North Tehran’s Aqdasiyeh oil depot is ablaze tonight after it was targeted by multiple US-Israeli airstrikes. Apocalyptic scenes filmed by Iranians driving on the nearby highway. Local reporters saying firefighters can’t put it out. This depot is critical energy infrastructure for Iran.
Israel bombed the heck out of a neighborhood in Beirut, killing 41 people-- mostly civilians-- to try to get info on a solidier missing for 40 years.

It's cute to make jokes about being old in your early 30s or whatever but the true Being Old is when you stop the jokes. It's no longer a laughing matter
None of those woke rules of engagement USA? Every time I think Trump and co have hit rock bottom they find somewhere lower to go.

As a parent, the existence of LGBTQ+ people has been the easiest thing in the world to "explain" to my kiddo because this is literally all you have to say when they're little. And kids accept that. These parents are afraid of the acceptance, not the explanation.
this is the same guy who forced parents who brought their kids to "up" to explain death to their kids

A barred owl is perched on a bare diagonal branch, looking over its shoulder at the camera. To the left of the owl a Steller’s jay has its beak open, mid-squawk. The background is a jumble of green leaves and brown branches, mostly out of focus.
A surprisingly common #MixedPair. When barred owls hang out in the woods the Steller’s jays are often nearby, sounding an alarm. #birdoftheday #nature #ThursJay #birds #photography

It's been nearly one year since Trump issued an order to dismantle USAGM and Kari Lake placed employees on leave and fired contractors.

Every Democrat needs to tell Hanne Daguman’s story: Kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing then medically neglected. Insulin is required for life. A Type I diabetic can go into a potentially fatal metabolic state within 12-24 hrs. This is a horrific story. She happens to look “relatable” to GOP.
