It was in the low 40s with a light rain at 6:45am in Tulare County when "Rafa" sent us this pic from where he was pruning peach trees for min. wage. Peaches require skilled aggressive pruning and shaping to ensure the trees continue to produce quality fruit. #WeFeedYou

I wasn’t planning on writing anything today, but since terrorist Russia doesn’t stop for even a minute, it was important to document what happened on Christmas Day with Russia murdering more civilians in Ukraine, nuclear-capable bombers flying near Britain & airspace provocations involving Poland
Russia Escalates War on Christmas Day With Attacks on Ukraine and NATO Airspace
From drone strikes on Ukrainian homes to nuclear bombers near Britain and airspace provocations involving Poland, Moscow used Christmas Day to escalate on multiple fronts.

Russia is a terrorist state and anyone who supports this or praises Putin is reprehensible

This is what Ukrainians have to go through every single damn day

America is done with Trump but he is not done with us.

In 2026, we should expect stepped-up election subversion, further weaponization of the justice system to weaken their opposition, and the industrialization of their ethnic cleansing policies.

The Trump administration put billionaires, giant corporations and their profits first this year, while working people struggled to make ends meet.

Workers are fed up. And in 2026, America’s unions are ready to shift the fight back into overdrive.

If negotiations focused on victory over the aggressor grounded in international law, rather than “peace with Russia,” how many would participate openly, before the media?

For how long will we maintain the fiction that “peace” and Russia can coexist in a single document?

While I do think that Jews will have to do a lot of reckoning with the way institutional Judaism reoriented itself and so many Jews toward Zionism, I think right now all of our energy has to be focused on supporting Palestinians right to live, to peoplehood, to dignity, to peace with justice.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

You are so right in saying that Ukraine is what stands between Russia & the world. And yet ‘the world’ carries on merrily either with it’s head in the sand or it’s head up it’s own ****.

Very glad that Canada is standing with Ukraine and Europe against fascism and imperialism. And as we stare down our own fascist imperialist menace in Trump, as well as Putin in the Arctic, it's reassuring to know that they have our backs in return.

This TEMPORARY “shelter” was $$$ to the global community and meant to last 100 years until the “future science” (😬)could find a better solution to the ☢️ inside.

With the rise of ANTI-science, that seems pretty hopeless.

Remember when Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump’s lawyer, Alan Dershowitz, wrote an op-ed trying to justify having sex with kids?

Seems relevant now.
