@IAmAmnaNawaz I’m so sorry for your loss. Dogs make us better humans. Hugs.

On my way to #Israel to report on the war.

I got on the @airfrance flight & the entire crew was singing in Hebrew. Caught this tearful moment as people boarded.

The flight attendant Jean Paul hugged people including me. I nearly burst into tears too.
#Love still wins.

Simply the best. Music legend Tina Turner sparkled across the stage and into millions of hearts as the Queen of Rock 'n' Roll. Her legacy will forever live among the stars.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Tina Turner was raw. She was powerful. She was unstoppable. And she was unapologetically herself—speaking and singing her truth through joy and pain; triumph and tragedy. Today we join fans around the world in honoring the Queen of Rock and Roll, and a star whose light will never fade.

We are down in #Antarctica in the middle of winter, south of the Antarctic Circle, and it’s 8.6C (47.5F). This is not ok… There is no ice. We need to do better.

@NCReserve Female and male PB’s at our feeders- on the Newport River in Beaufort. They love white millet.

Meanwhile over on Shackleford Banks yesterday -- Our biologist and the VIP helping her spotted the first foal of the season following its mother. Although we don't know its exact birthdate, it's under a week old. Welcome little one!

@spoggioli1 @NPR Thank you for your wonderful reporting over the years. I will miss your voice and the sound of you saying your name.❤️

An endangered North Atlantic right whale just washed ashore in Virginia Beach - the fourth death in the region this year. Congress recently stripped protections for this whale because of pressure from the lobster industry. Lobster trapping gear is the #1 cause of whale deaths.

AG @JoshStein_ today urged the @US_FDA to approve over-the-counter birth control pills that meet safety & efficacy standards, that would remove barriers that currently keep many people from being able to access safe and timely reproductive care. https://t.co/hxx4MXnq8i

Over four years ago, Brian protested with March For Our Lives to demand action on gun violence in our schools and communities.

This week, he was shot in both hands and through his neck by an AR-15 at his school in St. Louis. He jumped out of a window to save his life.

Thank you to everyone who is watching out for the safety of the horses and visitors on Shackleford Banks. These visitors were cited BY PHOTO for wildlife harassment. The horse communicated its annoyance (see the photo) and kicked the woman.

[New England Aquarium @NEAQ]

Last year, #RightWhale "Snow Cone" gave birth to a calf while actively entangled in fishing gear. Since the recent sighting without her calf, an analysis by Aquarium scientists determined her condition has worsened over the past three months.
