I’ve decided that I will continue sharing this picture.
Too many people have told me that sharing their faces will ruin their future.
I keep responding the same way:
Sweetie, that’s what I’m counting on.

Remember Ava Jendersee who said "Go back to your own country Bitch" to a person of color? Well, she is no longer a nursing student at the University of St. Thomas. This is what MAGA racism gets you bigots. FAFO. Bye.

DO NOT LEAVE THE VOTING BOOTH UNTIL YOU ARE SURE THE MACHINE REGISTERED YOUR 'DEMOCRAT' VOTE. Many people are reporting they voted DEMOCRAT and it clicked back to REPUBLICAN. A voter says it took 4 times before it stayed on DEMOCRAT. The fix is in! spotlightpa.org/news/2025/10…

There is a very disturbing trend being seen in early voting. Texas, Florida, Tennessee, Ohio are reporting difficulties getting the machines to accept democratic votes. The machines change them back to Republican unless the voter persists, pressing several times to get the correct vote to go through.
Check your machine, check to see that it accepted the correct vote. Make sure your voice counts.

Ice is in Scottsdale. Please spread the word. McDonald and Pima. Don’t stop at any business. I’m asking for a retweet. Please.

Look how beautiful this Lufthansa A340-600 cabin is.
One last walk down the aisle of the longest passenger quadjet in the world, from business class all the way to the back. The warm lighting, deep navy carpets, and endless rows of seats make this cabin truly special.
Quiet, empty, and still beautiful. It’s easy to see why this four-engine giant is so loved. 💙✈️

No matter how many times I hear her, her voice still leaves me speechless. She had one of the most extraordinary singing voices in music history.💖

As Lufthansa’s Airbus A340-600 operates its final scheduled passenger service, let’s give this long-haul workhorse its flowers.
The A340-600 is an absolute beast of an aircraft, and here’s what makes it special.
At 75.27 metres long, it was the world’s longest passenger aircraft until the Boeing 747-8 arrived.
Unlike the A340-300 with four CFM56 engines(hairdryes), which we avgeeks joke about saying "needs the Earth’s curvature to help it climb," the -600 packs four Rolls-Royce Trent 556 engines producing roughly 56,000 lbf of thrust each.
Then there’s Lufthansa’s coolest cabin: instead of keeping all the washrooms on the main passenger deck, Lufthansa moved five lavatories to the lower deck, accessed by stairs. On an 11-hour economy flight, that extra walk is a chance to stretch your legs and get the blood flowing.
It’s a clever use of cabin space, freeing up room on the main deck for passenger seating.
And underneath this stretched fuselage sits an additional centreline main landing gear, helping distribute the loads imposed by this massive aircraft.
An unmistakable silhouette. Farewell, you magnificent quadjet.

Canada announces: Telesat, homegrown satellites, will be expanded and Starlink usage will soon be removed.
This is what every country on earth should do asap.

The Maine Republican Party is very upset that Troy Jackson told Susan Collins to “shut up.”
They’re perfectly fine with “Quiet Piggy.”

Ava Jendersee, University of Thomas nursing school student, told someone to go back to their country yesterday. Someone like that should not be a nurse. It was all caught on camera.

BREAKING🚨 A Michigan nurse lost her job and now faces up to a year in federal prison because a patient with a bloodied face walked out of the hospital before ICE could take him.
Chloe Freeman, a registered nurse at Trinity Health Ann Arbor Hospital, is charged with "instigating or assisting escape," which carries up to a year in prison. She has pleaded not guilty. She goes back to federal court in Detroit on October 20.
On May 28, Border Patrol agents went after a Mexican man in Ann Arbor. The agents say he ran, tripped over a curb and hit his face on the pavement. He was bleeding from the head when they brought him to the hospital, where staff saw in his paperwork that he was in ICE custody.
After his CT scan, the FBI says Freeman took out his IV and walked him to the ambulance bay. Security footage shows him going out the doors with his face bandaged and bloody. Nobody has found him since.
When the hospital questioned her in June, Freeman said she disagreed with ICE "separating people from their families." She said that with injuries like his, he "could have died." She also said no agents were in the room during the scan, so she didn't believe he was in custody at that point. Even the prosecutors' own announcement says agents stayed with him only until he was moved to imaging.
Trinity Health fired her. She has since moved away.
Shahad Atiya, an immigration attorney and law professor, said she has never seen this charge used in immigration cases, as Ruta Ulcinaite first reported in WXYZ Detroit (ABC 7). She expects it to become "a new set of charges" aimed at anyone who helps immigrants.
Prosecutors charged a misdemeanor, not a felony. That means no grand jury ever had to approve the case. Grand juries in Los Angeles and Chicago have refused to indict anti-ICE protesters on felony charges.
A petition calling for the charge to be dropped warns it tells healthcare workers that "showing compassion for a patient could cost them their freedom and their career." Nurses and hospital workers are being asked to show up at the Detroit courthouse on October 20 in their scrubs and lab coats.

Last night, Ukraine’s Defense Forces struck an airfield in the Voronezh region. Four Su-34 aircraft were destroyed and two more Su-34s were hit. The Russians used them to terrorize our people. These very warplanes were ready to launch new attacks on Ukraine and were loaded with aerial bombs.
Our Long Neptune missile was used to strike the target. I thank the warriors of the Ukrainian Navy for their precision!
Our long-range sanctions also reached a site in the Oryol region used to store and launch attack drones. A target was also hit in the Black Sea.
These are our justified responses to all of Russia’s terror against Ukraine. Russia is dragging out the war, so our long-range operations will continue.
