On December 7, 1942, during the attack on Pearl Harbor, Dorie Miller manned anti-aircraft artillery & tended to the wounded under heavy fire; he was awarded the Navy Cross, the highest honor bestowed by the U.S. Navy at the time. This American hero of Pearl Harbor was killed in action 2 years later.

FIFA cited Trump's "exceptional and extraordinary actions to promote peace and unity around the world," referencing his role in the Abraham Accords (from his first term) and the recent Gaza ceasefire in his second term. The Abraham Accords were arms deals. & There is no ceasefire in Gaza.

By and large, I have agreed with the selection of Nobel Peace Prize laureates. Not this time.

I work in some of the most impoverished areas of the world and when I tell them there are American people who are hungry and who stand in lines for food, they think I'm joking. When they realize I'm not joking, they cannot believe that could happen in the United States. And frankly, neither can I.

Only the John Robert's Supreme Court would have even granted certiorari in this case. You spend your life staunchly believing certain things. For me, one of those things was the non-corruptibility of the U.S. Supreme Court. Shattered.

What a shocker. The Trump administration backing corporations' profits over the health and safety of the American people. Again. #resist

"A picture is worth a thousand words" was meant for images like this...

Meet two heroes of our times.

This is one of the repugnant things I ever heard her say--and that's saying a lot.

Mark Kelly sure seems like an American fit for the presidency.

I agree with Blitzburgh. #Steelers #NFL #Renegade #Tomlin #HereWeveGone

The indomitable Shirley Chisholm was born #OTD in 1924. In 1968, Chisholm became the first Black woman elected to the U.S. Congress. She represented NY's 12th Congressional District for 7 terms (1969-1983). Posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2015.

Love Berenice Abbott's photos of New York City from the 1930s!

I highly recommend the audiobook version of Separation of Church & Hate. The content substance is excellent in any format, but John's narration is one of the best vocal performances of a written work I've ever heard--his passion, personality, and comedic style come through vividly, masterfully. 👍

The love of money is the root of all evil.
