85% paralyzed Iranian artist Fatemeh paints breathtaking portraits with her feet — including her idol, Cristiano Ronaldo.
Then CR7 surprised her in person, gifted her a signed jersey, and shared a warm hug. ❤️
Adam Hoffman, a Waco lawyer, sexually abused a boy for over three years. He was initially facing life in prison, but thanks to his friend Ken Paxton, his sentence was reduced to a misdemeanor, resulting in only 60 days in jail after a guilty plea. The boy's mother expressed her pain, stating that the plea only reflects a fraction of the harm done.
“What the Roberts Court is making possible,” @AdamSerwer argues, “is a country where white people can maintain their political dominance at the expense of Americans who are not white.” He examines what to expect following the Voting Rights Act ruling: https://t.co/SBcrFEqURv

One of Ken Paxton's friends sexually abused a child for 3 years and Ken made sure he only got 30 days in jail
Something makes me think "Corrupt Ken protects his violent child rapist friends" will make for a pretty effective Democratic ad in a few months

The Secret of My Laughter - A student asks His Holiness the Dalai Lama the secret behind his famous childlike laughter. His answer is disarmingly simple: a relaxed mind, no ego, and the understanding that we are all the same human beings. He explains how seeing yourself as "something special" creates stress and anxiety, while honesty, humility, and transparency are the true foundations of inner peace. Video originally recorded on May 31, 2014.

Imagine not seeing the hypocrisy in claiming to be passing a “protect free speech” bill while banning student walkouts.
That’s @GinoBulso and the @TNGOP for ya! https://t.co/KVEiXaQjkM
The thing I hated most about Rangers move across the street was moving into a dome. Team said it’s not a dome, it’s a retractable roof. It’s 74 degrees with an expected high of 77. No threat of rain. Roof closed.
It’s a dome.
I don’t think people realize how much healthcare costs are driving big companies to fire and not hire.
It costs them $30k per family, per year for premiums and care. Most of that goes to the massive, vertically integrated insurance companies that send weekly bills that no one reviews in details. And it doesn’t include the company overhead to deal with it all. It’s usually the 2nd largest expense after payroll. Which is insane
It’s far easier to blame AI than it is to blame Healthcare costs.
Want to increase jobs, wages and improve affordability for every American ?
Break up the biggest insurance companies. Make divest non insurance companies. They don’t need thousands of subsidiaries. That’s how they game and abuse the system and increase costs for all of us.
Call your senator and tell them to support the BreakUp Big Medicine Bill by @HawleyMO and @SenWarren.
I hiked and camped in beautiful Big Bend National Park years ago. This thread and linked articles have details on how the Trump administration is moving forward with building a wall through the park and has awarded a contract. There is bipartisan opposition in Texas to this.
Truly, literally, every single business in rural Terlingua, TX is speaking out against the Big Bend border wall in a universally nonpartisan manner with everything they’ve got. One coffee shop built a massive replica wall with a canoe on top saying “STOP THE STEEL.”
The Texas A&M Board of Regents’ claim that they are simply following the will of taxpayers to censor topics on race overlooks a fundamental reality: I am a Black man and a taxpayer, and I do not support the use of my public funds against me, my interests, or my values.
Taxpayers are not a monolith, and invoking them as a unified justification erases the diversity of views that actually exists. Public institutions should not be guided by a narrow interpretation of taxpayer will—especially when doing so risks compromising core principles such as academic freedom, open inquiry, and democracy.
