Team Tenaya Lake 21st annual swim-what an incredible day celebrating the Yosemite community, enjoying spectacular scenery-and eating! Congratulate all the awesome swimmers who braved ghost trees and alpine sharks to swim either 1.2 or 2.4 miles on the lake. And thanks to our awesome support crew on kayaks and paddle boards keeping everyone safe. Special thanks to the bald eagles, who always make sure one of their kind makes an annual appearance while we swim. Weather was perfect and this was one of the warmest water temperatures we have had-68F on the shore, a little colder in the middle. See you next year!

New ceasefire is going GREAT!
At 5:45 p.m. ET today, Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps forces launched multiple ballistic missiles from Iran in an attempted surprise attack on U.S. forces based in the Middle East. All Iranian missiles were successfully intercepted. U.S. forces remain vigilant and at a high state of readiness.

Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say “Send me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact. How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.

Imagine an ICE shooting every day. That's merely the tip of the iceberg for Palestinians in the West Bank.
If you’re rightfully horrified by what’s happening in the U.S., remember that this is daily life for Palestinians under Israeli occupation—funded by our tax dollars. The imperial boomerang is real. That’s why you can’t ignore what we do across the world as an issue “over there.”

The scariest thing about this is the blatant lying. No investigation. No genuine desire for truth. Just a shameless coverup while a family is shattered, a funeral is prepared and a country breaks one day at a time.
Kristi Noem lies shamelessly: "An individual approached US Border Patrol officers with a 9mm semi-automatic handgun. The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently ... this looks like a situation where an individual arrived at the scene to inflict maximum damage and kill law enforcement."

Two years today. Still hard to believe that such a glorious, furious spirit has gone. What a time we had, what a life you led. You gave us so much, you shining giant of a man and your name is etched forever in so many hearts all around the world. Love you Shane! Until next time❤️

Donald Trump doesn’t want you to see this picture. He’s literally destroying the White House.

Q: You called the judge's ruling 'legal insurrection.' Are you recommending the president take action against judges who rule against him? STEPHEN MILLER: No. It's simply a factually accurate statement

Wholesale scything by ignorant zealots. Reminds me of an Illinois newspaper's evident ban on the use of "gay," resulting in this headline on a 1994 story about the plane that dropped The Bomb on Hiroshima:

This was an ambush, but Trump isn't reliable so Vance got the task of provoking Zelensky. Zelensky could ignore personal attacks, but won't allow the suffering of Ukrainians to be diminished by the likes of Vance, who had no reason to be there other than to perform sabotage.
