Look….. I know I’m an adult so it’s different…… but I feel like this year’s Christmas is the least Christmas-y I’ve ever experienced.
Personally, because of all of the horror we’ve had this year. But also commercially, I feel like even companies are phoning it in or not even acknowledging it.

Do not let them compare Rob Reiner to Charlie Kirk. Rob Reiner was a truly good person. Charlie Kirk was a piece of shit. These are not the same.

As the Trump administration clumsily moves toward an unnecessary and irresponsible and narcissistic war with Venezuela, I want to take a brief moment to offer this sentiment to those who voted for him over VP Harris because they believed it would keep us out of unnecessary wars:
FUCK. YOU.
FUCK. YOU.

You probably saw videos of a nighttime raid in Chicago. Agents rappelling from a helicopter, bursting down doors, questioning brown-skinned immigrants.
We investigated -- and found little evidence to support the government’s claims about Tren de Aragua.

Do yourself a favor and take a minute to watch this animated short about 9yo Ronald McNair visiting his home town’s segregated library. It was produced by Story Corps and narrated by McNair's older brother Carl.
Near the end, Carl talks about the impact that "Star Trek" had on his brother. 🧪 🔭

These are right-wing terror events I covered just from 2017 to 2023. It's not even close to comprehensive. The government's trying to erase this history.

Does anyone else remember a couple of months ago when a Republican terrorist shot four people killing two of them in an effort to give control of the Minnesota legislature to Republicans?

The rich are the biggest winners in Donald Trump’s bill. It will be the biggest giveaway to the wealthy in our country’s history if it passes. The richest Americans should be paying more, not less, in taxes.

MEDICAID FACTS:
Your doctor takes Medicaid patients, so your doctor might close.
Your hospital sees Medicaid patients, so it might close.
Nursing home patients will have to go back to their families.
It’s not just the millions of people on the Medicaid that are in danger.
IT’S ALL OF US!

My daughter’s speech therapist went out of business because Medicaid reimbursement rates were too low. We do not have Medicaid. I’m going to keep posting this until people understand that when Medicaid gets cut *everyone* loses services.

Today— May 10 —marks the anniversary of the destruction of the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft, a pioneering clinic and library of human sexuality. Nazis looted and publicly burned its research, records and artifacts to bury evidence of trans/queer existence.
The parallels today are unmistakable.
