America ought to consider a secession. The fascist American right really HATES places in America such as California. I never hear this talk from the left. America is in an abusive marriage and it's time for a divorce
This is why I’ve been calling for the 25th Amendment.

I feel like the President of The United States suggesting Iran should nuke Los Angeles and San Diego should be getting a little more attention than it is.

She wagged her tail as they closed the door behind her. She trusted them completely. She never knew she was saying goodbye to Earth forever. 🐕🚀 Her name was Laika. She wasn't born in a laboratory. She wasn't a famous dog. She wasn't even someone's pet. She was just a small stray dog wandering the cold streets of Moscow, searching for food, warmth, and kindness. Every day was a struggle. Every night was spent under the open sky. But despite everything, Laika remained gentle. She still trusted humans. She still wagged her tail when someone showed her affection. One day, people came and took her away. For the first time in her life, she had food every day. She had a warm place to sleep. People cared for her. They spoke softly to her. They petted her head and called her a good girl. Laika had no idea that she had been chosen for a mission that would change history. The people around her knew. But she didn't. As the days passed, the scientists grew attached to her. They played with her. They fed her by hand. They watched her innocent eyes look at them with complete trust. And that trust broke their hearts. Because they knew something Laika could never understand. She was going to space. And she was never coming back. On the morning of November 3, 1957, they placed her inside a tiny spacecraft. The capsule was so small that she could barely move. One scientist later admitted that before closing the hatch, he hugged Laika and kissed her nose. He knew it would be the last kindness she would ever receive. As the countdown began, Laika sat alone. No family. No owner. No one to tell her what was happening. Just a little dog surrounded by machines. Then the rocket roared to life. Within moments, Laika became the first living creature to orbit the Earth. The whole world celebrated. Newspapers called it a historic achievement. People cheered. Governments praised the success. But high above the planet, there was a frightened little dog who didn't understand any of it. She wasn't chasing history. She wasn't trying to become famous. She was simply waiting for the humans she trusted to bring her home. But home was never part of the plan. The spacecraft had no way to return. From the moment the rocket left the ground, Laika's fate had already been decided. For years, the world was told that she survived in orbit for days. The truth was even more heartbreaking. Laika died alone only hours after launch. No one was there to hold her. No one was there to comfort her. No familiar voice whispered, "Good girl." Far above the Earth, the little stray dog who had trusted humans with all her heart took her final breath. And she never came home. Years later, one of the scientists involved confessed that he regretted what had happened. The mission had made history. But it had also cost an innocent life. A life that had given everything without ever understanding why. Today, statues of Laika stand in different parts of the world. People call her a hero. A pioneer. A symbol of space exploration. But when many people look at her photograph, they don't see a hero. They see a small dog with kind eyes. A dog who spent her life looking for love. A dog who trusted humans until her very last moment. A dog who boarded a spacecraft believing that the people she loved would take care of her. 💔 She never knew she was becoming a legend. She only knew she was a good girl. And perhaps that is the saddest part of all. 🐕🚀❤️ "History remembers the mission. The heart remembers the dog." #Laika #SpaceDog #HeartbreakingStory #AnimalLove #DogStory #SpaceHistory #EmotionalStory #NeverForgotten #HumanAnimalBond #TrueStory #SpaceExploration #DogsOfHistory #TearsInMyEyes #FaithfulCompanion #AnimalStories #HistoryThatHurts #GoodGirlLaika #LegendForever #ViralStory

cities should be designed for people, not just consumers. give people parks, plazas, benches, libraries and public spaces where they can actually spend time without being expected to spend money. not every human activity or bit of fun needs to happen inside a business. sometimes you should be able to leave your house and enjoy being alive without having to buy something.

The best news I've heard today. Mexico is deporting Americans without proper documents. Including those that colonized the ocean beachfront overstaying their visas. Get your paperwork in order, speak Spanish & pay taxes if you want to live in Mexico. The curse has been reversed

I believe that America should secede into three separate nations. I like my map better with each color representing its own separate country. Yellow and Blue are only separate nations because they don't touch. I'm sure they would be close geopolitical allies. Visa free travel

#UnitedStates: The case of Christa Pike lays bare multiple reasons why the death penalty should be abolished. The prolonged suffering – physical and mental – arising from multiple failed execution attempts is abhorrent, and cruel. And there are key fair trial questions still unresolved. UN Human Rights Chief @volker_turk calls on the state authorities not to pursue any further attempt to execute Pike. We are also troubled by the increase in the number of executions in the United States. The death penalty has no place in any society.

The blood lusting death penalty fans in the US are in a 30% minority of nations in line with Afghanistan and Somalia. Good job.👍

I can understand the disappointment against @JasmineForUS , but the HATRED and coded racist language against her from DEMOCRATS on Twitter is shocking. I still love Rep Crockett and if I lived in TX, I would also vote for @jamestalarico in the general election ❤️

The reason the right are so anti Mamdani is pretty obvious. They don’t want you to see what your tax dollars being put to work the right way would actually look like. Then everybody would want that to happen everywhere.
