I like the coffee shop idea! Not a big fan of the many types of sugar sold at an LRT station - maybe at that one some fruit and power bars, bottled water and 80% & 90% dark chocolate.

U.S. sub sinks Iranian warship off Sri Lanka, killing 87 and expanding war zone A U.S. submarine sank an Iranian warship off the southern coast of Sri Lanka, killing dozens of sailors and dramatically widening Washington's pursuit of the Iranian navy.

A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflict—and 9000
miles from North America—makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

after absolutely eviscerating Kristi Noem and calling for her resignation, Tillis is applauded. He thens threatens to hold up nominees if she doesn't stop stonewalling him. My God.

Can you do this with ALT text please to allow approximately 10% of the population that use screen readers to have the picture descriptions read to them.

Idaho considers an 'apocalyptic' choice for disabled people and families Difficult budget decisions in a number of states are threatening vital programs for disabled people at home and caregivers in the workforce.

Whenever there are healthcare cuts, disabled people suffer.

It’s eugenics.

They see us as expendable.

Many think we’re “better off dead”.

It’s no surprise that when they need to save money, it’s taken from Disability services.

Home care saves lives. This is awful.

Fact Check: Did Trump say in '98 Republicans are dumb? A meme claims Trump told People magazine Republicans are "dumbest group of voters in the country."

It's a fake quote in other memes too. This article has different interesting history:

The U.S. accounts for 71% of our exports and their trade actions have made 2025 a difficult year.

But we're diversifying markets, we're investing billions in infrastructure, we have the most foreign investment in 18 years, and employment is growing. We'll win this trade war.

These slop accounts are garbage. City council did NOT extend transfer window. They asked admin to start work on it + report back in Apr for council to decide. Accounts like these scrape headlines, have 100,000+ followers & often get it wrong. Meanwhile legit news orgs are banned by Meta. 🤦🏻‍♂️ #yyccc

"We will not sit back and watch as this government lays out the welcome mat for making Alberta the 51st State in breach of our Treaties."

TRUMP: I ended 8 wars. Isn't it funny?

DEMOCRAT: It's a lie! It's a lie!

TRUMP: Sick people

Trump’s second term has been disastrous. He has forced us into an affordability crisis, terrorized American cities, and stripped millions from health care coverage and food assistance.

This Congressman is unimpressed. #USPoli

Here's another message for Trump. #USPoli

Elizabeth Warren: "This one is to me not even open or arguable. How would the US government keep money that the Supreme Court said it did not legally collect from American businesses, that it did not legally take away from American families that ultimately paid this?"
