A Christmas tree at the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra (Monastery of the Caves), founded in 1051.

One of the reasons (besides the bravery of our glorious army) why Ukraine will never surrender is our spirit. Today in Kyiv, after last night’s attack ⬇️

In a powerful moment, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey made clear he will NOT back down to the 47 regimes efforts to terrorize Somali immigrants. This is powerful. This is what real leaders do!

Today’s Christmas tree is on Kontraktova Square in Kyiv – right beside the Ferris wheel.

According to a new study, members of Congressional leadership perform 47% better in stock market trades than their rank-and-file peers, thanks to access to nonpublic information. Today would be a great day to ban ALL elected officials from trading stock, don't you think?

Pastor Black: While I was in the middle of using the words of Jesus, they opened fire on me. It was so clear that they had been so poorly trained, or — the alternative — that they had been deliberately told to escalate violence against peaceful protesters.

While Mike Johnson is running around trying to act like he’s not the most incompetent Speaker in US history, we’re pushing hard to extend the ACA tax credits for millions of Americans. We’re almost there, and you can help!

NEWS: The Institute of Museum & Library Services has restored ALL previously canceled federal grants to libraries, following a ruling by a federal judge in Rhode Island last month. This is a massive win for libraries & communities in every state & territory! Learn more: www.ala.org/news/2025/12...

Congratulations to Justin Crosby (D) on his election victory in Mississippi CD22 — he flipped the newly redrawn seat by defeating the incumbent with approximately 53 % of the vote. This win is part of a broader shift after court-ordered map revisions aimed at increasing majority-Black districts.

In a world awash with negative science/health news this is unashamedly great news. connectsci.au/news/news-pa...

There was a 13 point swing last night in TN-07. If we see a 13 point swing in South Carolina in Nov 2026 Lindsey Graham will be retired and I will be the first ever pediatrician Senator.

📚 🦸🏻‍♀️RUTHERFORD COUNTY — “Go and thank your librarian. Absolute heroes.” Library director Luanne James gets thunderous applause for bravely blowing the whistle on library board director Cody York, the latest front in the right-wing war on books in Tennessee. Full: www.threads.com/@thetnholler...

Jacob Frey: "If we are now at the point where the federal govt is deploying agents on legal American citizens with a goal of uprooting people who have formed lives here, have families here, started businesses here, definitively made Minneapolis a better place, everybody should be speaking out."

As many expected, the truth is finally coming out, they were just fishermen. The family of the Colombian man killed in the Sept. 15 U.S. military strike in the Caribbean Sea has now filed a formal complaint with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, alleging

🚨🚨🚨Senator Mark Kelly with a special announcement. 1/2

Greetings from Kyiv, where the holiday mood is in the air. During the war? Yes – especially during the war. I’m having a warcoffee and getting ready to write in my favourite magic bookstore.

I didn’t show it yesterday. One Christmas tree per day 🙈 This beauty was also at the railway station, just on the other side. Kyiv rocks.

ICE raids are cruel, inhumane, and do nothing to serve public safety. My responsibility is to be the mayor to each and every person that calls this city their home. That includes millions of immigrants— of which I am one.

Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol made $95 million last year. His workers are striking for the bare minimum. Glad to be on the right side of the picket line with them.

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

Klobuchar: "What the president has done is taken a horrific crime that occurred in DC and went 2,400 miles away to Somali & somehow indicted an entire group of people, 80k of them in my state, as well as all naturalized citizens. This is what he does. He tries to make people hate each other."

By the way, the Christmas tree in Kyiv is almost ready. I saw it yesterday. The official opening is coming soon (no announcements, of course)

🚨Damn.🚨NY showed up!🚨 Posted 15 minutes ago. 1/2

i love this guy and his absurd flag

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

If telling the troops not to follow illegal orders is “sedition,” what do we call colluding with the Kremlin to manipulate the U.S. President into advancing Russian interests over America’s?

A calm night in Kyiv. There’s power at home. Living one day at a time lets me truly enjoy this moment. Tomorrow will be another day. I’m just grateful for this one.

This episode of Improv In Real Life featuring Louis Kornfeld of Magnet Theater in NYC & many a Geico commercial is live. We talk about the ways that improv can be a way to step out of the approval/disapproval paradigm, and make comedy out of our not-so-niceness. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i...

Kyiv today. The harder the attack, the more determined I am to look for something good. Christmas magic in the windows of a central department store – installations inspired by the works of Grasya Oliyko, a Ukrainian illustrator.

New York City helped my mother become the artist she is today. The next generation deserves a City Hall that lifts up tomorrow's artists as well.

I stand with these veterans.

New Yorkers are tired of being asked to believe in a system that has delivered little for them. They want a politics that can see the scale of the crisis, and actually start to tackle it.

Q: “Are you affirming you think Trump is a fascist?” TRUMP: “That’s ok, you can just say yes.” ZOHRAN: “Ok. Yes.”

Let’s be clear. @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social got Trump so charmed that Trump posted two photos of the two of them with Franklin Roosevelt’s portrait behind them AND one of just Mamdani and FDR’s portrait.

Trump just posted this

Bless @sophiegilbert.bsky.social @theatlantic.com: "The past decade has been a gloomy lesson in how limited a proportion of men actually see women as equal human beings...The fish rots from the head. The pig is in the Oval Office." www.theatlantic.com/culture/2025...

Kelly: "I never expected after serving 25 years in the Navy flying combat missions over Iraq and Kuwait, flying the Space Shuttle, that now I've got to worry about my personal safety and that of my wife, Gabby Giffords, who was already nearly assassinated, because of something the president said."

So MAGA, You see these two? One of them is your dear leader, the other is a Prince in a country where CHRISTIANITY IS BANNED. Where you can be arrested for being a CHRISTIAN, for displaying CHRISTIAN symbols and even, for having a bible. But go ahead, tell me how much fucking MONEY he's investing.

NEWS: The Epstein survivors just blasted this White House in one of the most powerful press conferences I have ever seen. Please share this everywhere. Uplift their voices as much as possible, and I will not stop fighting for the truth. open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered. He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here : www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/glo...

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

Every outlet worth a damn should be calling this out. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

New York City billboards are displaying the president’s 91 felony charges.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Acton: I’m running against a guy, Vivek Ramaswamy, who has said that people are struggling in Ohio because they’re lazy, they’re mediocre, they’re not working hard enough. And I can absolutely tell you that is not the Ohioans I know or see. I think he’s completely out of touch.

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."
