Except Mary, Jesus and Joseph were brown… Merry Christmas, everyone.

Our favorite Christmas tradition: listening to the live broadcast of A Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols from Kings college, Cambridge.

Honestly you men - when a woman Follows you back, that is NOT an invitation to message her, especiallywhen it's clearly stated - as it is in my BIO - no DMs. Just STOP that shit. It's creepy af.

Great job to Ed Jasewicz and the Fulton County Board for hosting such a wonderful holiday party! It was great to see so many friends and neighbors come together to celebrate the season. Thank you for making it such a memorable evening.

#GVerse This is the 60 minutes preview for its episode canceled without explanation but undoubtedly because the government censors don't want you to hear about it.

This morning we bid farewell to our @ceilteachomn.bsky.social @maynoothuniversity.ie colleague, Dr Eoin Grogan, at a service at Mt Jerome cemetery. @aidanosullivan.bsky.social gave a beautiful speech on behalf of Ireland's community of archaeologists, & Dr Mary Leenane spoke on behalf of Maynooth.

Have you ever heard someone go off, and their words are so perfectly chosen, so well said in that moment, that you’re in awe? You think, “There’s nothing to add here,” and you applaud in your head. That’s exactly this. Pure perfection. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Let's all support this organization! #Resist #DEFIANCE @defiance.org

The Kennedy Center has started updating its building signage after its board voted yesterday to rename it “The Donald J. Trump and The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts.” Question: Don't you have to be dead to get a memorial?

There's nobody better at calling out the hypocrisy of #GOP so-called #Christians than @jamestalarico.bsky.social Let's all donate to his campaign!

The new New Math.

Weird living through the "does the US really need soft power in order to have all the things it wants?" experiment because the outcome is very obvious and yet they're running the experiment anyway

Another obscenity:

How many of these "Corporal Works of Mercy" have you done? 1 Feed the hungry 2 Give drink to the thirsty 3 Clothe the naked 4 Shelter the homeless 5 Visit the sick 6 Visit the imprisoned 7 Bury the dead

Trump claimed tonight that he cut drug prices by 400, 500, or even 600 percent. But this Wharton School grad doesn't seem to know that the most you can cut something is 100 percent, which would take the price to $0. I wonder how many MAGA loyalists have thought that through.

The list of "Corporal Works of Mercy" is one of the best ideas the #Catholic Church has ever had: Feed the hungry Give drink to the thirsty Clothe the naked Shelter the homeless Visit the sick Visit the imprisoned Bury the dead

I love @repmcgovern.bsky.social, who represents my hometown (Leominster, MA). He's speaking the truth about the GOP's healthcare approach to #healthcare.

I just contributed to an up-and-coming candidate to flip a ruby-red district blue. Blake Glendebein @blakegendebien.bsky.social is a dairy farmer with a great story. Please help him win Elise Stefanik's seat in Congress by making your donation RIGHT NOW! #VoteBlue #Democrat #Congress #NewYork

This is wild! You know the Vanity Fair article with Susie Wiles that everyone’s talking about? Yeah. This is basically the audio version Narrated by Nicolle Wallace, and it’s not “taken out of context”. ☠️😭

I am so honored to continue to have the support of IBEW Local 910! When I get to Congress, you can count on me to ensure that labor rights are protected, full stop.

No mention of this disgusting post from Trump on the Fox News website. Surprised?

His warning takes on even greater urgency today.

Notice that this post has 288 "Retruths" (there's a misnomer if ever there was one), and 875 "Likes." There are a lot of deplorable people out there.

You're in the Trump administration, or you're a Republican in Congress. You consider yourself a decent person. You lack the nerve directly to contradict Trump. But you COULD post your own comment on Rob Reiner to make clear Trump wasn't speaking for you. Has anyone done this?

Warnock: "If you live in Claxton, Georgia, if you live in rural America, even if you have wealth and resources and you're having a stroke and there's no ICU within a reasonable distance because of these draconian cuts, your life is in peril. We can do better than this."

Steve White ‪@stevewhite.bsky.social‬ Why did Gov. Dan McKee of Rhode Island describe the shooting at Brown University as “an unthinkable nightmare”? In this gun-obsessed country, it's the most thinkable thing I can think of. @govdanmckee.bsky.social #guns #shooting #Brown

This!!!!!!!!!!

President Reagan gutted the US mental health system in 1981, and it has never recovered. The GOP doesn't give a sh*t about mental health services and never has. The only time they mention the issue is as a smokescreen for their pathological gun fetish following a shooting, then they drop it.

Let’s get back to the important issue: Release the damn files!!

This is not a war. These are extra-judicial killings, which are illegal under American and international law. For the American government to be doing this is disgusting and shameful.

When is the US #tourism industry going to come out against Trump & MAGA? Looks like they've got nothing to lose and everything to gain by doing so.

Is there a legal defense fund for members of the military who disobey illegal orders? There should be, or else they will fear the legal consequences of standing firm.

Big news from Indiana today, where the #GOP rejected Trump's bid to redistrict. As of today, Trump is a lame duck president. There will be more defections.

Wow! GOP in Indiana showing political courage! I'm going to lie down for a while to recover from the shock. They should be proud of themselves, and their families should be proud of them. They're showing that you can take on Trump, and that's good for us all.

The old saying that a grand jury will indict a ham sandwich only applies if you actually have some ham, two slices of bread, and maybe a little mustard. The incompetence of this DOJ, while unsurprising, is stunning.

Here's another example of a former friendly country coming to grips with the reality that they can't trust the USA under the current regime. It is hard to imagine that their trust will be restored even if there is a regime change in 2028. Nobody likes to get whiplashed.

The Pirates of the Caribbean is US!
