If these numbers were the opposite, if homicides were up 19% so far this year it would be the number one, or at least top three domestic story.

Some of these videos are of children carrying other children to try and get them help. There is no humanity in those who carry out these bombings or those who turn a blind eye to the atrocities.

Sending so much love to victims of domestic violence and abuse. I know that video will be incredibly triggering to watch. Please take time offline today if you need it. ♥️

Except Israel has repeatedly rejected ceasefire deals that Hamas agreed to. It's disgusting that the State Department is peddling these lies while at the same time Biden has said there's "every reason" to believe Netanyahu is prolonging the war for political gain.

Let’s stop calling these heat waves and call it what it is: global warming. It’s been 90+ degrees for the past month. We’ve been breaking temperature records every day.

Vice President Kamala Harris is a proud mom of two remarkable stepchildren—and so am I. Captain Mark Kelly and I were trying to have a baby through IVF before I was shot and that dream was stolen from us. To suggest we are somehow lesser is disgraceful.

Transphobia, misogyny and good old plain racism. For many athletes, not fitting into arbitrary gender norms creates this whirling dervish of bigotry, harassment and abuse.

Rajoub was today arrested by the IDF. had his passport seized, and brought to a military interrogation center upon his return to the West Bank from Paris. His crime seems to be his insistence that Israel be barred from the Olympics. This response by Israel kinda proves his point.

I pray that Marcellus Williams feels no pain and that he feels no fear. My heart hurts and I can’t say that the system failed him because the system was never created to save people who look like him. A system that perpetuates this is a system that should not exist.

What does it say about our legal system when the U.S. Supreme Court refuses to stop an execution even when the county prosecuting agency that handled the original trial files a brief in support of a stay and supports vacating the entire conviction? #MarcellusWilliams

Your daily reminder that Medicare for All would save 68,000 lives and $650 billion dollars each and every year, per Yale and the Republican Director of the Congressional Budget Office.

Very cool the way Target just locks everything up now and then no one answers the sensors that are supposed to call for help. Second time recently I've just ditched target to shop elsewhere because of this - why drive 20 minutes to get totally ignored?
