@brandonguffeysc Agree.

Human trafficking is a grave human rights violation that impacts millions of people worldwide. On Thursday’s #EndHumanTrafficking Day, @UNODC calls for urgent action to stop traffickers, protect victims, & hold perpetrators accountable. unodc.org/unodc/en/endht…

It is with profound sorrow that we bid farewell to Jeanne Gibson, our beloved Rosie the Riveter, has passed away today, July 29, 2026, at the remarkable age of 100. With her passing, we don't simply mourn the loss of a beloved friend, we honor the life of an American hero whose courage, dedication, and unwavering spirit helped shape history, and will continue to inspire generations to come.📷📷 At just 18 years old, Jeanne left her home in Minnesota in the summer of 1944 and answered her nation's call, becoming a welder at Todd Pacific Shipyards in Seattle. With determination and grit, she helped build destroyers that strengthened the Allied war effort during World War II. She later continued her service with the Army Transportation Corps in Juneau, Alaska, embodying the resilience and patriotism of the Greatest Generation. Yet Jeanne's legacy extended far beyond the war. She earned her Ph.D., dedicated three decades to teaching, earned her private pilot license, and spent the rest of her life proving that courage, determination, and purpose know no age. In 2024, Jeanne and her fellow Rosies were collectively awarded the Congressional Gold Medal, one of our nation's highest civilian honors, recognizing the extraordinary women whose sacrifices and determination helped secure victory during World War II. To all of us at Pacific Historic Parks, Jeanne was far more than a Rosie, she was family. She traveled to Hawaiʻi time and again to share her remarkable story with visitors, inspire local students, and ensure that the sacrifices of the Home Front would never be forgotten. Her radiant smile, generous heart, and boundless enthusiasm touched every life she encountered. She had a special gift for encouraging young girls, reminding them that no dream was too big and no obstacle too great. Through her words and her example, she inspired generations to believe in themselves and pursue lives of courage, service, and purpose. Jeanne remained a tireless advocate for preserving the legacy of the Rosies, volunteering at Rosie the Riveter WWII Home Front National Historical Park on "Rosie Fridays" and ensuring the stories of the women who helped win the war would continue to inspire future generations. In one of life's poignant moments, just days before her passing, Jeanne was celebrated with a Wall of Honor banner at the park she loved so dearly and recognized during a San Jose Earthquakes halftime ceremony honoring Bay Area heroes. It was a fitting tribute to a woman whose life was defined by selfless service, quiet strength, and extraordinary grace. Though Jeanne has taken her final flight, her legacy will never fade. It lives on in every story she shared, every young person she inspired, every life she touched, and in the enduring example of courage she leaves behind. Our hearts are with Jeanne's family, her fellow Rosies, and all who were blessed to know and love her. Rest in peace, Jeanne Gibson. Thank you for answering the call when your country needed you most. Thank you for showing generations what courage looks like. We will remember you always

Just days before Minnesota's law banning AI "nudification" apps and websites is set to go into effect, xAI filed a lawsuit challenging the law. AI-generated image-based sexual abuse causes real harm, and strong legal protections are essential. RAINN is proud to stand alongside Senator @ErinMayeQuade and Representative Hanson's efforts to combat image-based sexual abuse through HF 1606. youtube.com/live/br_DGSE3R…

@lynns_warriors, have to talked to Paul Raffile about his recent trip to Nigeria to confront "Yahoo Boys" sextortionists? Fascinating video, youtu.be/OsJERlgzLg0?si…

Meta dumps on missed earnings as Zuck continues to spend capex like a drunken sailor. Sorry Lizard Boy, I’m pretty sure there is no “Super Intellegence” in your future. P.S. Also, no one wants to be seen wearing your Epstein Specks.

A reflection by Pope Leo XIV "Dear friends, compassion and empathy are sadly in danger of disappearing today. Technological advances have made us more connected than ever before, but they can also lead to indifference. The constant flow of images and videos of the hardships of others can dull our hearts rather than stir them. Pope Francis warned us that 'we have become used to the suffering of others thinking: it does not affect me, it does not interest me, it is none of my business.' This type of apathy is becoming one of the most serious spiritual challenges of our time." (Greeting to the participants of the 8th Colloquium between the Dicastery for Interreligious Dialogue and the Royal Institute for Inter-faith Studies - May 11, 2026)

AI chatbots are increasingly used as life coaches, counselors, and therapists. Developers rely on mental health experts to test whether responses are safe. New research finds that expert disagreement makes that process unreliable; the scholars propose a path forward: hai.stanford.edu/news/stanford-…
