Many of the people these kids help are elderly and often spend much of their time alone. Their family families may live far away, and they don’t always have regular interaction or someone stopping by to check in. So when a child from the 50 Yard Challenge comes to mow their lawn, it becomes more than just a service, it becomes a moment of connection.
After the lawn is finished, many of these kids take the time to talk, listen, and simply be present. They hear stories about life, family, and memories from years past. For that homeowner, it may be one of the few conversations they have that week. What starts as mowing a lawn turns into something much deeper—a reminder that someone cares.

Why are we on the wrong side of this abhorrent war started completely by Russia?

This is what a maternity hospital in Odesa looks like after a Russian attack. Russia has attacked countless maternity homes and hospitals in Ukraine. This is pure genocide.

@Contexto_Visual No me importa si es IA, me parece precioso el cuento y hace un buen punto.

El nadador británico Rob Howens estaba en el agua con su hija pequeña frente a la Isla Norte de Nueva Zelanda cuando un grupo de delfines los rodeó de forma inesperada.
Según testigos y socorristas, los delfines formaron un círculo cerrado alrededor de ambos, guiándolos repetidamente hacia la orilla. Poco , se avistó cerca un tiburón blanco, de aproximadamente tres metros de largo.
Durante unos 30 a 40 minutos, los delfines mantuvieron su formación, utilizando golpes de cola y movimientos bruscos para ahuyentar al tiburón. Solo se dispersaron cuando el animal se alejó, permitiendo que los nadadores regresaran a salvo.
Este encuentro suele citarse como un poderoso ejemplo de la inteligencia social de los delfines y de su comportamiento coordinado de protección hacia los humanos.

For about a decade, Shay Taylor-Allen walked the halls of Yale New Haven Hospital as a janitor.
Soon, she’ll walk the halls of the hospital again — this time wearing a white coat, after matching into an anesthesiology residency. wapo.st/3NtgqTx

🇺🇦 Ukrainian soldiers are still heading to the front lines, one rotation after another, no slowing down
Every move forward takes commitment, knowing exactly what they’re walking into, and still going anyway
Wish them safety and victory, they’re the ones carrying this fight every single day 🙏

@ZelenskyyUa And we’re on the wrong side of this story. Why? Just why?
English

Last night, the Russians launched a massive strike on Odesa. There was no military purpose whatsoever – this was pure terror against ordinary civilian life. Over 60 drones were used in the strike on the city. Sadly, there is extensive damage. Among the sites hit were a maternity hospital, ordinary residential buildings, businesses, as well as the port and critical infrastructure. Our services continue to work on the ground wherever needed, providing assistance. Tragically, as of now, one person has been reported killed. My condolences to their family and loved ones. More than ten people have been wounded, including a child. There were also strikes overnight in the Poltava and Dnipro regions.
Each such strike proves that Russia has no intention of ending this war. That is why any easing of pressure on it is dangerous. And coordinated efforts to protect people and lives will help us, help our country’s defense and our diplomacy. I thank all our partners who are working with us and supporting our people. We are working with everyone to give our country more strength and more capacity to protect life in Ukraine every day and every night: our cities and villages, our infrastructure. Collective defense and coordinated action can deliver the most effective results.

🚨This is what ICE calls an “arrest”…
In McKinney, Texas, five ICE agents are piled on top of one man, face down on the ground.
He’s not visibly fighting back.
And yet, one agent has him in a chokehold… while four others are kneeling on his body, pinning him down.
Then, out of nowhere, the agent tightens the chokehold… and hits him in the face.
While he’s already restrained… While four grown agents are already on top of him.
That is excessive force.
A chokehold on a restrained person… that alone is dangerous. People die like that.
Having multiple officers on top of someone’s back, while they’re face down… that’s how you cut off someone’s ability to breathe.
And then hitting him while he’s pinned down?
That’s punishment. That’s abuse of force.
There is a line… even during an arrest.
And piling onto a man who isn’t resisting, restricting his breathing, and striking him in the face while he’s restrained… crosses it.
Badly.
Because if five agents can’t restrain one man without choking him and hitting him…
then this was never about safety.
It was about control.
And people should be outraged.

@NewsHour I believe Trump hates Zelensky personally because he turned him down on launching an investigation into Biden. Our foreign policy, implemented in the name of every American, is driven by the fragile ego of one man.
English

Earlier this month, President Donald Trump said he didn’t want Ukraine’s help with drone defense, saying Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was the last person he’d turn to. But with the war in Iran continuing, countries in the Gulf have been lining up for Ukraine’s guidance on how to counter drones.

Truly despicable. Support our enemy and snub our ally allowing its people to be slaughtered.
