@Whale_Sanctuary hello, I am unable to donate through the website. I have filled out all the relevant info but there is no final “donate” button to push this transaction through. Thank you!

@BarbarianPres Correct. And at least 22 states had laws and amendments that were already primed to be enacted and quickly used to ban abortions in this eventuality.

@CraigScholz Well, would you look at that 😍

Day 1

@NicoleJMFile @united *plane

@NicoleJMFile @united It was truly despicable. Add to that the fact we all paid for on-board WiFi that never worked for the entire back of the place and the staff rudely shrugged us off and told us to just ask for refunds. V. Disappointed @united

To the horrible shrew at @united who incompetently then purposely delayed our check-in: we made it despite your smug words “You’ve already missed your flight.” Tx for intentionally keeping someone’s boarding pass behind ur desk & handing 2 passes for the same person. @AmyALaPorte

The first causality of this horrific situation. I expect the plan to teach these boys— some of whom can’t swim— to spelunk is derailed by the death of this Navy SEAL diver twitter.com/cnnbrk/status/…

It is a rare and moving moment when the control room inside the #CNN newsroom falls silent. This was the exact moment one week ago that 5 journalists at the #CapitalGazette violently lost their lives. We honor them.

@amesscapgaz are you safe Anthony?

"I should’ve died in my 20s. I became successful in my 40s. I became a dad in my 50s. I feel like I’ve stolen a car — a really nice car — and I keep looking in the rearview mirror for flashing lights."- Tony

*Bourdain. Urgh. Sorry Tony, but I know even you needed a good copy editor every now and then

The world has lost one of its finest storytellers today. CNN‘s Anthony Bordain has taken his life at the age of 61. Tony was the best kind of wry. A rule-breaker, a visionary and a true wild heart. If you or anyone you know if suffering from depression, please seek help

Always a good start to the day when the fabulous #CNN glam squad take the reigns 💇🏼‍♀️: @kellsgraham 💄: @pnkdigger

@Lil_Popsicle @naimeiyao Urgh. That made me uncomfortable to read :(

@naimeiyao @AmyALaPorte What action would you propose to avoid inaction in the future?

One month ago the students of #SantaFeHighSchool staged a walkout, to protest gun violence. Spurred by the school shooting in Parkland Florida that left 17 dead. They held signs that read "never again". Yet today, on these same school grounds it *did* happen again.

The most common cause of female infertility – polycystic ovary syndrome – may be caused by a hormonal imbalance before birth. The finding has led to a cure in mice, and a drug trial is set to begin in women later this year. #PCOS #link_time=1526310534" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">newscientist.com/article/216870…
