🚨BREAKING: There is NO water in The Rio Grande?! I’m standing here in New Mexico and the river is completely DRY. Nearby AI data centers are consuming massive amounts of water to keep their systems cool. Meta’s Los Lunas facility alone has reportedly been tied to roughly 75 million gallons of water usage per year connected to Rio Grande resources and it’s only ONE of many projects expanding across the state. People can argue over the exact numbers, but one thing is undeniable… these facilities require enormous amounts of water and there are more data centers across the country being built as we speak. This is starting to look like an environmental disaster in plain sight. We need to put pressure on local representatives and the President to examine this environmental crisis before it’s too late.

“She flew to Mar-a-Lago. She flew to the inauguration. She has been on MAGA podcasts in USA. Danielle Smith is playing a very dangerous game and like Trump don’t pay attention to what she says - pay attention to what she does!” 🇨🇦OShow youtu.be/3RomE0SKQcY?si… #Cndpoli #Abpoli

👰 THE RUSSIANS WANTED TO BURN THE DRESS, BUT INSTEAD THEY SET THE HEARTS OF MILLIONS OF UKRAINIAN WOMEN ON FIRE! ❤️🔥 During the horrific nighttime attack on Kyiv, Dasha’s wedding dress—which she had just dropped off to be altered—was completely DESTROYED by fire at the “Kvadrat” shopping mall. It seemed like TEARS, DESPAIR, AND A RUINED CELEBRATION... BUT WHAT HAPPENED NEXT will make you cry with joy! 😭 Our Ukrainian women simply BROKE THE INTERNET! In the comments under the bride’s post, girls from all over the country began MASSIVELY OFFERING their own wedding dresses ABSOLUTELY FREE OF CHARGE! “Consider this a ransom for a long, happy life,” they wrote. Someone even joked that with so many offers, Dasha could now OPEN HER OWN WEDDING SALON! ❤️‍🩹 And the ending to this fairy tale is simply incredible: the well-known brand VLADIYAN reached out to the girl and offered her ANY DRESS from their catalog as a gift! 👗 THE ENEMY BURNED THE FABRIC, BUT UKRAINIAN WOMEN ARE MADE OF STEEL AND GOODNESS! ⚔️🎀

On This Day — May 25, 1948 They put a bullet in the back of his head. The man they executed that day was Witold Pilecki — the only person in history who voluntarily walked into Auschwitz. In 1940, this Polish cavalry officer deliberately got himself arrested during a Nazi roundup in Warsaw. Using a false identity, he entered hell as prisoner #4859. For two and a half years, Pilecki lived as a starving skeleton in striped rags while secretly building a resistance network inside the camp. He smuggled out the first detailed eyewitness reports of the Nazi death machine to the Allies — gas chambers, selections, medical experiments, and the systematic murder of Jews. While he was there, more than 1,000 Jews per day were being gassed and burned. At its peak in 1944, the killing rate reached more than 6,000 per day. He saw it all. He documented it all. He risked everything so the world would know. In April 1943, Pilecki escaped by overpowering a guard at a bakery outside the wire. He rejoined the fight, battled in the Warsaw Uprising, and later resisted the Soviet occupation of Poland. For his courage, the communist regime tortured him, staged a show trial, and executed him on May 25, 1948. One of the great heroes of the 20th century. Remember his name: Witold Pilecki.

Every year, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring. They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died. France also gave us this land as American soil. #MemorialDayWeekend

In Canada we have so many lakes we gave up naming them after awhile 😅🇨🇦

Amid spring landscaping in residential apartment complexes in Moscow, residents are outraged as it appears the company providing filler soil has brought it fresh from a cemetery, complete with rotted clothing, jewelry from corpses and broken headstones.

@EliasToufexis It’s a great idea. British Columbia has already done this and it would be great to have the Pacific Northwest back on the same time zone again. Ending the change is way overdue.

There are pluses and minuses to this but I lean more towards it being a good idea. You?

There are still accounts saying 'this is just summer'. Actually, this is warmer than summers used to be. *And it's still only Spring*.

Trump says the Presidential Medal of Freedom is “much better” than the Congressional Medal of Honor because the Medal of Honor is for people who are “in very bad shape because they've been hit so many times by bullets or they're dead” while the Medal of Freedom is for “healthy, beautiful” people

Justice Minister @SeanFraserMP says metadata is phone book information and dismisses concerns regarding search implications. Plainly wrong.

Google's Bill C-22 submission has now been posted online. Calls for the removal of metadata retention, the elimination of secret ministerial orders, narrowing the scope of service providers, and providing explicit protection for encryption. ourcommons.ca/Content/Commit…

A shocking video of the aftermath of the attack on Lukyanivka in Kyiv has been published online. Horror and pain. Perpetrator: Russia.

How is it even possible that they’re about to spray glyphosate across Lake Tahoe’s national forests and it’s not front page news

Over a million acres of pristine wilderness lakes in Minnesota. The most visited canoe country in America. Generations of families have paddled it, fished it, camped it. The Senate just sold it out outright. They called it "America First." Then handed it to a Chilean billionaire — so his company can ship the copper to China. The Senate voted 50-49 to gut 20 years of Boundary Waters mining protections. Here's the deal they made. A Chilean billionaire's company digs the mine. America can't smelt the copper — we don't have the capacity. So the ore ships to China. China processes it. Sells it on the world market. Chile keeps the profits. Minnesotans don't even get the jobs. Minnesota keeps the pollution. And Americans get to buy it back from China at full market price. This same company has a documented history at their Chilean mines: pipeline spills, regulatory fines, and locals fighting back for years. They paid a former Trump Interior Secretary $380K. The protection died by one vote. Here's exactly how it happened — and who made it happen. Who do YOU think this mine actually serves? #DemsUnited

Look, world. Please look. This is Kyiv today after another russian attаck

Within days of launch, it received a surge of submissions over 1,600 in the first week, and reports of 1,800+ from 47 states shortly after Common Resident Complaints Being Logged - Water usage - Raising utility bills for residents - Noise pollution: Constant 24/7 humming from fans, generators, and cooling systems disrupting sleep, daily life, and wildlife. - E-waste from frequent hardware upgrades, pollution including PFAS concerns

National Chornobyl Museum. It was. I’m devastated

The staff at the shell-damaged Chornobyl Museum let me inside, and here’s what I saw there #Ukraine

Tonight, the Russians struck Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities and communities. The largest number of missiles was directed at the capital – at ordinary residential buildings, at schools; they burned down a food market, one of Kyiv’s oldest markets. The Russian strike effectively destroyed the Chornobyl Museum, damaged the National Art Museum and the building housing the office of Germany’s ARD. As of now, 69 people have been reported injured in the capital. Tragically, two people were killed in this senseless Russian attack. My condolences to everyone who has lost family members and loved ones. I have already spoken with the President of France and the Prime Minister of Norway. There will be further communication with our partners today. I am grateful to everyone who is not staying silent about what Russia is doing. They are waging war solely against our people – against our memory, our history, and everything that makes up normal human life. It is important that Russia understands that they will be held accountable for all these crimes.
