After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

A helicopter contrail is not something you see everyday. Concern: this is about the height of fixed wing aircraft lining up for the nearest airport.

In May 1958 the Carbon Dioxide was measured at 317.5 ppm. This May the average for the month was 430.2 ppm. If you are doing the math, that is an increase of 112.7 ppm.

The % increase from 317.5 to 430.2 is approximately 35.51%.

In 1958, Charles Keeling, began monitoring Carbon dioxide.
Annual Carbon Dioxide Peak Passes Another Milestone
For the first time, the seasonal peak of carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere exceeded 430 parts per million (ppm) at NOAA’s Mauna Loa Observatory on Hawaii, scientists from NOAA and Scripp...

Isn’t this what it means to be in a party? When a party holds a primary, the party supports the voters nominee. Ignore your voters at your own peril.
As someone who’s been a Democrat for only six weeks, I think this is such an important point. We’re either a big tent, or we aren’t. And if we are a big tent, that means progressives unite around a moderate nominee, and moderates unite around a progressive nominee. Period.👇

Laughing in front of cages designed to hold migrants and refugees, many of whom came to this country fleeing extreme violence and poverty, and hoping to raise their children in a more compassionate country. And many of whom followed all the legal procedures to enter the country.

Melting Arctic ice isn’t just bad for polar bears; it’s bad for us, too.

A warmer Arctic and changing circulation patterns affect coastlines, crops, and climate patterns around the world.
What happens in the Arctic doesn't really matter, right?

I joined the Catholic Church the year that Dorothy died. I was married the next year and we moved to Staten Island to work with the mission that abuts the cemetery where Dorothy was buried. I am so grateful for this broadcast. ❤️

Last words from Judgment at Nuremberg: a convicted German jurist tells his American judge: “Those millions.. you must believe I never thought it would come to this.” The reply: “It came to this the first time you condemned a man to death you knew to be innocent.”

O Lord Jesus Christ,
You were betrayed and condemned by those who muffled the voice of their conscience and relinquished their responsibility to you and to humanity…

Even if you care nothing for your neighbor, the destruction of the pubic health infrastructure will reach us all. “…no wall is high enough to keep viruses and other disease threats out.” Uganda is just over 22 hours from IAD.
Make a huge mistake. Then make a false claim about how you fixed it.

They did it for PEPFAR.

Now Ebola.

I follow this particular topic VERY closely, so here's what really happened and why this isn't true AT ALL...🧵
Elon Musk: "We will make mistakes. We won't be perfect ... so for example, with USAID, one of the things we accidentally canceled very briefly was ebola prevention."

Putting USAID in the wood chipper has consequences.

Samaritan’s Purse, Catholic Relief Services, and World Relief are Christian mission efforts that received funding from USAID.
The average Fox News viewer has no idea that Musk is tearing down a system that allowed this country to rule the world for the past 75 years. And when their standard of living slips dramatically in the next five years they still won’t understand because their TV will blame it on some poor scapegoat.
