Snow Last Night Minnesota

"America’s so-called “leadership class” is a sham. Most of them do not care a whit for the rest of the US. They are out for themselves." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

💯👇 You can’t bomb a country and claim you want its success. Zelensky is right not to trust indicted war criminal putin.

Suspect Brian Cole told the FBI that he believed conspiracy theories holding that the 2020 election was stolen.

Now that the Christmas and New Year’s concerts at the Kennedy Center have been canceled, guess who’s going to be up all night posting crap?

A Warning From the Future open.substack.com/pub/thejackh...

GOP = Greedy Old Pimps.

We don't hear it for ICE workers.

Also you will never see this...

But they take such risks! Unlike the ungrateful employees who work while sick lest they lose their homes. What a cruel joke...

No business plan should ever exist that relies on underpaying staff to survive.

And if you can’t pay your workers a livable wage, you should not have a business!!!!

This is where there are two options and the DEMS aren't talking about either. 1. Repeal SEC Rule 10b-18 or 2. 150% Tax on companies, who partake in this.

Maybe if corporations stopped pumping billions into stock buybacks they’d have tens of millions to pay their employees. Nah…too radical.

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.” What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.” Funny how that works.

BREAKING: A Russian newspaper today — “America no longer sees our country as a threat… The US leader’s philosophy is closer to the values of Russia’s president, not the politicians of the Old World… he sees Europe as a liberal stronghold that must be destroyed…” Read that again.

Let's hope @rbreich.bsky.social is right and that the US will finally take a long, hard, look in the mirror. The "American Dream" they've been sold since Reaganomics is actually a dystopian nightmare.

The Second-Order Streisand Effect is a social phenomenon where if a party makes an effort to censor information, discussion and news about the censorship paradoxically leads to an increased awareness of Barbara Streisand, a musician whom most "Zoomers" would probably have otherwise never heard of

The reason the U.S. is full of masked secret police dragging people to foreign torture prisons and women are sent to prison for seeking abortions, and the reason the UK is a wreck collapsing to fascism is because of neoliberal centrists who hate the left more than they hate fascists.

Delroy Lindo is on a long list of actors long overdue for an Oscar nomination. He might finally break that ceiling with his role in Sinners. We caught up to talk about Ryan Coogler's "brilliant" epic, and, as always, he has some keen observations to share

Pulsating aurora is under-appreciated

The mountain wears the grey like a vow of silence, but the earth is a lover who cannot keep a secret. It erupts in yellow fire, wild and desperate. I do not love you with the stone’s patience. I love you with this sudden gold, terrestrial, reckless, and burning to be seen. #photography #patagonia

VOTE DEMOCRAT FOR THE UPCOMING HOUSE AND SENATE SEATS. TRUMP WILL CRY. SO WILL THE CULT REPUBLICANS.

I've spent most of my 6+ decades living somewhat close to saltwater and even worked in Alaska on fishing boats in my late teens. Point being, I've seen eight zillion Seagulls in my life but up until June of this year I never saw a baby and I saw lots of them! #PismoBeach #Birds #Nature #Photography

WATCH — @jenpsaki.bsky.social : “Let’s go back to those 10 co-conspirators…” @rokhanna.bsky.social : “Some of them were at parties where you had 13 & 14 year-olds paraded naked… They did disgusting things. The Epstein class needs to be held accountable. Release the files.”

Thank you to all the performers who are canceling their events at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

The truth is Russia made up the allegations against Ukraine to keep the war going. Putin has done this before. He doesn’t want peace. He sure as hell doesn’t want Ukraine to succeed!

Whoever gets rid of "Citizens United" will have done this country a heroic service.

Friends — Here's one "big idea" for how we can start to fix the system in 2026. Let me know your thoughts. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/how-to-get-rid-of-citizens-united

New in PN: Why every vestige of Trump must be torn down "The truly devoted will still open their wallets to buy lifetime supplies of Trump Bronzer for Men, Trump Blast Energy Drink, & Trump Adult Diapers. But his name should not adorn anything official, anything representing our country & its govt"

This is the 7th person whose sentence was commuted by Trump that has been rearrested on new charges. And don't pretend Trump cares about fraud in MN. This guy bilked over a $1 billion and Trump let him go.

Their contracts were with the Kennedy Center NOT the Trump-Kennedy Center. And they signed with a different board.

The best part about it is that their contracts are with the “Kennedy Center”, not the “Child Rapist’s Kennedy Center”.

Issa Rae has canceled her sold out performance at the Kennedy Center. Pulitzer Prize winner Rhiannon Giddens, Peter Wolf, Low Cut Connie, and the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, D.C., have also canceled. Lin-Manuel Miranda has canceled the entire Kennedy Center run of Hamilton.

I have not put this on here yet because of the timing but a few days ago the vet gave me the news I'd been half expecting for a while. Annie-cat's kidneys are failing and she only has a few months left, probably not many. My baby is finally in her little old lady era.
