We just want to say, it’s ok to feel sad during the holidays. It’s not selfish, it’s not weakness. It’s grief. It’s ok to grieve. Especially now.
And we’re sending a special hug to all of you who are facing the people who should have loved you best, but chose to hurt you instead. We see you. 💚

It all started in 1955 with a misprint in a Colorado newspaper and a call to Col. Harry Shoup's secret military hotline. Shoup played along with the tiny voice who called, and a tradition was born. From the NPR archives.

Mass deportations don’t protect working people—they weaken labor standards, silence organizing and empower bad employers.

Trump did not strengthen the arts or the Kennedy Center. He repeatedly sought to eliminate federal arts funding, politicized the Kennedy Center Honors, and fostered an environment that chilled artistic expression. Claims that he “saved” or rebuilt the Kennedy Center are demonstrably false.

🏔️ Mountains are the world’s water towers with nearly 2 billion people relying on glacier melt for drinking water, irrigation & energy.
But glaciers are disappearing fast, threatening agrifood systems & cultural heritage.
