by Journalist Rachel Scott & he lunged forward making a strange growling noise & then gets in her face while berating and pointing at her?

"As much as Americans may wish to forget the Trumps and their corruption after this presidency ends, the next generation of Trumps surely understands that political power is its surest defense against legal retribution. This makes recovering the Trumps’ wrongfully obtained wealth not only a matter of justice but also a matter of democratic survival."

People often get upset when turtles are released so far from the shoreline, But for those who don't know, There is a process involved; Although it might seem cruel to make them walk across the sand dragging their own weight, that trek is vital for their survival for three scientific reasons: Magnetic imprinting: Upon touching the sand, they imprint the magnetic field of that specific beach into their memory. This activates their "natural GPS," allowing them to return to the same spot 20 years later to lay their own eggs. Muscle activation: The physical effort of moving across the beach stimulates their circulatory system, expands their lungs, and warms up their flippers. It is the cardio workout they need to withstand the frenzy of swimming in the ocean. Spatial orientation: They learn to navigate using light reflections from the horizon and gravity, instinctively correcting their course so they don't get lost when entering the water. Nature is perfect! 😍😍 Helping them too much by placing them directly into the water deprives them of the tools they need to survive. So, please don't get angry! 😍

“Donald Trump’s Watergate.”…
That’s what members of Congress are calling the bombshell revelations, which exposed allegations that Trump officials coordinated with Justice Department officials in the Situation Room to shield Trump from the fallout surrounding the Epstein files.”

Americans all over are calling for the courts to order Trump to rebuild the White House's East Wing just how it was before he destroyed it.

Do YOU support this idea?

BREAKING: REAL LEADERSHIP! Governor J.B. Pritzker announces a full PAUSE on the state's AI data center incentives as public backlash grows — brilliantly upstaging Trump.

While Democrats grab this issue by the horns, Republicans are raking in corrupt tech money...

“Illinois has an opportunity to continue leading in technological innovation and economic growth, but we also have a responsibility to protect working families and local communities as the data center industry rapidly expands,” stated Pritzker.

“I am directing my administration to pause the processing of data center agreements while we continue working with the General Assembly and stakeholders on a comprehensive framework that protects affordability, safeguards our natural resources, and ensures responsible growth across Illinois,” he continued.

The governor's freeze on AI tax incentives takes effect in July and will allow the state to properly assess the effects of these centers on local communities. These behemothic AI compounds consume massive amounts of electricity, driving up costs for consumers. They also cause noise pollution that dramatically lowers quality of life and hoover up dwindling water supplies that should be going towards sustaining life.

Simply put: Nobody wants to live next to one of these things.

Do you think other blue state governors should follow Pritzker's lead?

Please ❤️ and share to thank Pritzker!

BREAKING: The Trump administration is putting every state on notice in a massive crackdown on Medicaid fraud.

FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson just announced that Hawaii has been officially decertified for failing to enforce the law and address the fraud problem plaguing the state.

"Everyone is on notice. And today, Hawaii is being decertified for its abject failure to enforce state and federal law to prohibit fraud."
