A Galapagos sea lion named Panchita was caught up in a net, which left deep cuts all over her body. She managed to get away and make it to this hotel, where animal advocates lovingly nursed her back to health for three months.
A special bond was formed between Panchita and her rescuers. After she was fully healed, Panchita was released back to her natural habitat in the wild but every day she returns to visit the humans who rescued her after being out at sea all day. - Julia Boyd Griffin

In 1938, Frederick McKinley Jones, a self-taught Black inventor with just an 8th-grade education, revolutionized global food logistics in creating the first refrigeration system for trucks, an invention that became the foundation of Thermo King.

During World War II, his cooling units preserved food and medical supplies for troops overseas, saving countless lives. Today, his legacy lives on in every refrigerated truck, helping feed the world with fresh produce year-round. - Black American Pride

It has come to this. Governor Tony Evers of Wisconsin has issued guidance to state employees advising them what and what not to do when encountering federal agents at their workplace. This is a clap back over ICE overreach. Other blue state leaders take heed. - Jay Kuo

Epic response.

From Crimea giveaways to Texas voucher scams, Trump and his allies are proving that authoritarianism doesn’t just bomb cities, it guts communities, gaslights democracy, and calls it reform. - Mary Geddry

"True ignorance is not the absence of knowledge, but the refusal to acquire it." - Karl Popper

This is mass surveillance of a vulnerable population, built on the same rotten foundation of anti-vaccine pseudoscience that Kennedy has peddled for years.

And it hits me in the gut because my oldest grandchild is autistic. - Mary Geddry

How is it possible that a business genius with 6 bankruptcies under his belt could destroy the US economy in less than 90 days? - The Resistance

The U.S. Constitution I swore an oath to uphold and defend (when I joined the Army National Guard and later as an elected city official) provides for the right to due process. Fuck you, Gorka.

“Fighting for due process puts us on the ‘side’ of the Constitution and the rule of law, not on the side of gangs and criminals. Sebastian Gorka is a fascist.” - Jay Kuo

Cartoon by Dave Whammond.

Donny Convict has been going hog wild with his Full-Blown Fascism Tour — shredding constitutional rights, ignoring court orders, and generally shitting every democratic principle we hold dear.
a big part of Donny’s crime spree has been bullying universities — vowing to cut their funding unless they agree to do fun things like crush freedom of speech, and allow ‘outside observers’ to make sure that ‘subversive’ ideas aren’t being taught. - Jeff Tiedrich

we keep being told that these are the finest financial minds in the world, but all that ever comes out of their mouths is incoherent twaddle — and none of these chickenfuckers can keep their stories straight for five consecutive minutes. - Jeff Tiedrich

She was something else, whether it was stuff like this or later as the first female war correspondent, taking fire in Italy, being the first female photographer to fly a combat mission in a U.S. Army Air Force B-17 Flying Fortress and documenting the U.S. Army’s liberation of the Nazi concentration camp at Buchenwald: Margaret Bourke-White, photographer for LIFE magazine, prepares to take a photo from one of the eagles on the 61st floor of the Chrysler Building in New York City in 1934.
