We are proud to have long-supported the drive to protect marriage equality. Today, we join the LGBTQ+ community in celebrating this historic milestone - the signing of the Respect for Marriage Act into law.

Exciting to see the faces of Colombia's future at an @ObamaFoundation roundtable with young leaders in Bogotá. Their creativity, their compassion, and their drive to improve their country are promising signs of what's to come.

The @USWNT is something to smile about. It was great to celebrate with them back in 2015 and I'm excited to root them on in their drive to earn their fourth star. Best of luck to these champions for equality, on and off the field. #OneNationOneTeam#

Banking and development economist Richard Werner says the real reason we are seeing so many Data Centers being put up so quickly is because they are building the surveillance and digital currency network right now “We are so close to the scariest, most dystopian system. This is what the drive to build all these thousands of data centers is about, to micromanage the world's population through the New Financial World Order. AI is really about that. We're heading towards digital control systems where we have no more control over our liquid assets. It will be programmable, permission-based, so only what the central planners allow you to use your money for, at what time and place and location will be permitted. And if you're in the wrong place, it's not going to work. And If you're buying the wrong book, it's not gonna work. Your money won't work outside a certain zone, whether it's 15-minute prison zone or whatever it may be. It is the totalitarian dictator's dream come true” Here’s what he’s saying Data centers as infrastructure for control The data centers are essential for the massive computing power needed to track, analyze, and micromanage billions of transactions in real-time under a “New Financial World Order.” This includes enforcing rules on what you can buy, where you can spend, and when “15-minute city” style geographic restrictions or blacklisting certain purchases He’s saying AI isn’t just for chatbots or efficiency. It’s the perfect tool for the surveillance, predictive analytics, and an automated enforcement layer on top of digital money I think he’s right. I also think it’s for the massive camera infrastructure being installed all over America with Flock It’s all connected. This is the surveillance state being constructed

How Did the Instinct of Self-Preservation Arise? The instinct of self-preservation is an organism's drive to preserve itself and avoid threats. It did not emerge out of nowhere. It is woven into the very fabric of life. Self-preservation began not with the brain, nor with nerves — but with the first living cell. The cell is a fortress. The first cell survived only because it could maintain order within itself and not disintegrate under the pressure of its environment. This was a proto-instinct: life protected itself long before thought emerged. From chemistry to action. Over time, cells learned to react: to withdraw from toxins, to reach toward nutrients. These were not yet thoughts — only the right chemical responses. Those that “reacted incorrectly” disappeared. Those whose behavior preserved life remained. Genetic memory. Billions of years of selection turned these reactions into instinct. An animal does not know that fire is dangerous — it feels fear accumulated over generations of ancestors. Reason as the amplification of instinct. Humanity elevated self-preservation to a new level. The cell protects itself through chemistry. The animal — through fear. The human — through foresight. We build homes and develop medicine because reason is the continuation of that same ancient impulse of the first cell: “to live.” The highest stage. Today, self-preservation is no longer only about the body. It is about knowledge, cooperation, and responsibility. We are life that has become conscious of itself — and is learning to protect not only itself, but also the world of which it is a part.

Fears about the energy crisis are already reshaping the travel sector for summer 2026, and the data already shows the impact—a rise in train travel, staycations and drive-to locations. (Photo: Getty Images)
