Imagine you're in a sudden disaster like a burning building, sinking ship, airplane crash, where your goal is to get out quickly before you die. Now, you would think that everyone around you would have the same goal, right? Researchers in disaster behavior know otherwise. 1/6

A sincere thank you to all countries that have supported the Kingdom of Denmark militarily, thereby helping to prevent a military takeover of Greenland by the President of the United States. Sincerely, Greenland 🇬🇱

I've decided that not a single acre of mountain land, agricultural land, forest, or wild desert is worth sacrificing for AI data centers. No river, no lake, no reservoir should be touched to maintain them.

California is beating its own climate goals ahead of schedule: ✅ Two-thirds of the state grid powered by clean energy ✅ More than 2.5M electric vehicles ✅ 201K public chargers (more than gas nozzles) ✅ 17,000 MW of battery storage (2nd only to China) The cynics said it couldn't be done.

BREAKING: Illinois Governor JB Pritzker says the plan for “Project 2029” is to have the Trump administration criminally prosecuted.

One of the new goals of the far right is to make it harder for women to vote. The SAVE Act, which the Senate is debating now, would be a major vehicle to achieve that goal. Spread the word about why we need to stop SAVE. indivisible.org/actions/stop-s…

The NDP and Liberals are re-upping their calls for public investigations into Metrolinx, citing @Thetrilliumca's reporting this week. #onpoli thetrillium.ca/insider-news/m…

The Trump Administration attempted to make an example of Minnesota during Operation Metro Surge. Instead, Minnesotans set an example for the rest of the country that decency and compassion will always triumph over fear and division.

BREAKING: An oil refinery in Haifa, Israel has reportedly been hit by Iranian missiles. By the time this war is over Energy infrastructure across the globe will be decimated. Trump did this.

If we don’t eat the rich, they will continue to consume us. It’ll never be enough for people like Bezos. Never enough money, acquisitions, or power, no matter the cost to the human life around him. He and every other billionaire are parasitic sociopaths.

The ppl of Ontario did NOT CONSENT to @fordnation selling out our Healthcare to his US DaddyDJT. Ford is clearly working to further American interests, NOT for the interests of the ppl of this province. Doug Ford is MAGA! He must RESIGN🚨🚨 #FireDougFord #Traitor #DougFordIsMAGA

California is proof you don’t have to choose between a strong economy and clean energy. The world’s 4th largest economy has run on clean power 9 out of 10 days, while cutting greenhouse gas emissions 21% and growing 81%.

The President of the United States said I insulted Jesus. You want to know what insults Jesus? Kicking the sick off their healthcare. Bombing schoolchildren in Iran. Deporting moms and babies. Covering up the Epstein files.

The world’s eyes are on the situation in the Middle East and the Gulf region. The Iranian regime’s constant strikes against its neighbors are significantly destabilizing markets and disrupting critically important energy supply routes. Many around the world are now speaking about the protection of energy facilities, the inadmissibility of energy terror against entire nations, and free and safe navigation. All of this is indeed a global interest. Many of these statements repeat what Ukraine was saying back in 2022 and 2023 about Russia’s naval blockade of our ports and its attempts to deprive us of access to global trade. For years, Russia has been doing to our energy system the same thing the Iranian regime is now doing to infrastructure in its own region. There can be no other motive for such deliberate aggression against energy – whether it is Russian strikes on our power plants and gas production, or the current strikes by the Iranian regime against everyone around it – other than to inflict suffering on entire nations. That is why it is so important that global cooperation, at least now, is able to provide real security responses for everyone, including Europe. Strikes by the remnants of the Iranian regime against Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the Emirates, and other countries are in essence strikes against global stability and Europe’s energy security. Ukraine is ready to join common security initiatives to stabilize the situation as quickly as possible. Ukraine has long proposed creating realistic and effective instruments to hold accountable those who block maritime trade routes, destroy normal navigation, and target energy infrastructure. Ukraine endured this winter under Russian strikes. The Middle East and the Gulf region are now facing the same evil. Russia and the Iranian regime are not helping each other by chance. They must be stopped, and it is the responsibility of every world leader to ensure real stability and guarantee security. Together, we are undoubtedly stronger.

WATCH: New video shows Donald Trump patting this Secret Service agent on the Butt! It looks like she was very uncomfortable being touch by him! 😳 Donald Trump shouldn’t be nowhere near any women!

U.S. nursing homes are fabricating schizophrenia diagnoses to hide their use of dangerous antipsychotic drugs to subdue dementia patients, a government watchdog report found. The drugs increase risk of falls, strokes and death. wapo.st/4tfSUsr

My new research is out "Overview and Pathophysiology of Long Covid" I provide an updated overview of key concepts, terminology and epidemiology of LC. I also offer an analysis of key mechanisms of pathology and multi-organ involvement in #LongCovid mdpi.com/2673-8112/6/3/…

I'm still masking because it's the best tool I have as an individual to protect my health baseline in public, until we decide that #AirSanitation is important as a society #MaskUp

REPORTED: EGYPTIAN ARMY IS BUILDING UP IN SINAI ISSUES WARNING TO ISRAEL TO STOP AGGRESSION ON LEBANON OR EGYPT WILL INTERVENE

“Never in my entire time as an MPP has someone told me they wanted a luxury spa in downtown Toronto, a fantasy island, or a highway under the 401. What I’ve heard from Ontarians is that they want hallway health care fixed, an extra educator in their child’s classroom, and safer highways.” That’s exactly why we launched our Budget Report Card - to hold this government accountable on the issues that actually matter. Because if this budget doesn’t deliver on lowering costs, fixing public services, and building real opportunities, it simply doesn’t pass the test.

🇳🇱🇪🇺 King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands has piloted a KLM Boeing 737 for the last time. No one knew he had been doing it for 30 years, in anonymity: the king, in fact, had co-piloted commercial flights for KLM, going by another name, Meneer van Buren. His colleagues knew, but always maintained the utmost discretion about what happened in the cockpit. ✈️
