The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

Mamdani rescinded every executive order issued by Eric Adams after Adams's indictment, but still the "New York Times" is focusing exclusively on two of those orders that had to do with Israel. There is someone singling out Israel here. And it isn't Zohran Mamdani.

You don’t have to want kids or even enjoy being around them. But it’s also worth unpacking why kids simply existing, learning, or having unmet needs reads as “annoying,” “unlikeable,” or “bad behavior.” This collective discomfort with noise, need, & vulnerability is why many ADULTS are struggling.

I need to see reposts of Black people from nonblack people on the skyline. Let’s go. Folks who know are talking to you. Stop listening to the platformed whites who make you feel good about ignorance.

Pauline Copes Johnson, a descendant of Harriet Tubman, has died at 98. She spent a lifetime guarding that legacy from the small city where Tubman spent her final years www.kolumnmagazine.com/2025/12/11/t...

One of the biggest moments of my career: USCIS canceled my client’s naturalization oath ceremony. We filed a lawsuit, went to trial, and the judge swore him in right there in the courtroom!

Just want to share with my American friends how the Australians respond to a shooting tragedy. Action, rather than thoughts and prayers.

MLK Jr. called her "The Mother of the Movement." Septima Poinsette Clark, educator & civil rights activist, died #OTD in 1987 at age 89. The Woman Who Schooled the #CivilRights Movement: ti.me/2HOZQ9s#OTD#CivilRights#history #blackhistory

There are videos of the Bondi Beach shooting floating around. You don’t have to share them or watch them.

God-with-us. That means God everywhere, at all times, in every place. In our bodies and every body. In all our barrenness, fearsome deserts, and waste-howling wildernesses. Real ones. The ones we create. The Kingdom is coming. Sunday Musings: Advent 2 open.substack.com/pub/dianabut...

Today should have broken me as a teacher. I am hurt, exhausted, trying to find time to contact families, spend quality time with my own, manage behavior, accommodate a new student & all the f|_|€|<ing copiers are broken b/c reasons and bad luck. But my colleagues are heroes. And so we rise.

This is too much.

“Trish Carter-Goodheart, a Democratic candidate and citizen of the Nez Perce Tribe, spoke plainly: Racism and discrimination remain real and persistent … When the conversation hit a nerve, [the GOP senator] abruptly stormed out, shouting: ‘Why don’t you go back to where you came from?’”

I am SO EXCITED to see @peggyflanagan.bsky.social get into the Senate and start cleaning up and taking names.

An ICE employee was among 16 men arrested after trying to solicit a minor for sex in Bloomington, Minnesota, police say "When he was arrested, he said, 'I'm ICE, boys,'" Bloomington Police Chief Booker Hodges said during a press conference. "Well, unfortunately for him, we locked him up."

Stunning. Archives are everything.

Systems that cover up abuse through deception, coercion, or abuse of power mimic the perpetrator and re-victimize the victim. Many lives have been sacrificed on the altar of secrecy for the sake of the church or the mission.

Siri, what's one way that I could prove the lack of basic logic inherent in transphobia with one stupid, ironic choice?

Very interesting nugget in this profile of (now former) Oklahoma Superintendent Ryan Walters' quiet relationship with far-right Texas billionaire Tim Dunn who, per sources, changed Walters "from loving schoolteacher to rightwing radical."

And now, if you read the devastating piece about what Venezuelan deportees endured at the El Salvador torture prison, read what incarcerated U.S. citizens endure in Alabama prisons. State prisons in the U.S. that are massive systems of human rights violations. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/oc...

10/10 take. No notes.

My local B&N. Flowers to match!

Good morning, beloved. It is difficult to change what we will not confront. Be courageous. Today is a great day to overcome evil with good.

This is not theoretical for me - I work at a school that’s a polling place. While thankfully the kids have off, they had to clear one threat before our professional development and then we had a second notice come through that sent all the meetings into confusion…and its 10:30

Good morning, beloved. Truth is liberation. Today is a great day to overcome evil with good.

A mass in front of Block 11 of the former Auschwitz I camp held on 2 November, the day of Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed. Priests from local parishes gathered at the Memorial to offer prayers for all the victims of the German Nazi concentration and extermination camp Auschwitz.

We have progressed from data collection to data analysis.

BOSTON (AP) — Judges order the federal government to use contingency funds for SNAP food aid payments during the shutdown.

this graphic is everything. this is why people overestimate the prevalence of violent crime and terrorism and support punitive police measures. they are quite literally distorting reality in order to keep you scared of the wrong things.

What we're seeing with the SNAP funding issue is that when we are unorganized then we pose no political challenge or threat. The politicians aren't scared of unorganized people.

I ❤️ SNAP. I have been on SNAP. It kept me from going hungry many times when I had mental health crises. SNAP saves lives. SNAP helps kids. Let people eat. Don't be a whitewashed tomb about it.

A good list for people in NYC to share about how people impacted by SNAP cuts might access some food: open.substack.com/pub/eboyle/p...

7 years ago today, 11 beloved Jewish people were murdered at a synagogue in Pittsburgh. May their memories be a blessing. May we keep fighting antisemitism — like all oppressions — in solidarity with our neighbors. Together we can build a country where all are safe and free.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP. Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP. The people who need help are not the problem. It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families? Now you know.

The government shutdown has put SNAP benefits at risk for millions of Americans. Travis Peters, an urban farmer in Detroit, is giving out free produce tomorrow 'If it's getting tight, my food is free. Don’t even sweat that'

Good morning, beloved. Never use your thoughts & prayers as substitutes for your commitment & action. Today is a great day to overcome evil with good.

A few lines from my poem, “I Wear My Father’s Sweater but Not My Mother’s Apron.” Something, unfortunately, many experience in high-control, patriarchal religions. There has so much CSA among conservative Anabaptist groups for generations. It stops with me. #BlueSkyArtShow #inside #poetry #abuse

Good morning, beloved. You lose the muscles you do not use. Choose love regularly & intentionally. Today is a great day to overcome evil with good.

In “Demons,” Fyodor Dostoevsky portrays the adherents of Marxist atheism and the adherents of (Russian) Christian nationalism as both under the sway of demonic isms.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents. I did it because the government isn’t. This is what I found.

It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring. Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

A mom in Houston reported her 15-year-old son with autism missing. She spent 6 days terrified, searching for him. The whole time, Houston police knew exactly where he was since they helped ICE place him in a refugee facility. This is beyond cruel. www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston...
