This simple monument overlooking Loch nan

We lost Angelina yesterday. Giving her a dignified send off was important.
Just as important is her bonded partner Bob who is suffering.
Dogs really are remarkable creatures…. (1/8)🧵
The beloved Mariam Abu Dagga left behind this will to her son. She was murdered today at Nasser Hospital while doing her journalistic work covering a prior airstrike on the hospital. Heartbroken. (1/4)
On Saturday in Delhi, India I saw him getting beaten by a man. He collapsed in front of me.
It hasn’t been easy but 4 days later he is alive and progressing.
The miracle could be on 🤞… (1/8) 🧵
Francesca Albanese in heroic defiance:
“The endgame is to silence me”
“To witness this genocide is unbearable”
“All who have witnessed will need therapy”
“But right now Palestinians 🇵🇸 are being ethnically cleansed”
“And all focus must be to make it stop”
Stand with Francesca.
The first picture I was ever sent of Jada.
A street dog terrified of humans. Locals could see her growth expanding by the day.
It’s hard to believe the progress today… (1/8)🧵
Britney Spears was one of the hardest rescues I’ve ever done.
She had been chained up and dumped with her puppies. She tried to bite everybody she came in contact with.
It took 3 years but to see her today is incredible… (1/7) 🧵
July 20, 1969. “Contact light, engine stop.” The Apollo 11 lunar module Eagle touched down at Tranquility Base on the Moon.
A few hours later, Neil Armstrong and I stepped foot on the Moon, with Michael Collins orbiting close-by.
An achievement resulting from years of incalculable effort, commitment, and team work.
We all did our part to see President Kennedy’s words become reality: “We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard; because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one we intend to win, and the others too.”
I couldn’t be prouder to have completed this mission with the hundreds of thousands of people that helped get us to the moon and back home. God bless the USA and all of humankind.
