“The church I go to is the one that emancipated the slaves, gave women the right to vote. It gave us every freedom we hold dear. My church is this very Chapel of Democracy. And I do not need God to tell me what are my moral absolutes. I need my heart, my brain, and this church.”
On this date in 2008 and 2024, the Boston Celtics won their 17th and 18th NBA championships, respectively.
Boston's 18 titles are the most in NBA history ☘️

I just witnessed the best all around team performance in the NBA Playoffs so far by the Boston Celtics in their victory over the Philadelphia 76ers 128-96! Their defense was amazing and offensively they made a total of 24 3’s! The Celtics big three were fantastic - Tatum had 30 points, Brown had 20 points and Pritchard was the man that had the crowd going crazy with his dynamic 32 points off the bench! Celtics Coach Joe Mazzulla has his team playing their best basketball at the right time!
The Moon isn't just a rock in the sky. It's the reason you exist.
Without it, Earth would wobble out of control. Days would shrink to a few chaotic hours. Tides would vanish. Life as we know it would never have evolved.
It sits 238,855 miles away at 2,288 mph
And the wild part: it's slowly escaping. The Moon moves about 3.8 centimeters farther from Earth every single year.
Its surface holds footprints that will outlast every human civilization. With no wind, no rain, no erosion, the boot prints from Apollo 11 in 1969 are still perfectly preserved up there.
The same Moon that lit up the path of every ancient traveler is the exact one glowing outside your window tonight.
Caesar saw it. Cleopatra saw it. Your great-great-grandparents saw it.
It has watched empires rise, oceans shift, and entire species come and go, all without saying a word.
A silent witness to everything.
We see you, @NASAEarth
Here's a view of the extraordinary Blue Planet and its moon, taken by the HiRISE instrument aboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. Happy Earth Day!

What the Artemis II astronauts did over the last 10 days was a testament to their bravery. And the fact that they traveled farther from Earth than anyone ever has, re-entered our atmosphere at more than 24,000 mph, and splashed down safely was a testament to human ingenuity. Thanks to everyone at @NASA for making this mission possible, and for taking us along for the ride.
Hello, Moon. It’s great to be back.
Here’s a taste of what the Artemis II astronauts photographed during their flight around the Moon. Check out more photos from the mission: https://t.co/rzM1P0QbOl
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.
Global energy markets are on edge, and Trump is pouring fuel on the fire. His war with Iran is driving prices up worldwide.
Families can't afford to wait for Washington. Massachusetts is moving fast to build American energy and lower bills — for good. https://t.co/q82TN734Wf
Regional collaboration is key to meeting growing energy demand. Supporting existing nuclear and exploring advanced technologies with our neighbor states will help us deliver more reliable, affordable power to New England residents.
Massachusetts families are paying too much for energy — and lowering bills is our top priority.
Today, I signed an Executive Order to bring enough new energy into our state to power 2 million homes and save $10 billion.
We’re saying yes to every kind of energy AND lower energy bills.
By building more energy resources with a fixed price, we can give MA a competitive edge while the world struggles with massive price spikes.
We’re going to work as a region to power our communities and ensure reliable service, regardless of what happens on the federal level.
