I shouldn't overlook this month to honor a major historian and curator, Arturo Schomburg, who helped build a collection of artifacts, documents, and photographs to explore and study Black history. #Blackbooksky #Blacksky #Booksky

Ohioans deserve answers from Jon Husted.

"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little." —FDR, 1937

This. ABOLISH ICE. CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES SHOULD NOT BE IN CAGES. IMMIGRANTS ARE ONE OF OUR GREATEST RESOURCES.

A child dying of cancer spent her final days fighting to free her wrongfully detained father from ICE custody.   This comes just weeks after a mother from Maryland was denied the right to be at her son’s side as he died from cancer.   Not one dime for this cruelty. www.cbsnews.com/amp/chicago/...

Today's COTD features Helen Keller as the 2 of Swords. I remember when Ms. Keller died in 1968. She represents feeling frustrated & blocked, unable to take action. This is temporary. Current Conditions is the 4 of Wands. There is a growing community resisting fascism.

Pray, manifest, whatever. In the end, we need to take action to change things.

Idahoans since 2015: We would like basic, statewide anti-discrimination protections for the LGBTQ+ community. State lawmakers in 2026: Here's a bill that would erase local LGBTQ+ protections for thousands of Idahoans. Contact your elected officials and ask them to oppose HB 557: buff.ly/MpSasyO

Good morning! ☕️☀️😎🎵☮️🌸💗

Seeing people like this show up in protest for the very first time, it gives me hope. #abolishice

Though southwestern Idaho was off my radar, the complaint alleges that the govt has also used this dubious legal theory—leveraging criminal arrest warrants for a few individuals into a mass immigration dragnet—in Chicago; Austin, TX; Colo Springs; & Cato, NY. (H/t David Emery of Dover, NH.)

The federal government has a plan to convert a warehouse located in Chester, NY into an ICE detention facility. But despite the frigid temperatures, New Yorkers have turned out in droves to make their voices heard: We don't want mass detention camps in our communities. ICE has no place in New York.

It isn't unusually cold on the East coast. This how winters were.

So the United States will only use empty warehouses to house people it wants to terrorize, not people it wants to shelter from the cold. We really are not a very good-natured country.

And this…

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

This morning, I listen to Marco Rubio give a lesson in fascism 101 in his attack on mass migrations. So I drew the Hermit, assoc with #9 and care, humanitarian systems, & creating a better world for us all. Below I have a portion of the speech and how it is fascist. #tarotsky #tarot

The story gets more bizarre every day. A survivor places the Musk family in the thick of the Epstein sex trafficking ring. Kimball Musk (Elon’s brother) and Jeffrey were having a romantic/emotional relationship and is also named as an abuser. #USDemocracy #Pinks open.substack.com/pub/deanblun...

ABOLISH ICE

When misogyny rears its ugly face in tarot books, I feel disappointed. I also ignore it. 2 queens in a spread mean a rivalry between 2 women? I don't think so During a mediation training, the mediator told us the key was to respect the good (or the god) in the clients. SEE comments. #tarotsky #tarot

Roughly 2 USAIDs

Sure sure let’s order the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID) to end all pandemic preparedness and biodefense work. WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?

ABOLISH ICE

"Think about it." politizoom.com/bondi-admits...

The vast majority of Republican politicians would rather be officeholders in a dictatorship than citizens in a democracy. They have chosen to be traitors.

I realize media doesn’t think it’s a big deal that Trump, Vance & Hegseth continue to give partisan political speeches to troops, evidenced by the fact that they are never asked about it nor are members of Congress, but it is one of the most dangerous things happening right now.

Trump promised to “protect American jobs.” Reality: 800,000+ layoffs this year — the worst YTD since 2020, per nonpartisan analysts. Meanwhile he’s freezing federal hiring and pushing policies that help corporations, not workers. #TrumpAffordabilityDisaster

This man sent Epstein a torture video Epstein said he loved it And Epstein said Trump was the worst person he knew

She walked away with silver for snowboarding, but I'd give her the gold for using her voice for good. Not only did my friend Chloe Kim represent us well on the snow, but she spoke up for unity, compassion, and inclusion at this year's Olympics. You’ve made us very proud, Chloe!

People💙This is the chaos that maga voted for, to traumatize children without consequences!! The Trump administration has been careless in implementing their policies! It’s a bloody nightmare, releasing these thugs on Americans! Why the cruelty 😢 #DemVoice1 #DemsUnited #ProudBlue

The Project 2025 author is using millions of dollars in USAID money for his own security detail. It is estimated that 762,000 people have *already died* as a result of Elon Musk and Russell Vought’s obscene murder of USAID, including more than 500,000 children. Vought is a mass murderer.
