Progressive FDR Democrat. Why America? Did you allow a lifelong criminal grifter conman insurrectionist convicted felon to regain power for another 4 years? Makes no sense. He who accuses others of rigging are likely... RIGGING

At year end, the dividing line in politics today is defined by dignity. Dignity is something that can't be taken away. It can only be surrendered voluntarily. We saw the most powerful business leaders willing to surrender dignity while everyday Americans stood tall.

🤔While we're on the subject of Elon Musk, let's not forget his business genius.
Apparently "it's increasingly hard to claim that DOGE made any sizable dent in federal spending, which was its primary goal."
"The bottom line is that government spending increased under DOGE..."
Such integrity!

DOGE did not find $2T in fraud, but that doesn’t matter, Musk allies say
Musk allies spin DOGE as having a "higher purpose" beyond federal budget cuts.

One of the few silver linings that have come from this harsh year of deportations and ICE raids is that it has clarified which people and institutions will use their voices to push back and which will choose accommodation.

A month ago the Russians claimed they completely captured the Ukrainian city of Kupyansk. President Zelensky then went to Kupyansk and filmed a selfie video to prove the Russians are full of sh*t.

I hope the Muslim man who risked his own life to save complete strangers is given some kind of formal honor in Australia. He was shot twice even though you can’t see his injuries in the video. He’s recovering in a hospital right now.

There is possibly no clearer evidence of how American society has been bent to conservatives' whims than regarding gun violence. Our country's gun laws are flatly insane, and there has been no meaningful momentum for serious reform in years.
Each semester I go in my classroom and I try to figure out what we would use to block the doors, if it would be safe to crawl out the windows, where we could hide if there was a mass shooter in campus. It’s such an indictment of this country how we have normalized these preventable tragedies.
