Just unbelievable news out of Japan. Impossible to overstate how important a figure Shinzo Abe has been there and how rare gun violence is.

This clip is supremely important to watch and share. When finished, watch it, again and again. What these people ( Trump, Cruz, Lee, Gaetz, McCarthy) have done to the United States is as unfathomable as it is unspeakable, yet we must speak of this,so it never happens again.

As the mob smashed our windows, bloodied our police and stormed the Capitol, Trump and his accomplices plotted to destroy Biden’s majority in the electoral college and overthrow our constitutional order.
America will see how the coup and insurrection converged.

Russia’s foreign minister Lavrov said negotiations can begin once Russia “restores democratic order” in Ukraine.
As Russian troops neared Kyiv, Ukrainian MP Oleksiy Goncharenko was asked to respond.
He had a pretty clear answer.

Aaron Rodgers is allowed to run his mouth, but Colin Kaepernick wasn't.

Head-spinning rulings in a leviathan #whale case. A Federal judge rejects plaintiff’s right to sue but then rules with him on the merits. What’s next? Ropeless fishing gear — a lifeline for right whales, lobstermen and beleaguered State officials.
Quote Tweet
Buoy lines used by lobstermen should be banned to protect critically endangered right whales, a federal judge wrote today in a long-awaited ruling. But because she said the plaintiff, Max Strahan, lacked standing to bring his suit, the judge didn't require MA to ban the lines.

First right whale mom/calf of the season spotted off South Carolina! Biologists shared this pic showing calf’s head. This sighting is a great reminder-we all need to slow down. Right whales are moving & need space-500 yards/5 football fields fisheries.noaa.gov/news/watching- #rightwhale

Happy retirement, . I was fortunate enough to be ringside for, by my count, 20 of the Pacman's fights, and to interview him on stage, on camera and for print countless times. (I'm sure he considers all those interviews to be career highlights.)

Nania the elephant was alone, dehydrated and tiny — only 2 or 3 months old — when villagers in Burkina Faso first found her. She was raised with around-the-clock care, and now, against all odds, she may be reunited with her mother. nyti.ms/3zObT1J

Amazing what consistent policymaking can do

10% of new car sales in Norway in 2021 have been diesel or petrol. Let that sink in.
It is normal to buy an electric car in Norway, an outlier to buy diesel or petrol. With policies, things can go fast.

A slow-motion tragedy, and the walls keep closing in — for our fishermen and an ancient species our forebears slaughtered. We are killing them still, and only we can save them. Let’s get to work.
