Exactly this.

We Punched Iran. And Then We Ran. The two-week ceasefire from Chamberlain's dreams

"Imagine you’re in a fight, and you punch the other guy. You hit him hard...That’s real damage. But he’s still standing. He’s still got his feet under him. He’s still got his friends around him. He still controls the door to the building...you haven’t won —"

"All we say to America is, 'Be true to what you said on paper.'"

These words — spoken by MLK Jr. shortly before he was killed on this day in 1968 — ring just as true now.

Let's honor his legacy by continuing the fight for social and economic justice.

Millions of seniors will find out the hard way this tax season.

What actually passed:
❌ Temporary tax deduction (expires 2028)
❌ Most seniors NOT eligible
❌ Weakens Social Security trust funds

How is it possible that Kristi Noem still has this job. Imagine if you’re a family member or a shipmate of this guardsman.

COLBERT on Thin-Skinned Trump’s fascist @jamestalarico.bsky.social ban: “Because my network clearly doesn't want us to talk about this, let's talk about this… They're trying to control what we watch, say, read — The most dangerous kind of cancel culture is the kind that comes from the top."

I don't speak Spanish.
This show rocked!

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

Green background with a bird spreading its wings. Text says: General Strike January 23. March downtown Mpls. Fascists not welcome. Protect each other. ICE OUT. No work. No school. No shopping.

Former Minnesota Gov. and WWE legend Jesse Ventura ‘proud’ of Minneapolis anti-ICE protesters Ventura added that he fully backs embattled Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, whom he endorsed for reelection 2022, and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey.

“I took an oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. I view after Jan. 6, the Republican Party is a domestic enemy to our Constitution. I can’t get any colder than that, can I?” Jesse Ventura said.

The killings at Brown, and Bondi beach, came close to destroying my Hanukkah spirit. The deaths of Rob Reiner and his wife put me over the edge.
At about four this morning, I finally lit Hanukkah candles. It took a lot of effort to remind myself to stay strong, and share the light.

Open antique book showing the engraved frontispiece portrait of Phillis Wheatley on the left page. The right page reads: “MEMOIR AND POEMS OF PHILLIS WHEATLEY, A NATIVE AFRICAN AND A SLAVE. ALSO, POEMS BY A SLAVE. THIRD EDITION. BOSTON, PUBLISHED BY ISAAC KNAPP, No. 25 Cornhill. 1838.” Beneath the main title is a short abolitionist verse beginning “Some view the sable race with scornful eye…”

Oval portrait engraving of Phillis Wheatley, a young Black woman, seated at a writing desk in profile. She wears a simple 18th-century dress with white neckerchief and cap, thoughtfully touching her chin with one hand while holding a quill pen over paper with the other. An inkwell and small book rest on the table. Surrounding the oval is the caption: “PHILLIS WHEATLEY, NEGRO SERVANT TO MR. JOHN WHEATLEY, OF BOSTON.”

Phillis Wheatley, first published African-American female poet, died #OTD in 1784.

Born in W. Africa, sold into slavery at 7 & one of the best-known poets in 18th-century America. Her achievements were a catalyst for the fledgling antislavery movement.

What a horrible idea. Non US citizens should stay far away from this.

I agree! The US is not a safe place for many citizens, and is even worse for visitors.
