Psychopathic, sadistic rapist needs to see a jail cell, today. Bless the victims 🙏 Healing can only begin when the hurting stops ❤️‍🩹 let’s stop this.

Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

In the ruined turbine hall of a DTEK power station, shattered by russian attacks, a choir sings Shchedryk. Truly, a performance worth a million words 💔

Ethiopia is responding to its first documented outbreak of Marburg virus disease (MVD). As of Dec 16, 14 confirmed cases have been reported in the South & Sidama regions, with 9 deaths and 5 recoveries. Small numbers, but a high fatality rate. reliefweb.int/report/ethio...

Rob Reiner: “Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people."

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing. All from his movies.

Investigation: Florida routed $35M+ through agencies to election-season ads opposing abortion and marijuana measures, tapping child-protection, public-health and opioid funds as records left totals unclear. theintellectualistofficial.substack.com/p/florida-ag...

Lawless, criminal behavior

The start of Covid’s 7th year is the perfect time to revisit the pandemic hobbies you have abandoned: you can get back to baking and puzzles, you can get back to reading and calling your friends; and you can even get back into doing what you can to protect other people.

GLASHEEN: Antifa is our primary concern right now. That's the most immediate violent threat we're facing BENNIE THOMPSON: Where is antifa headquartered? GLASHEEN: ... ... ... we are building out the infrastructure right now THOMPSON: What does that mean?

ICYMI — “I identified myself as a U.S. citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. ICE Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out… this experience violated the very principles I fought to defend.”

Bless you all and happy Sunday. Om Mani Padme Hum 🕉️ One love ❤️ One people 🌎

The Hepatitis B vaccine was expected to prevent 9.5 million infections, 2.4 million chronic cases, and save 600,000 lives in the US by 2050. The federal vaccine committee has blood on their hands.

A picture is worth a 1000 words. The birth dose of hepatitis B vaccines in the USA eliminated perinatally acquired hepatitis B infection from over 20,000 cases a year before the vaccine was introduced to <20 cases a year. The gaslighting by the current members ACIP is obscene, unethical and cruel.

Russia sends stolen Ukrainian children to North Korea to become militarized.

Hey, it’s Franklin! Coming over to play Growing a little Everyday 🎶

Stop saying, "They'll never impeach him." Low expectations grant them permission to continue to do nothing. (Which is a relief to them.) Demand integrity. Expect better of them. Require them to do their jobs and honor the oaths they swore. Stop giving them permission. THEY. ARE. LISTENING.

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.

A video captured of Maria a Street Vendor reunited with her Autistic 15 yr old son after he was wrongfully detained for 50 days.

“I’m buying this ice scraper”

if you have issues with your brain, it is SO MUCH MORE LIKELY to be because of trauma, or lead poisoning, or microplastics, or covid, than it is to be anything genetic. But accepting that our current society is unavoidably brain damaging is a convo nobody is ready for

Trump has doubled down on his call to kill the opposition, it is time for congress to start the impeachment process and arrest this bubba sucking traitor.

Alison Hume MP shares an account of severe #MECFS and warns that many healthcare professionals lack understanding of severe ME — especially its hallmark symptom, post, exertional malaise PEM — and that patients are too often pushed into pathways that simply aren’t appropriate.

Leak the Epstein files. Now.

“Survival matters because survival is proof. Proof that the pain didn’t finish the story. Proof that you held on long enough to make it here, to these words, to this exact moment.” https://twloha.com/blog/one-good-reason/

Most of us have no idea how bad it is inside ICE detention centers because they have kept it hidden. Then a truth teller shows up and says it plain. The conditions are filthy. The treatment is inhumane. The abuse is Systematic and routine.

Release the files, piggy.

10/10 for every protester who contributed to wrapping the White House in crime scene tape.

Now that we’ve all processed the information of Trump giving other men blowjobs (good for him?), let’s return to the fact he raped children and Putin has blackmail on him that Epstein knew about and likely provided to Russia. Impeachment and arrest now.

Kyiv, Sophia Square today. The annual “Empty Chairs” event – in support of journalists, writers, and cultural figures missing, imprisoned, or held captive because of russia’s war against Ukraine. I was there. I want the world to see.

This is a statement I received from a Epstein survivor who is a Jane Doe. Share it widely.

‘Death remains my intimate shadow partner. It has been with me since birth, always hovering close by. I understand one day we will finally waltz together into the ether. I hope when that time comes, I die with the satisfaction of a life well-lived, unapologetic, joyful, & full of love.’ —Alice Wong

You ever drunk dial your senator?

I think Senate folders are significantly underestimating how fucking angry Democratic voters are at them

No health care, no deal.

A lot of people have suffered, but at least it was for nothing.

Under Trump’s new healthcare plan, every American gets their own GoFundMe and a prayer emoji.

I really hope that when this ends— because it IS going to end— every last person responsible for these abominable abuses of power rots in prison for the rest of their miserable lives. No one who participates and profits from it has any business being accepted by polite society ever again.

The most corrupt administration in American history.

This guy doesn’t give a damn…about any other human being. He doesn’t even pretend like he does. He…is a suit full of BS…and a little of his own.

He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.

Notice that MAGA’s reaction to last night’s brutal losses is NOT “hey let’s try to win the will of the voters with good policy.” It’s, let’s end the filibuster, let’s end mail-in voting, all ideas for winning without really CONVINCING anyone to vote for them

AOC: "This is about, do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And they assignment is to come together across difference no matter what."
