BREAKING: Connecticut Governor @NedLamont just signed a bill that limits what ICE can and cannot do.
Every state in America should get behind this legislation!
For too long, NJ TRANSIT riders have been promised change.
We’re finally delivering the results they deserve – opening the new Portal North Bridge, unveiling new rail cars and buses, and speeding up long overdue improvements to the commuter experience.
There’s more work to do, and we’re committed to building a transit system that delivers for New Jersey.
Question for MAGA from a liberal woman. "Hi, I'm just wondering if you guys who voted for Trump — did you vote for the Department of Education to be dismantled? Because that's what he's doing right now.
MAGA?
@covie_93 Clarence was a smart guy. Number 11 in his class at Holy Cross( a school with a lot of smart kids). He went to Yale Law before the big Affirmative Action movement. Might not agree with him but a different group than the Michelle Obama type.
Clarence Thomas walked through every open door created for him because of his race then shut them all behind him so no one else can get the same opportunities he did.
When the vikings first arrived in Iceland in 9th Century CE, they discovered a coarse yet manageable new world ripe for the picking, uninhabited but for a few Gaelic monks on the southern coast. This strange, rugged land was worthy of conquering and survival over their scandinavian homeland stricken with civil strife and running short on arable land. That force of adventure, strength and resourefulness in a new land cultivated Iceland’s ancient survivalist architecture.
It was and still is a vast territory with dramatic rising glacial ranges from moonscape fields that run into coastal beaches of black sand and a land of no native timber. Where necessity became and still is the mother of invention. Homes were constructed of turf and drift wood that would wash upon the shores as well as from the endless supply of lava stones abound in the fields. Stone constrution also proved functionally sensible in this frequent earthquake prone environment, as homes could then “easily” be cobbled back together.
These buildings still exist at the ancient homestead of Keldur in Iceland’s southeastern region. This last remaining and fully intact early settlement farmstead can be found mentioned in Sagas from 12th Century CE. Traditionally a clan would head the farm with extended family living and working on site. Originally all living in the long house, there is evidence to think that a sudden and drastic climate change caused the move to smaller residential spaces to be built and long houses to be divided up to make easier to heat. Additions and improvements at Keldur had been made over the centuries, but the original main hearth room still bears the dirt floors and ancient timbers with fascinating hints of traditional communal living. A tunnel discovered in 1930’s runs from the main hearth room to the nearby small river and was thought to be for defensive purposes. Inside smaller spaces were formed originally for cooking and food storage and a connecting string of smaller turf structures served as various work and storage spaces such as a smithy, a mill, and livestock corral. Newest addition from early 19th Century remains near intact from it’s former glory, furnished with beautiful and simplistic folk furnishings and the silence combined with the spirits of those who still long remain at Keldur.
The last owner, whos family had farmed Keldur for almost two Centuries, knew of its great importance to Icelandic heritage and over the years had collected much history on the site. In 1942, he sold Keldur and his extensive collection to the National Museum of Iceland who continue to care for and manage this amazing historic site.
Upwards of 200 of these man-made caves with wooden or cobbled facades are scattered about 90 farms in the region used over the centuries for storing hay,corralling livestock, smithy’s and even for trade. Forty one of these caves are now protected sites, but many still in use today. We stopped roadside on HWY 1 at Rútshellir, and explored this t-shaped ‘building’. The front entrance to the turf structure is a feeding area for sheep, then stepping up into the cave (approx 6’ft tall and 10 ft wide) where they take shelter. Walking up the left side exterior is an entrance to another connecting cave space much smaller and where a smithy had a shop for many years. Yet another example of Iceland’s people understanding and using Mother Nature to their benefit through their ancient survivalist architecture.

One brave White girl with pigtails gets jumped by a female thug on the street.
She doesn’t run. She doesn’t cry. She drops the aggressor, gets on top, and starts handing out the business like it’s personal. Absolute warrior. Then?
Shocking! Who could’ve possibly predicted?
The rest of the pack (4-5 deep) swarms in like it’s feeding time. Hair-pulling, kicking, full mob mode on one lone girl who was already winning the fair fight. Diversity is our strength… especially when it’s 5-on-1 and the solo fighter is White.
Cowards stay cowards. Pack animals stay pack animals. Real respect to the girl who fought like a champ against the odds. The rest? Pathetic.

I’m introducing two new bills to tax the ultra-rich and multinational corporations. This is how we pay for the healthcare, education, public transit, and other safety net programs working families deserve. TAX THE RICH!
@Nick2E0LUN@archeohistories Isn't it Christian Era? Based on the Christian calendar?
There is a Chinese calendar and a Hebrew calendar.
AD was a better suffix.
Older generations say “we all struggled in our 20s.”
No, you didn’t.
You didn’t pay $3,100 rent and $10 eggs.
You didn’t graduate with $60K debt and no job security.
Gen Z isn’t dramatic.
They’re drowning.
Sadly, Spirit was doomed by soaring fuel costs caused by Trump’s war—along with his earlier COVID failings. Workers, air travelers, investors, customers, communities & more are casualties of his expanding economic crater. nbcnews.com/business/consu…
In the richest country on Earth, no one should have to sell their blood to afford groceries and rent.
No one should have to ration lifesaving medicines because they can’t afford them.
Republicans have taken a broken system and made it a whole lot worse.
Meet Chase Matthews, a 2025 senior at Westlake High School in Georgia, was accepted into 155 colleges…. at least one in every U.S. state , earning a remarkable $6 million in scholarship offers.
A shining example of excellence and determination! 👏🏾
An entire store of Black people watched as a violent Black man ROBBED and ATTACKED a White man.
A Black lady recorded and laughed.
The White man repeated, “I am just trying to get to work,” as the Black man emptied the White man’s pockets and put him in a headlock.
The White man works for it; the Black man feels entitled to it even with force.
@MiaForTrump But Michelle said she didn't belong. She was admitted because she was black. She said her objective tests scores on SAT and LSAT were crappy.
The most educated First Lady in the history of the United States is a Black woman with Ivy League degrees from Princeton and Harvard, married to an Ivy League lawyer.
The least educated is a pr*stitute, married to a ped*phile.
Which one do you support?
