TBH, Amazon is hard to like. We prefer local, but the wishlist has been a game-changer for accessibility, allowing the community to support our new Center instantly. Huge thanks to Lilly Jarusevicious, Melissa Ramirez, Julia Warren, & Paul Hummel (in memory of Chris Vitt)! bit.ly/FRNWRAmazon

The drives from Karl-Anthony Towns have been key for New York early in this one. Cleveland hasn't been afraid to switch or change the matchup. Has Strus here and looks to go 1v1. Good job from Alvarado to clear the wing and Hart to slide to the right block.

"Living with Humans" by Kal Fulsom a.co/d/ddaGXP1 Book 02 of the SHIFTERS series. A compelling story of two species, Humans & Elysians. A science fiction tale, weaving together personal relationships, cultural clashes, libertine lifestyles, new technology, and futurism.
People rallying inside @governor.ny.gov’s NYC Midtown office are reading testimonies from New Yorkers across the state who are at risk of losing their health insurance from Trump’s cuts which they are calling on Hochul to stop. As they rally, 1 unit of SRG has mobilized outside.
Hegseth attacks the press as "unpatriotic" and suggests that they are on the side of Iran. Freedom of the press is under attack once again as Hegseth refers to objective reporting as "unpatriotic."
The federal government is LYING TO YOU, believe your own eyes! Video proves Alex Pretti acted within his constitutional rights. 2nd Amendment defenders WHERE ARE YOU? Open carry is legal in Minnesota. AFTER they removed the gun, they shot him 10 TIMES, but want to use it as justification for MURDER!

Local councillors are the bedrock of our communities, local voices tackling local issues. Waseem Zaffar was one of the best, a tireless advocate for constituents, taken far too soon. A huge loss to Birmingham. I called for a debate to honour the work of councillors like Waseem.
I first heard Kreayshawn as a teen in 2011 while surfing Tumblr and was obsessed. 15 years later I got to see her live at Pisces ATL in what was prob the most fun I’ve ever had at a show. Thanks for going with me @macro-scopic.bsky.social 🩵 #concert #livemusic #millennial #2000s #kreayshawn

James Gearns “And how are we gonna honor it this Memorial Day weekend in SC? We're gonna honor it by throwing out military ballots, by throwing away military people that voted in their congressional race from overseas in combat zones.
All these young protesters are being sentenced to death simply for taking part in demonstrations. What more will it take for people to recognize the brutality of this regime and support real change? #Iran #Revolution2026 #IranRevolution #IranProtests #FreeIran #StandWithIran
When we think of #accompaniment, our work alongside communities in #WestAfrica quickly comes to mind. 🌍 When @pih.org was invited to provide urgent support in responding to #Ebola. But rather than provide short-term emergency support, we looked deeper. 👀
The cost of your flight went up because you searched for it twice. Your rideshare costs more because your phone battery is dying. This is surveillance pricing – corporations using your own data and behaviors against you. In the US Senate, I’ve got plan to ban it.
Drop the phrase that instantly makes your blood boil! The translation game is one that manipulative people play. In my fantasy story, there's a group of people who are really good with words. They can make anything sound reasonable: theft, kidnapping, even slavery.
