Innocent.

Happy holidays 🥰 🪶

I don’t trust any billionaire whose sense of morality and values depend on who is nice to them online because my sense of morality and values don’t depend on that bullshit and I’m broke as hell

Lula is *such* a good dog

Many of the remaining churches across Gaza either scaled back or cancelled Christmas activities altogether.

Carol of the Bells in # Kyiv subway. Voices of the Embassies of Germany, France, and the United Kingdom came together to perform Shchedryk in the Kyiv metro as a sign of solidarity with Ukraine. Thankful to everyone who stands with us!

Hope everyone who celebrated Wigilia tonight had a lovely night and wonderful meal. ♥️ (We all know Pierogi itself is the plural word btw, but it was a gift and I'm very happy I have a family that all got a kick out of this. Also my cousin got us custom pierogi aprons, win-win!) Merry Christmas. 🎄🥟

fuckin pope always high roading me

Spent a decent bit of time tonight during my Polish-American Christmas (which is Christmas Eve don't question it) on replies to a video covering Michiganders For Money Out Of Politics (yay!) that didn't include website or how folks could get involved (um). Anyway. Folks know now. MopUpMichigan.org

US citizens deported despite a court order You aren’t safe

I am begging. pleading, screaming at people in my former profession - the reporters at the NYT and the Post and the Economist - to treat such arguments as what they are-- bad faith, and simply wrong and even evil. You can't do the old method of "give them enough rope to hang themselves" /1

What's a polite way to say to a colleague who works for a different organization "I respect you immensely and for that reason I will give you real images I personally took that you can use for free - or help you find free fair use options - if you agree to never post AI anything ever again"?

Teamwork makes the dream work! #InvestInMIKids would fund our Michigan schools with a tax on the ultra wealthy. We're joining forces to get both on the 2026 ballot! Save the date for our joint Circulator Action Call on Sunday, January 4th. RSVP bit.ly/michiganforthemany and happy Mop-A-Days! ☃️

!! Here’s a link to full video of the 60 Minutes segment that Bari Weiss killed last minute, via @jasonparis.bsky.social: is.gd/paU8Ko (It was uploaded to the Global TV app in Canada, seemingly by accident, and has now been taken down)

You have to like and share this I do not make the "put myself in front of the camera for the cause even though I feel and definitely look absolutely tired AF" rules. Thank you. ♥️ Mariah Carey version with bonus after credits superhero challenge scene on TikTok. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8yS9yQb/

I kinda like this silly place

I like that the UP isn't forgotten. And think this means Lake Michigan is a nose? Anyway, today's favorite Michigan TikTok content that I also feel in my soul enjoy.

Hate DTE ✅ #LoveYourWork ✅ Hey folks. If you're in Michigan we need you to get sigs to get money out of politics *and* tax the rich fund our schools on the ballot. Got 5 friends? That's 5 more towards our goal! More even better of course! Send me a DM, I'll hook you up, let's get this done. TY! ♥️

Current* conditions near Manistee, MI:

@jenelaina.bsky.social BUNNY ALERT

The advocacy group founded by the late Jamal Khashoggi, Democracy for the Arab World Now (DAWN), has published a report which unveils the senior leadership of AIPAC— most of whom have not been previously disclosed.

Really seriously please take the 30 seconds and actually fill out the form.

Ypsilanti Township's newly adopted limitations on where data center can go will not apply to the University of Michigan's partnership with Los Alamos National Laboratory on a computing facility.

When Line 6B ruptured, Enbridge didn't notice anything wrong. 17 hours and a million gallons later, a utility worker sounded the alarm. Maybe we shouldn't have an oil pipeline in one of the most complex Great Lakes waterways at all. 🤔 #ShutDownLine5 @owdm.bsky.social

Read more about today's Michiganders Against Data Centers rally in Lansing: cleanwater.org/releases/no-...

Michigan is standing up and speaking out against the data center onslaught across our state, against DTE secret deals, unwanted AI nonsense, corporations buying our politicians... And for our communities and a healthy sustainable future for us all. They have the money. We have our power. ♥️💧✊

Kind of darkly funny that the government's defense of the well thought out plan for Trump's bigly beautiful ballroom looks like this storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.

whoever is writing reality lately is really getting heavy-handed with it. no subtlety at all

A million Muslims live in New York City. We belong here, as does every other New Yorker. This is vile Islamophobia from the Councilwoman and it has no place in our city.

oh my GOD

🥲

As we mourn Rob Reiner, don’t skip this: he was, pretty much, personally responsible for overturning California’s Prop 8 banning same sex marriage. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

Every single reporter there needs to hold the line on this too. Don't throw him a lifeline with another question if he dodges. Have each other's backs and demand he answer the question.

He's not just gloating. He's saying Reiner was "reportedly" murdered by a Trump supporter, which is obviously untrue, and therefore it's good and justified. Even for him, this is overtly calling for people to go murder his critics because it makes him happy. He is literally a terrorist.

#RefugeesWelcome By every measure, welcoming resettled refugees benefits their new community. 7 years average paying into the system after arriving usually with $0, high entrepreneurship, etc. Don't expect anyone to take a bullet to protect others, but not surprised he stepped up. Hero, full stop.

All I have seen is reporting about the Brown shooting and the Australia shooting. It’s ridiculous this is not being reported. #Montana #Washington #Oregon

Clipboard selfie. ♥️📋✊ You too can help fix the systematic problem of conflict of interest corporations buying out our lawmakers! Get sigs and make a better Michigan MopUpMichigan.org. Wanna tax the rich to fund our schools too? My coworkers got you we're doing both! linktr.ee/mopupmichigan

TAKE ACTION TODAY (h/t @peregrinekate.bsky.social) Proposal to “reform” the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, now administered by the CFPB, by eliminating long-standing policies designed to support fair access by women & POC.

Y'all it is actually fun getting petition signatures, no one likes the utilities spending $$$ on *our* politicians *and* I just got a take home plate from a church holiday party. Also met lots of nice folks! Sign up and let's get this done! And yep got 11 more days of holiday encouragement/cheer. 😊

Minnesota is really quietly changing the entire dynamic for these fascist foot soldiers. We can literally freeze them out and make them leave. They hate it here and they hate that we are unafraid of them or the weather.

“There was a time when organizations like ours did not exist and weren’t here to serve kids who needed help when they have been exposed to sexual and physical violence. To know that this is being cast aside is quite frustrating, to say the least."

FYI y'all show up against data centers, next Tuesday in Lansing. And why did data centers get tax breaks? Who's to say! ... Me it was because of DTE you can also sign @michiganmop.bsky.social if you haven't yet and take some sheets home to get holiday party petition sigs. ☃️ Thanks!
