In honour of her 80th birthday, here’s Liza Minnelli getting surprised by Chita Rivera in just about the most charming showbiz moment ever!
#LizaIs80

Bill Clinton: And he somehow knew I had flown in Jeffrey Epstein's aircraft. And he said, "You know, we had some great times together over the years, but we fell out all because of a real estate deal." and he said, "I'm sorry it happened.”

Donald Trump does not have to even try to act out the role of Crime Family Don. Not only did his father act as if he were the supreme authoritarian of his family & business, Donald Trump's first lawyer, close personal friend & primary Mentor, Roy Cohn, was NYC Lawyer for the Mobsters.

"Playing politics" is detrimental to the pervasively & deeply rooted "male dominating entitlement" in our Patriarchal-structured societies. Millennia-old, they are not to be taken for granted, nor posited as "God-given" as too many "Christ"-ians unequivocally assert.

Remember back in the day when Congress used to be in charge of appropriations?

Poignant!

Epstein survivor Haley Robson: I’m so tired of having this administration just completely dismiss us. They’re supposed to be the party of, you know, family values and protecting children. And I just feel like if that’s the party you are, it seems like Thomas Massie is the only one showing up for it.

McIver: Do you consider yourself a religious man?

Lyons: Yes

McIver: How do you think judgment day will work for you with so much blood on your hands? Do you think you’re going to hell?

Omar: I instinctively tried to, like, punch him…, I was raised with three brothers who were older than me. You learn that maybe taking the first punch when somebody is bigger than you yields you better results.

Highlight injustice, put oneself at risk, take the state violence while remaining nonviolent, generate images for the public, more see the undeniable injustice and grow more sympathetic, until state behavior changes.

That’s exactly how civil disobedience is supposed to work. Well done, Minnesota.

Great seeing so many Christian leaders, along with other religious leaders, speaking out for human dignity, rights, and respect in Minnesota—"whatever you did for one of the least of these..."—while America is run by power-abusing "Christians" who stand for violence, money, and cruelty to strangers.

The Founders (rightly) thought financial corruption was so concerning they banned it in the Constitution three separate times: the two emoluments clauses, and the only named impeachable offense besides treason.

Starting in 2017, America decided it just kinda didn't matter anymore, whatcha gonna do.

ICE has stopped paying for detainee medical treatment ICE halted payments in October, and the situation will persist for at least several more months

I’ve been writing Popular Information for 8 years, and this is one of the most important stories I’ve ever published. This is a humanitarian crisis that has gone unreported.

Trump's Greenland Problem As the president-elect's call to buy—or take—a sovereign country moves from punchline to possibility, a look at the real stakes of the Arctic’s mounting cold war.

"In part because of its size, remoteness & low population density — only about 56K people live there — Greenland has also become an object of desire for some of the Silicon Valley power brokers interested in establishing a kind of libertarian playground."

Now that Trump and Vance and unapologetically murdering US citizens you don’t hear about the Epstein files anymore.

Minneapolis schools cancel classes after Border Patrol clash disrupts dismissal at Roosevelt Minneapolis schools closed for the week citing safety concerns after an encounter involving armed Border Patrol agents near Roosevelt High School.

“'The guy, I’m telling him like, "Please step off the school grounds," and this dude comes up and bumps into me and then tells me that I pushed him, and he knocked me down,' an official at Roosevelt High School said. 'They don’t care. They’re just animals. I’ve never seen people behave like this.'"

We remember too vividly

Posts may be a bit more sporadic from me today as my kids are home from school because my city is being brutalized by the federal government to the extent that it's unsafe for schools to be open

Bernie Sanders: "We need to be thinking seriously about a moratorium on data centers. You gotta slow this process down. It's not good enough for the oligarchs to tell us 'you adapt.' Are they gonna guarantee healthcare to all people? What are they gonna do when there are no jobs? Make housing free?"

Listen to the Full CECOT Episode CBS Tried to Ban YouTube video by Qasim Rashid

"CBS filed a copyright claim against my YouTube channel for posting Canada's version of the CECOT story that Bari Weiss killed — SO — I downloaded & read the transcript verbatim on camera. Here it is."

Long exposure of clouds moving over Colpoy's Bay, Ontario for the #BlueSkyArtShow theme #OpenHouse.

A favourite from my long exposure of moving clouds project I started during the Covid lockdown.

The more I think about it, the more I reckon the 2003 Iraq War began the process that let Trump win. The blatant lies we were told by our governments, the disregard for public opinion and mockery of international law created a rupture that never healed. Trust, consent and cohesion were smashed.🧵 1/3

Torture Techniques from CIA Black Sites Were Used at Alligator Alcatraz Amnesty International, interviewing migrant detainees, identifies use of the confinement box. There can be no denying it is a torture prison

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Simply put: Yes! And, I am a 'non-Theist' as well as a devoted follower in that way of living and being in all relationships, incarnate in a Nazarene Jesus & so many women & men before & since. What is called "God" is not a person and IS ultimately, intimately personal within every thing & every one

"as a Christian"? I have always had trouble with using the entitlement, "Christ", and now I cannot although I continue to live passionately committed to that way of living & being in all relationships embodied in a Jesus (and others). "Christ" is everything Jesus was not & refused to be.
