1/ I recently wrote about Frances Perkins—FDR’s Labor Secretary and first woman cabinet member. She is best known as the architect of the New Deal but she had a lesser-known achievement: She dismantled her era’s version of ICE.🧵

Good morning. We are open.

CBS News filmed but DIDN'T air this interview in which NYC Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss defends NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani, clarifying that Mamdani is opposed to Zionism and Israel's genocide but he's NOT antisemitic. A Jewish rabbi praising a Muslim Mayor. I wonder why they didn't air it? 🤔 #USPolitics

On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me, a partridge in a pear tree. Ate it.

If this were here, Trump would cancel it.

'When authoritarians seize power, it is crucial to recognize courageous defenders of freedom who rise and resist,' the Norwegian Nobel Committee said as it announced Maria Corina Machado as the winner of the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize

Appalled to see this image of Donald Trump and the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein projected onto Windsor Castle. Please... for the love of all that is good, do not share it on all your social media channels... because it simply wouldn't be done to remind the world of the association

I'd really recommend doing this, especially if you have the opportunity to visit a 19 Century graveyard. Not only will you be shocked at how many babies and young children are there, but there will also be a sad and surprising number of women of childbearing age.

Science is real

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Happy Fake Bandage Day!

It's my birthday which means I get to shamelessly ask for reposts! I'm David and I'm an odd mix: Amateur wildlife photographer, digital artist (3D and painting), bird-nerd, spider-liker, word-writer, and dungeon-master. I'm vehemently anti-AI and live in the lower Blue Mountains, west of Sydney AU.

"$3 million is an enormous amount of money to have in superannuation and all the government’s proposing is that people that are fortunate enough to have that much get slightly smaller tax concessions than they currently do,” said @richarddenniss.bsky.social. #auspol

Good morning friends. This kid is spot on 👏🏼💙

I completely disagree. Being called “woke” is a f**king badge of honour. It’s the biggest compliment going. If people are so morally hollow that they turn basic human kindness into an insult then good luck to them. But woke is one of the few good things we’ve got going. So, woke it is.
