"There is always light, if only we're brave enough to see it; if only we're brave enough to be it." - Amanda Gorman

This is what's known as "consciousness of guilt"

“Miss, do you agree with the sign?” “Absolutely not. My great niece was 4 months pregnant and her fetus had no skull. And because of men involving themselves in women’s bodies she was forced to deliver the fetus… there’s a reason God created medicine.”🔥 #ForcedBirthNation

26 December 1899 | A Polish Jew, Abram Finkelstein, was born in Radom. An accountant. In #Auschwitz from 20 December 1941 No. 24955 He perished in the camp on 29 December 1941. --- 🎧 Our podcast talks about the situation of Polish & Jewish prisoners in the camp: https://youtu.be/_ZaWqIsmY4U

Well said, Hope.

Grok was not impressed.

26 December 1914 | Polish man, Szczepan Antczak, was born in Strzegowo. A carpenter. In #Auschwitz from 15 August 1940 No. 3178 He was released in 1941. He survived the war and passed away in 2010 at the age of 95.

Didn't this POS campaign on ending "endless wars"?

26 December 1899 | A German Jehovah’s Witness, Marta Proppe, was born. In #Auschwitz from 12 November 1942 No. 24418 She was transferred to KL Gross-Rosen. She survived. One of at least 387 Jehovah’s Witnesses imprisoned in Auschwitz.

He has no idea what he's talking about.

As the year draws to a close, a crowd-sourced effort, as well as trackers from advocacy organizations and labor unions, show that the Trump administration has implemented roughly half of the goals laid out in Project 2025.

Prosecute them all. Beyond the depravity of this, it's pure theft. The local prosecutor should open an investigation and charge them all.

My God, it's full of lights! (Of course we decorate our monolith for the holidays. Doesn't everyone?)

25 December 1943 | The number of prisoners within the Auschwitz camp system was 86,920: 56,696 men and 30,324 women. 19,061 prisoners were in camp hospitals (11,039 men and 8,042 women). Online lesson about the most important aspects of the history of Auschwitz: http://lekcja.auschwitz.org/en_1/

😂 LOL!

Vaccines work. They save tens of thousands of lives every year. They help protect you, and they protect those around you who are too young to be vaccinated, or have compromised immunity. They're close to a modern medical miracle. At best, vax deniers are willfully-ignorant fools.

The willfully-ignorant fool in the Oval Office wants you to believe he cut drug prices by as much as 3,000%. If this were the case, the drug company would pay YOU 30x the price of the drug, every time you got a refill. No wonder he bankrupted a casino.

Here's a thought. Trumpty Dumpty likes having things named after him. I would like to draw the attention of my American friends to the case of Dennis Potter. When diagnosed with a cancer that eventually killed him, he named it "Rupert", after Rupert Murdoch.

For most working-class folks lucky enough to own a home, that's the largest asset we'll ever own. We pay taxes on its growing value every year, even if we don't sell it. The uber-rich should be taxed on the value of all their wealth, every year, even when they don't sell it.

My favorite new Star Trek ornament this year: The Catspaw Enterprise replica from Factory Entertainment. (Last year, I hung their crystal-embedded Catspaw Enterprise. This year, it's the version of the Enterprise just on a chain.)

The willfully-ignorant fool in the Oval Office wants you to believe he cut drug prices by as much as 600%. If this were the case, the drug company would pay YOU 6x the price of the drug, every time you got a refill. No wonder he bankrupted a casino.

If it wasn't apparent before, the extent to which the Epstein file release has been redacted by Trump's lackeys makes very clear that the convicted felon and adjudicated rapist does, indeed have a whole lot to hide.

"Moon" is here and I'm delighted. Libraries are awesome, y'all www.denvergazette.com/2025/12/18/d...

I am grateful that there is a strong American leader whose soul is filled with compassion.

The former "party of law and order," which once pretended to "back the blue" is, in fact, the party that hires criminals and pardons violent terrorists.

Reposting. Please remember these words, and spread the sentiment. Never forget that the one thing the 1% fears, is an educated and united 99%!

What can you do today? Honor the legacy of Rob Reiner by being patriotic and using your voice against #authoritarianism. #speakout

“Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people.” – Rob Reiner

Brilliant insight along with specific actionable strategies.

Appropriate to repeat ;)

[email protected] : Were you satisfied with the answers you’ve gotten so far in this classified briefing on Venezuela? AOC: Oh, hell no. It was a joke. This was not a serious intelligence briefing. This was the communication of an opinion.

So uh, we all understand that we may face sanctions even long after he’s gone as a result of trump’s blatant war crimes, right? If you think the economy is bad now…

Trump and Vance give the economy high marks — the numbers say otherwise The president and vice president grade the economy at "A-plus-plus-plus." In reality, it's a C at best.

In April, the Working People Podcast with @maximillianalvarez.bsky.social documented how the Trump administration tried to rule higher education through fear—abducting students, slashing research, criminalizing protest, and targeting DEI. A warning that’s only grown louder.

👇🏽

Susie Wiles' open admission that Trump's prosecutions are about retribution will give his targets more ammo to argue in court that the prosecutions are vindictive, says @swin24.bsky.social. On the pod, he's fun and illuminating on this, on Leavitt's spin, and more: newrepublic.com/article/2045...

WHO AMONG US hasn't sat down 11 times with a journalist and a tape recorder only to be shocked that they'd publish stuff we talked about?

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.
