The U.S. could end the nation’s hunger crisis with the money spent on ONE new goddamn aircraft carrier or whatever the fuck.

This is a good reminder that if we don’t bring everyone along in a fight for equity, the cultural issues we are experiencing will persist. Destitute, rural, white communities have been vulnerable for decades - in New England and across the country. www.filmsforaction.org/articles/we-...

It’s a good time to learn about Frances Perkins. My arrogant AF brother lectured me over the holidays about how we need a restructuring like what happened under FDR. He had never heard of Frances Perkins. But he does work for BlackRock so… I must need his advice 🙄 bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

Thinking I need to find a Notorious RBG collar to wear around - to support Justice Sotomayor and make my feelings crystal clear.

this seems specifically designed to break mail-in voting (where deadlines are defined by postmark)

Well this is a sordid rabbit hole…. All the Epstein content, put in a Google-like interface for easy browsing www.jmail.world

Anyone who supports this kind of thing, whatever their reason, has a broken soul. Anyone who supports or defends the political regime that activates it cannot be trusted on any level.

Sending light and love to everyone. May you all be having Christmas cookies for breakfast, if you celebrate today. 🎄♥️✨

Adorable - also, there are a lot of great dads out there ♥️

Tonight’s Rob Reiner movie? A family viewing of The Princess Bride.

Someone posts about the drop in arrests in our town and instead of being excited, people were complaining… about lack of active policing, doubt it represented a drop in crime, etc, etc. Can’t sell people good news…

Well this will go well… FFS

College journalism strikes again www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

Here’s a crazy - but plausible - theory: Trump was Epstein’s financial partner. He married Ivana and Malania to pay them off/make it impossible to testify against him/get prenups. He is paying Ivanka/Jared off w access to Saudis because she was a victim and she’s smart enough to take him down.

60 Minutes, dead at 57. The murder weapon was Bari Weiss.

Love wins ♥️ This gives me hope and fills me with gratitude for Rick Steves and all the Americans who are stepping up to sustain each other. This Advent, as we approach Christmas, it shatters the darkness with an intense ray of light.

We started our Rob Reiner holiday movie series tribute tonight by watching Stand By Me. Still epic.

♥️♥️♥️

More is more…

A hunch of unredacted Epstein documents shared on another platform, from an unidentified foreign source so… buyer beware. ia600705.us.archive.org/21/items/eps...

Pam Bondi is going to lose everything being loyal to a pedophile. How many times have we seen this play out already⁉️ #Epstein

Still laughing about the fact that dude slapped his name on a memorial building, like he absolutely cannot wait for his own death

Encouraging news from Ukraine

It sounds like Memphis is basically an occupied city, and part of the reason we don’t see more of it is that people are scared. Adults aren’t working, kids aren’t in school, and if you are not white, you are getting pulled over all.the.time. This is unAmerican - and illegal.

Wow. Powerful.

Holy crap chart from Gallup

This belongs in the @nytimes.com - it is 100% what should be done. The stupidest most undeserving of Americans and they have been steeling from other Americans for decades.

There are so many simple yet powerful truths here. AI is a mechanism to turn us into standardized parts /sheep in service of an ownership class. I’ve been thinking a lot about who has the skill of resisting and challenging what is served up as “reality” - so many people don’t have it.

This is as close as the Catholic Church will come to telling the ruling junta in the United States to eff off. Sounds like a ding dong the wicked witch is dead situation too 😏

End-of-year planner porn is all around. Here for it 😛 Also, Happy Epstein File Release Day to all who celebrate!! 📚🧾📰📝📜 (my expectations are muted but my hope is real)

Minnesota’s Indivisible Two Harbors is so committed to fighting for our democracy that they rally every Saturday morning — even when it’s dangerously cold outside: “Dress warm and join us!" Find your local organizers: indivisible.org/groups

Thank goodness.

A Serious country that does not want more terrible mass shootings

Do you know what I resent? I learned to distrust my gut when I was younger. People would dismiss my perspective or suggest I was overreacting. These pictures confirm my suspicion that we were gaslit for most of our lives. I have yet to see anyone I am surprised by in these Epstein photos.

Elon Musk is worth $600 billion. If you spent $10,000 a day, it’d take you 100 days to spend $1 million. It would take 164,400 years to spend $600 billion. Billionaires shouldn’t exist. They are the biggest welfare queens America has ever seen.

A big reason things are a clusterf*ck is that we operate society like a complicated system, when it is actually a complex system. At the core are unexamined beliefs about control. Control optimizes simple and complicated systems - but trottles complex ones. open.substack.com/pub/engagedo...

We have to get the idiots out of D.C. because they are a distraction from a much bigger threat.

Looking forward to seeing the Epstein files. Because things are bonkers at the moment, which suggests there is something fun to see…

I stopped posting to Threads because… FB but I occasionally dip in. Today: revenge of liberal arts grads, who interpret how Christopher Anderson trolled the Trump team with epic precision in Vanity Fair with photos, using their…vanity. SO GOOD.

Congratulations to @aftynbehn.bsky.social for pulling out a 13 pt swing in a special congressional election in a Tennessee. Incredible. She did not win but proved that people are paying attention and open to hearing something different - and that is GREAT news.

Meanwhile in the EU… Congratulations to European women for winning this fight for freedom. AND congratulations to European men, who have evolved to see that this is required for equity and justice. Well done 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

this is some Person of the Year shit right here

No. No. No.

Great to see - not sure it will change the outcome but it will require the weasels to sign off on it.

Update - black unemployment is now 8.3% according to the most recent jobs report.
