#DJTDailyfollies are racist

Oh. Crime was at a 30 year low when Trump called for our city to be militarily occupied. It has nothing to do with safety and everything to do with normalizing military suppression before the 2026 mid-terms. That’s not conspiracy. That’s what he is saying. The enshittification of DC just a detail.

#DJTDailyfollies putting our troops under a level of generalized (tho appropriate) scorn that we haven't seen since Vietnam...

Think I read this one...

Hoping Santa brings the peace of mind of knowing your govt finally realizes it's wrong to demonize kids, period.

Thank you, community Toys for Joy was a powerful reminder of what’s possible when people come together with open hearts and shared purpose. #holiday #ToysForJoy #CommunityCare #Oakland #Gratitude #HolidayGiving #MerryChristmas

For over 50 years, the founding members of the JSA have visited a special friend on Xmas Eve. This year the JSA notifies her that the criminals she testified against back in 1950 have all passed away. She no longer has to hide In the witness protection program -- Ma Hunkel can finally come home.

#Interestingly Plot twist: Deborah Allen’s 1987 single “Telepathy” connected her with Prince, who wrote the single under the alias ‘Joey Coco.’ Country-pop with a lil’ purple edge to it. #Prince #DeborahAllen #OneHitWondered

Cartooning!

An amazing thread of lost history artifacts

1840s sugar bowls with different slogans; Ban slavery. It’s unsavoury.Think about the slave’s bravery. Sugar is sweet and people should be sweet too. Sugar is sweet, so is equality – West India Sugar. Why make them suffer for your needs?

Some memes are eternal.

it's crazy that 500 years ago, you would see the ruler of your country maybe once in your life and hear whispers that they're the Sun God, but now with social media, you get to see on a daily basis that they're the most unhinged, idiotic, and unhappy person you know

111 years ago, on the 25th of December 1914, soldiers from opposing sides formed a temporary informal ceasefire 5 months after the start of World War I known as the ‘Christmas truce’. Burials and prisoner swaps occurred. #otd #history 🗃️

Our favorite writer would have turned 101 today! Rod Serling was born December 25, 1924. As he so famously quipped, “I was a Christmas present that was delivered unwrapped.” As Lois Nettleton ("The Midnight Sun") said, he was "a lovely gift to the world." Merry Christmas, all!

A reminder that yesterday everybody in Scandinavia - EVERYBODY, in numbers that rival the Super Bowl - gathered with family to watch a 1958 Disney cartoon special. boingboing.net/2024/12/23/s...

"ICE officials are also investigating the couple for other crimes. They were found with a substantial amount of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. 'What are those luxury goods doing in their possession?' asked the ICE spokesman, taking a moment to adjust his mask."

We need your help to see the full picture of how the dismantling of the Education Department's Office for Civil Rights is affecting students, parents, school employees and their wider communities. Here's how to reach out:

I’m a new fan… One of the most improbable stories in classical music history: not because they are Black, but because they are seven siblings in one family of virtuosos. The parents of the award winning Kanneh-Masons deserve an award too.

it requires an absolutely staggering lack of self awareness for chatterton to complain that he has lost elite opportunities because he has anti-woke views.

Trump State Dept., including Under Secretary of State Sarah Rogers, “meets far-right AfD official ahead of MAGA gala” … 12/16/25 … 1/ www.ms.now/opinion/stat...

When student loan borrowers are in default, how does the Trump regime respond? By garnishing their wages. When billionaires see their wealth hit record highs, how does the Trump regime respond? By extending their tax cuts. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

The sneaky way the military works: An order may be unlawful, but they can avoid liability by claiming that it was improperly noted... During active duty I often avoided getting in trouble by putting them in positions where they'd have to admit their 'error' in order to charge me. They never did

More places need to do like this! They are owed...
