She was an absolutely wonderful actress- and a rare and fascinating person. Thoughts with her children and sisters. Rest in peace Diane.

From her lifetime of pioneering work with chimpanzees to her
tireless advocacy for the environment...

Jane Goodall was a one-of-a-kind treasure to the world!

I was lucky enough to be able to thank her personally when our paths crossed not long ago.

Thanks again, Ms. Goodall. You will be missed. ♥️

Yes -- remember: Undocumented immigrants pay billions of dollars in taxes every year.

They pay into government funded healthcare programs, but can't access them except in case of emergency.

Emergency Medicaid spending accounted for less than 1% of total Medicaid spending in 2023.

KIMMEL: "This show is not important. What is important is that we get to live in a country that allows us to have a show like this… Trump might have to release the Epstein files to distract us from THIS now.”

This is a teachable moment. Autism is genetic. Undiagnosed autistic mothers might take more Tylenol during pregnancy because of painful sensory issues. Assigning causation is the study's fallacy. Many autistic parents only get diagnosed after their children are because they share autistic traits.

We have to ask ourselves why Trump is doing this. He may be planning to use active duty military personnel to disappear US citizens.

This commentary offers a clear, powerful statement of why freedom of speech is at the heart of democracy and must be defended, whether the speaker is Charlie Kirk or Jimmy Kimmel, MAGA supporters or MAGA opponents.
