The carcass of the 61-foot, adult female fin whale — which was pregnant, based on initial findings — was towed to an area beach for a necropsy, NOAA Fisheries said.

25 years ago, I interviewed #ChiefLookingHorse about World Peace and Prayer Day, and was inspired to organized a solidarity event in #PortlandME (in conjunction with #PeaceActionMaine) where we made art, spoke truth, played music, and fed the #Unhoused. It took a lot of work to organize, but I'm glad it happened. It's was all about #BuildingCommunity and #MutualAid, and that's what's needed #InTheseTimes!

#WorldPeaceAndPrayerDay: The Power of Spirit

Article by @bsnorrell.blogspot.com , Censored News, noon, June 21, 2026

#MathóPahá (Bear Butte) South Dakota -- "Chief #ArvolLookingHorse, Chief began by saying the riders are coming from Green Grass and then they will proceed to the Little Big Horn.

" '#MotherEarth is sick, and we are sick, because we nourish from Mother Earth' Chief Looking Horse said.

"With a message of hope, Chief Looking Horse said his people are a people of peace and today, more than ever, the youths are singing their songs and on the ride from Green Grass.

"As World Peace and Prayer Day began, now in its thirtieth year, Chief Looking Horse said, 'Pipestone is the Blood of our People,'

"We need peace in this world more than ever."

"As World Peace and Prayer Day begins today, an elder from #Alaska speaks on the impact of a typhoon at #HooperBay. She spoke on the power of prayer, and efforts to recover. 'Their homes are totally destroyed.' Now, the federal government is depriving them of their funds."

"#Paiute #JoshDini and youth honor #MyronDewey, Paiute, and his efforts at #StandingRock. They are sharing what is happening at #ThackerPass, the #LithiumMining in Nevada.

"On the ride, now from Green Grass in South Dakota, Josh said they are able to share what is happening in Nevada and that Thacker Pass is a place of massacres.

"#Datacenters are being pushed without consultation with the tribe. The data centers are taking the land and water, even now in a #drought, the data centers are coming for the water, Josh said.

"Dr. #ValeriahBigEagle, #Nakota / #HunkpatiDakota, speaks on the power of prayer and protection of the land and water. At Sacred #Pesla, two drill rigs were stopped from going in. An injunction, and preliminary injunction was filed to stop the drilling for graphite. Then, 'they started drilling around the clock.' On May 8, the permit was rescinded.

"There were drones and helicopters overhead, but the occupation went forward with prayer, she said. The protectors had their own drone as well, for security. Big Eagle said it was an honor to be a part of this.

" 'The only weapons we had were our prayers,' she said, describing the lock downs to equipment to halt the drilling.

" 'When we are in #solidarity and #unity, we can make things happen,' she said, speaking on ongoing efforts to protect the Sacred #BlackHills."

Live Now: World Peace and Prayer Day

Censored News is a service to grassroots Indigenous Peoples engaged in resistance and upholding human rights.

6:00AM: 53F, overcast.

Chance showers, showers likely...rinse, repeat.

That's forecast and I'm stickin' to it...unless the NWS changes it. 😉

Yesterday was a perfect Father's Day/Solstice for my SO. He complained he hadn't felt "warm to his bones" since last summer, so he finally got his dose of sun.

His bones were happy.
