On this first night of Hanukkah I’m thinking about Ahmed al Ahmed, the brave Lebanese-Australian who reminds us that despite all the terrible horror—in Bondi today, in Gaza, in Ukraine, in Darfur…—that there is still decency and goodness in this world. Thank you Ahmed.

If you have lived here for any length of time this has always been the America you grew up in. It’s just now you can see the footage in real time. Ask anyone “ who fits the description “ what it’s like to grow up in America. Not trying to be confrontational but this isn’t new

We lost such a talented person and his wife today. This is unbelievable. RIP Rob & Michele Reiner. 😭🕊️😢 May his (and her) memory be a blessing 🙏🩷💐

If you’re looking for something to do, start working on overturning citizens united in your state. States control the power corporations have. Take their political power away with a ballot initiative. Here’s how: open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

Hey News Nation.. can you please stop calling the Department of Defense the Department of of war .. Congress has not approved this. It’s just Hegseth calling it this .. full STOP 🛑 THANK YOU a concerned American citizen!

I would also add that Trump has pulled lots and lots of federal agents normally tasked with investigating serious crimes off those duties to do immigration enforcement with ICE. bsky.app/profile/atru...

The Soulless Train

"Is Donald Trump a fascist? Americans who brush off that idea sometimes imagine that a real fascist regime, unlike Trump’s, would persecute ethnic minorities. But that’s exactly what Trump is doing." The latest from @saletan.bsky.social for The Bulwark.

No one should be targeted for their race, religion, nor politics. NO ONE! This gun violence is truly insane. When will enough be enough?

Donald Trump, Security Threat "Under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, a president is given considerable discretion to impose tariffs to protect industries deemed crucial to national security... The Trump administration has, however, made a mockery:" open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...

I haven't met A SINGLE liberal/Progressive/Democrat who has said that anyone in the Epstein Files who is a Democrat should be protected or immune from any crimes they committed. NOT. ONE. That's the difference...among many others.

We love to see it

I am convinced America crossed an event horizon thirteen years ago, when even the deaths of elementary school aged children at the hands of a monster weren't enough for their government to say "enough is enough". Hard not to think that Americans would rather have their guns over their children.

The US is a “new” country built up with immigrants from everywhere. With WW2, a lot more immigrants entered the country to escape fascist regimes or to escape threats of violence and war. Now where are we? In a fascist regime with threats of violence and war coming from the Putin-sponsored Felon.

Those who continue to entertain the Israeli narrative regarding Gaza must confront the historical record and acknowledge two crucial, enduring realities. First, Israel’s violence is fundamentally driven by its settler-colonial ambitions, not merely by Palestinian resistance.

Thank you as always, @aaronparnas.bsky.social, for bringing much needed attention to this 5-alarm fire against the disability community. 🙏🏽♿️✨💫 @littlelobbyists.com @juanescalante.com

A year ago I had surgery to remove an ovarian cyst. They found fibroids and endometriosis and removed those too. It changed my life. I cannot tell you how much pain I was in, all the time. It took me 16 years to get a doctor who took my pain and PCOS concerns seriously.

Candles rise after Bondi’s pain, Shots echoed hate, the world feels torn. Yet IDF lights the Hanukkah flame Guarding hope till a gentler morn. Despite the darkness, you give us light. 🕯️✡️ _ For more information and updates about Israel subscribe  at: www.timetostandupforisrael.com

So that dementia Don can find his way.

Zelenskyy is Right on Top of Putin❗️👏👏👏👏 Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 🔱

This already was their compromise. Do you think any MAGA supporter actually knows that, sincerely? Or have they all been brainwashed by the propaganda of "Obamacare"?

The purpose of the United States Constitution is to limit the power of the Federal Government, not the American People. #Truth

Why do most Republicans deny the Epstein Files? (Axios)? Because they are involved in child sex trafficking as much as in today’s human trafficking. The GOP support child sex trafficking. Their silence is loud.

Day #329 I cant believe my granddaughter may face difficulties I did to obtain credit. Why are women ok going back in time, losing rights & freedoms we fought for? Need strength? Look within. Relational wisdom does not = relying on another for all your needs & losing your voice. #proudblue #pinks

Privilege is blind because it can't stand to look at itself in the mirror.

ICE pepper-sprayed this 1-year-old girl. Once at the hospital, the doctor had to call in a poison control specialist. They had never seen anyone that young pepper sprayed. Another horrific story. More details below.

So, the person who stopped the bad guy with a gun was a good guy without a gun. It says all ou need to know about bullshit.

In memory of Rob Reiner “Stand by Me” By Ben E. King

It’s out but all I am saying is pray for the Reiner Family He was a light who brought so much to us and that was a gift to be celebrated Rob & Michele Reiner RIP

My son watched his mom in an interview/conversation with Bill O'Reilly, and just commented "he's trying to mansplain capitalism to an economist." www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yi6H...

How to make sure that I cannot visit the USA until at least 2029 in one sentence- Donald Trump is an authoritarian fascist cunt

The minute trump accuses someone of something immediately investigate trump for it. He is the one doing it. Also trump is not original, he does the same stupid things over and over. Multiple infractions.
