In a nation as wealthy as ours, everyone should be able to afford to meet their basic needs–food to feed their families, a safe and affordable place to live, and go to the doctor if they’re sick. Our leaders need to get their priorities straight. www.cbpp.org/research/pov...

"Iron laws of the world"? Some of America's most important national accomplishments are about leading humanity away from this kind of bullshit. If we let ideologues like Stephen Miller drag us back into a world where brute force is all that matters, all of us will be less safe.

My thoughts today are with the security people and police officers who defended the Capitol on January 6 and have been treated with such distain since by the GOP. For them and the Democratic leadership who lived through such chaos and no doubt continue to carry the scars within. We will not forget.

Forever grateful. A hero in the deepest sense.

Reformed January 6th participant (who refused a pardon): “You can't gaslight me. I was there. I saw the officers being pepper sprayed. I watched one of them fall down and hit his head and his back. So don't be telling me it wasn't violent.”

FIVE YEARS & he has not been held accountable for one of the most disgraceful events in this nation's history. Trying to overturn a fair election in an attempted coup against his own government is the very definition of TREASON. We can never move forward until this is fully adjudicated. #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

This cannot be minimized or forgotten. I know my #bluecrew knows this. How do we get the magas to understand? I’m at a loss to anyone who supports the narcissist who directed this to happen.

This Biennale edition looks closely at AI’s creative residue: what happens when image-making becomes a conversation between human memory & machine suggestion. What remains after prompts end. Where memory, dataset, & intention meet. https://joellemctigue.substack.com/p/the-wrong-biennale-7th-edition

Big time- make no mistake about it.

I’m at a loss. While this choice to attack a sovereign nation by the dump is not a surprise, it is none the less terrible and deeply, utterly disturbing.

Nothing about this is okay. The President of the United States is on Fox News right now gabbing about the U.S. attack on Venezuela before addressing the American people. So the new order of information is: Truth Social → Fox News → the public → Congress, maybe?

Somewhere right now, a song’s being uploaded that’ll never chart, never trend, and still mean everything to somebody. That’s the good stuff. Drop yours here.

Thank goodness for Jesse Wells and his music. A guiding voice.

-A living wage -Guaranteed healthcare -The right to join a union -The right to vote -The right to choose when, how, and with whom you start a family -The right for you and your family to live free from gun violence These are the foundations of real freedom.

Beautiful image!

The magic of self-care doesn't heal through grand gestures, but through small, honest actions. A conscious breath in silence, a healing walk through the woods, a loving "no" and an equally loving "yes" to myself, and many moments of stillness.

Good morning, Bluesky! A scene from the woods, from the Shenandoah Valley, VA. #rockintuesday #shenandoah #rocks #forest #trees #nature #eastcoastkin #photography #lichen #moss

Here a novel idea, let’s let the survivors redact the Epstein files.

Teachable Tuesday?We were making painted papers in primary classes and a student dropped their work. It fell painted-side down. We thought it looked like its own artwork. I snapped a pic before we cleaned it up. Painting to print. #teachablemoment #painting #printmaking #temporaryart #elementaryart

We published hundreds of stories on global health and development each year. Some are ... alas ... a bit underappreciated by readers. We've asked our staff for their favorite overlooked posts of 2025.

If Marjorie Taylor Greene *really* cared about the Epstein victims, she would read the names of the perpetrators on the House floor (where she would have immunity) before she leaves office.

35 million Americans live in poverty, and yet, this is what our president is focused on.

It’s the last #StandingStoneSunday of the year … thinking back to some fantastic sites I saw for the first time in 2025. This is one of the very best - beautiful Uragh on the Beara peninsula, Co Kerry.

Something to wake up to this Monday morning……… youtu.be/vSvw2-8cn98?...

Doesn't it strike you as strange that the people who shout long and loud that America is a Christian nation founded on Christian principles are the very people who don't want Christ's teachings of tolerance, pacifism, and generosity codified in law?

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Millions of Americans remain at jobs they hate for one reason: the health insurance they receive. That’s absurd. Universal health care will give Americans the freedom to choose the work they want without worrying about health care coverage. Another reason for Medicare for All.

1991: The United States thinks it has decisively won the Cold War against Russia. 2025: The United States' foreign policy is being dictated by Russia.
