SNAP is a lifeline for workers in low-wage jobs. Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker. Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps. Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

This Christmas tree in the Kyiv city center shall remind everyone of the price of light in Ukraine these days. Often, heroic energy engineers pay the ultimate price to keep our homes lit and warm. Ordinary men and women are doing miracles to make sure that darkness cannot prevail. Photo DTEK.

These are our most impressive institutions and crucial for our survival as a people and a species.

Their “MAHA” bullshit was always a farce

For the second year in a row, the wealth gains for the 100 richest Americans exceeded what ALL American households spent on groceries combined. ~$995B for billionaires vs ~$775B in total grocery spending. We have an oligarchy and inequality problem masquerading as an affordability crisis.

To grow its ad biz in China, Meta has relied on ad agency partners given the power to create special enforcement-protected ad accounts and share them with resellers. The system produces so much fraud that Meta internally calls China its top “scam exporting nation.” www.reuters.com/investigatio...

The human cost of Trump's gutting of USAID: By the time Tor Top’s mother was sick with cholera, the nearby clinic had been shuttered for weeks. He bundled her into a canoe & paddled toward the nearest hospital, 8 hours away. Less than halfway into the journey, his mother died. New, @propublica.org

Listen, all I’m saying is that I’ve seen more pictures of Donald Trump partying with Jeffrey Epstein than I have of Donald Trump playing with his son Barron.

The US House Oversight Committee has released an additional batch of 70 photos out of 95,000 received from the Epstein estate. Images include: Noam Chomsky, former Israeli PM Ehud Barak, and UAE Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem. #OpDeathEaters www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/fq3vn...

Bulgaria had the largest anti-impunity protest in 30 years and after a couple of days the government resigned. #3E

US oligarch Elon Musk officially endorses the Pro-Russia collaborator Fidias Panayiotou. Panayiotou voted in favour of international child rapists, kidnappers and then travelled to party with them and hold closed-door meetings.

Day 381 of nonstop protests in Georgia. The Russia backed Georgian Dream introduced a new law to curb unsanctioned protests. Protestors continue to resist daily with no sign of stopping in the face of repression and tyranny. #3E

Hungary rejects fascism, millions call on the corrupt Orbàn regime to fall. #3E

Russian-Israeli spies take a stroll through Moscow in latest operation to dismantle Ukraine.

A new investigation revealed that school districts and local governments are reportedly overpaying for supplies because of Amazon contracts that bind them to dynamic pricing. Rather than allow for competitive bidding, the deals “covertly raise prices and inflate costs for governments.”

Trump’s Education Dept. Just Axed Biden’s Student Loan Plan

The Trump regime is pushing for Austria, Hungary, Poland, and Italy to leave European Union, this is the latest ploy by MAGA to weaken support for Ukraine and help Russia. Trump's inner circle is hoping to plunder Ukraine's territories and dissolve the EU for financial gain.

The antidote to corrupt and inept governance is an actively participating public. How many of us research the judges and minor officials that we elect? Attend town hall meetings regularly? Know the laws matriculating through our local legislatures?

"Ukraine is fighting for its survival. Drones and missiles hit Ukrainian cities most nights. Many Ukrainians nevertheless want, even now, to have a government that’s accountable to the public. Meanwhile, American and Russian kleptocrats are circling the country, looking for ways to make deals."

Today in 1972, as Apollo 17 astronauts Eugene Cernan, Harrison “Jack” Schmitt, and Ron Evans were rocketing toward the Moon, one of them looked back and took this iconic photograph, the first to capture a fully-illuminated round Earth and the only one taken by a human being.

The Kremlin had to exhibit self-control to praise this only after it was published.

My mother volunteers with the Assistance League & many of these women are kind, generous, compassionate people, but some have NO IDEA what's going on because they haven't seen it. She is making sure they do. I hope you'll do this with your circle, too. Yesterday she shared videos with 3 ladies.

These anti-vaxxers will kill babies. It feels awful to be that blunt, but the stakes here are *babies dying of preventable diseases*.

Pete Hegseth says he’s going to court-martial me for saying the same exact thing he said 9 years ago. What changed for Pete? Well to start, he spends all day thinking about how he can suck up to Trump. When Trump says jump, he says how high.

lot of big words when RACIST has always been right there

It's wild but not surprising that last week the White House was leaning into "these seditious Democrats dared suggest that troops were receiving illegal orders!!!" and this week they are scrambling to figure out who to blame for issuing illegal orders.

One of the conditions of Trump’s surrender to Putin is that he amplify Russian information warfare attacks on Ukraine, the European Union, democratic norms, the rule of law and the entire concept of civility in public life. Trump is a traitor to humanity.

Great use of our holiday dollars!

I PROMISE you... people like this guy, specifically, when they do public performative sadism like this? This guy has incredibly bad/dark shit in his closet. The kind of stuff that one might be publicly hanged for.

More than **600 children** are locked in ICE detention right now. This is the Trump blueprint for “safety”—ripping families apart and caging kids. No child should live like this. Not in our name. Not ever‼️‼️ #ICE #NotInOurName

Masked thugs knocked out a peaceful protester outside the #ICE facility in Portland and dragged his unconscious body away on a utility cart. Witnesses yelled, “He is not moving!” Another woman was tackled. This is state violence, and we document it so no one can deny it‼️

This week, Russia once again showed who truly holds power over Trump. My latest…

Every paper in America should have a 6 inch headline: Sitting Member of Congress, Adelita Grivalja, Attacked by Trump's ICE with Chemical Weapons. The Congresswoman was hit by gas pellet munitions when coming upon an ICE abduction at a restaurant she frequents in her community. #ICELawlessness

Masked ICE agent says he “doesn’t care” if he’s a citizen as he kidnaps U.S. teen. This has got to end. #Pinks #ProudBlue #Resist #FuckICE

Over 1 million jobs lost in 11 months. Private payrolls down 32K in November — largest drop in 2½ years. Unemployment climbing every month, long-term unemployment over 25%. This is the economy #Republicans promised?

WHO PAID KAVANAUGH'S DEBTS?! $200,000 is a LOT of money for baseball tickets and there's no way in hell he'd take out multiple cards and fail to collect for months or years when he didn't have enough $ to buy them outright. GMAFB. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
