The day after being back from spending time with family over the holidays is the most tired day of the year. This is neither positive nor negative. It is just a fact.

And in despair I bowed my head:
"There is no peace on earth," I said,
"For hate is strong, and mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good will to men."

Saw Alm out in the community with his family multiple times…they really embraced their sports home, and it made me an even bigger fan of his to see him enjoying not just the pitch, but the area. Best of luck to him and the family!
Not surprisingly, a classy goodbye from Rasmus Alm on Instagram: St. Louis… thank you for giving me and my family a place that truly felt like home. Wearing this badge, playing in front of you fans, and sharing the field with my brothers are memories I’ll carry with me forever. ... 1/3

Even BILL CLINTON is saying he doesn’t care if the full release of the files implicates Bill Clinton. Amazing.
Bill Clinton releasing a statement saying 'release the Epstein files, you cowards' was not on my bingo list.

People must grasp the idea of “media capture.”
It’s when authoritarian regimes and/or their powerful allies take control of media to stifle independent voices holding the government to account.
It’s one way Hungary’s Viktor Orbán keeps power.
In the U.S., it’s what the Ellisons have done with CBS.

Reading today’s news - especially news from our fed govt - requires a lot more of the reader than just a headline skim or clip.
Which most folks don’t have time (or interest!) to do.
Media literacy is something we are seriously lacking in this country.

The Trump regime often claims that its words are "taken out of context." But if the news media included more context – such as reminding the public that these people have long histories of lying – their reports would be even more damning.

Here's Rep. Ann Wagner (R-Mo.) raging about Missouri's elections being "decided in California" in response to an article about Missourians protesting a gerrymandering petition in California -- except the article is about the town of California in Missouri.

i think to understand the meaning of the birthright citizenship clause to the framers of the 14th amendment, you have to understand significance of dred scott to the civil war republican party. dred scott wasn't just a bad ruling, it was understood as a rejection of the declaration itself.

Yeah this one really pisses me off.
This really is grotesque: they went through years-long citizenship processes and are now being denied simply because if the country they are from. It’s formalized bigotry.
