"Some people who have a very racist view of the world will not understand even the basic logic that if you care about human well-being you should care about all humans' well-being." Greta Thunberg, to me, on why she speaks out on Gaza, & not just the climate crisis.

Great news! I was just there and loved it!! apnews.com/article/bide...

To watch... www.nytimes.com/2024/11/21/m...

Most touching state funeral I have watched. They even sang John Lennon's Imagine, apparently his favorite song. All the speeches were outstanding! #Carter is being laid to rest in a befitting manner for the best ex President ever!

Beautiful eulogy during #Carter's funeral today. It was delivered by the son of former President Gerald Ford, the Republican he unseated and who became his closest friend. He said that through his Habitat for Humanity work, Carter wanted to remind people that Jesus was a carpenter and not a king.

Regarding the Gulf of America, I think we should all support #Mexico in getting back California, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, and Arizona, as well as parts of Colorado, Kansas, and Wyoming. It all used to be Mexico.... #gulfofamerica #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

#Caterday waiting for the snow… #Baloo

The most petty, classless, narcissistic ass to ever occupy the Oval Office.

Scary! Don't let the witch hunt happen again! Trump Advisor Previews Terror Crackdown open.substack.com/pub/kenklipp...

Happy New Years everybody. And a word of caution:

Shout out to all the local Pakistani and Chinese restaurants and their staff who will be working Christmas. As the manager at Royal Kabob told me, "Brother, we're always open. Even on the Day of Judgement, we'll be open." Respect.

Fairy Meadows, Gilgit Baltistan, #BeautifulPakistan People don't know what they are missing!~

For any body interested in the Indian occupation of #Kashmir, here is the latest chapter in its cultural appropriation of the place. This was NOT about literature! Disgusting it was! standwithkashmir.medium.com/kashmir-litf...

Mad men…

Baloo is my Times Cat of the Year

In elementary school, my teacher told my mother I was “unteachable.” I was behind in every subject, including reading. Then I found this one book in the school library and connected with it, reading it hundreds of times. I made a career in reading, writing, and editing.That’s what a book can do.

Just to be clear: however bad you think the Trump second term will be, I assure you it’ll be worse. Bookmark this if you don’t believe me.

For a myriad of reasons, America chose the monster. It chose the hatred, the fear, the nihilism, the separation. The essential question now becomes: are there enough of us left who refuse to let us become a monstrous nation? johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/america-ch...

Happy #caterday from Baloo. I bought this small carpet in Skardu, Gilgit Baltistan. I never thought it would match his colors so perfectly!

This is an interesting conversation with somebody I have had huge disagreements in the past. With everything that is going on and the huge divisions on every level, one often wonders if it is growing pains or the beginning of disintegration of what we once held dear. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSDh...

Is this a parody film or horror movie or both? I think it's a Pied Piper remake if you ask me. trump2024.film

Everyone obeying in advance. Bending the knee to power. Democrats meanwhile are still concerned about civility. We're all gonna get screwed until folks wake up. www.nytimes.com/live/2024/12...

Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries gets it. Americans want lower costs on groceries, gas, child care and housing. Donald Trump and the MAGA Republican politicians have plans for mass deportations and more tax breaks for the super rich, but neither of those are going to help us.

1. It’s time I explained what I mean by rightwing media apparatus. I don’t mean Fox. I don’t mean Breitbart or Twitter. I don’t mean Joe Rogan or TikTok.

NEVER NORMALIZE TRUMP. NEVER!!!

I want to clarify something for legal purposes. I don’t in fact know if Stephen Miller is a vampire or not. He looks, acts, and talks like one but I don’t in fact know if he drinks blood or will die in direct sunlight. It’s just my opinion that he’s a blood sucking monster.

True!

This is so insane

"At best, Trump’s picks will seek to simply replace one dangerous, nuclear-tinged Great Power conflict with another. At worst, they will not do the former, and embroil the United States into two of the latter." responsiblestatecraft.org/trump-nation...

Via @edwardluce.bsky.social I depend on his insights! "Chaos is a playground in which #Trump thrives. It is also his preferred management style. Trying to divine Trump’s wishes through his appointments is futile." www.ft.com/content/ca73...

I did a deep dive into Kash Patel back when I was at MSNBC, in case you’re interested. He’s a deeply strange and alarming and sycophantic figure (do you all know about the children’s book?)
