The Amish have just a 4% obesity rate—9x lower than most Americans. They're less anxious and live longer than most of us. Their secret? Not restrictive diets, gyms, or fitness trackers. But 10 simple habits that let them age without decline:🧵

Where are all the ‘don’t tread on me’ and ‘small government’ and ‘libertarian’ folks on the right? All weirdly silent. Hypocrites, all of them.

Russia pounds civilian targets in Ukraine, a country Putin invaded for conquest. Ukraine responds by attacking the bases from which these raids had been launched, and the President Donald J. Trump blames UKRAINE for provocation?!? He called Russia's invasion "genius." He's STILL on Putin's side.

We knew this was coming eventually. An Afghan — a soldier who fought alongside U.S. troops — who entered the country legally and had asylum protection is abducted by ICE, leaving his kids without a father and his family devastated in Houston.

🚨A father held by ICE screams for his son. My translation: "Help me. Help me. Help me. BRAYAN! Ay, no. Help me. Help. Help. Ay, no. Help. Help. Help. Help me. Help me" In the background, there is a sound like a child shouting back to him. I make out the words "papa, papa!"

US support for Netanyahu’s war of starvation against the Palestinian people is a horror unto itself. It also sends a signal to every tyrant in the world that international law can be violated with impunity & that barbarism is acceptable.  We must stop all military aid to Israel.

This is so wrong. All to feed the ego of a mad tyrant who never had the balls to serve. This is not what we do in America. This is so fucking wrong. Makes me so sad. And so angry.👇

EXCLUSIVE Starlink was installed at The White House over objection of security officials who feared foreign hacking -- and still do. WH claimed Starlink would fix "dead" zones at complex; but Post sources say it was so DOGE could transmit reams of data. Joseph Menn

I loathe Musk as much as anyone else but for a sitting president to openly threaten a private citizen over what political donations he or she chooses to make is a reminder of how authoritarian this country is becoming by the day - by the hour even!

Police wearing masks and blue jeans. Thugs. This atrocity in our country is brought to you by Donald Trump, Stephen Miller, and their morally bankrupt toadies, enablers, billionaire oligarchs, and evangelical hypocrites. With no effective checks to keep them from coming at you.
