Listen and Silent are spelled with the same letters. Think about it.

Dear Santa, can you please bring me one of these notebooks? I really, really, really need one... or maybe two. Thank you!
Picture of a purple notebook over a keyboard on a desk. A purple pen can be seen to the left of the notebook. To the upper left corner of the picture, a partial coffee mug. The cover of the notebook reads, "Notes from the meeting that solved nothing and ended late."

It ridiculous that many don't see a car with "disco lights" flashing by the side of the row. Either that, or they simply choose to ignore the law.
Post from the Michigan State Police showing several police vehicles totaled by the sid eof the road during different seasons of the year. Captioning reads, " Crash Responder Safety Week is a reminder that the people protecting you on the roadside need protection, too. Each of these patrol vehicles was hit while our troopers were helping other motorists. These crashes are preventable. Michigan's Mover Over law is simple: Slow down and move over when approaching any emergency or service vehicle with lights activated. Move into an open lane if you can. If you can't, slow at least 10 mph below the speed limit and pass with caution, giving responders as much space as possible."

I'll never complain about my job ever again. Wow! That was dangerous work, indeed!
Undated picture showing hundreds of men cutting blocks of ice from a frozen lake. Horse-drawn plows can also be seen lined up by the edge of a perfectly straight line of ice that has been cut off, fresh water in front of them. To the right, piled blocks of ice wait to be taken. Behind the piles of ice, four temporary buildings can be seen. Captioning reads: Before the era of refrigeration, the harvesting of ice from the frozen Great Lakes was a massive, brutal industry. Each winter, crews of ice-cutters would venture onto the thick ice of lakes like Michigan and Erie. Using horse-drawn plows and massive saws, they would score the surface into a grid and cut huge, crystal-clear blocks. Men like "Big Jim" O'Malley, a foreman from Chicago, led teams that worked in sub-zero temperatures and blinding snow squalls, their beards frozen solid with ice. The blocks were then transported to massive, insulated ice houses lining the shores, where they were packed in sawdust to last through the summer. This ice would be shipped on specially designed ice barges to cities across the Midwest, preserving food and cooling drinks. It was dangerous work; men could easily slip into the freezing water or be crushed by shifting ice. O'Malley's saying was: "We're not just cutting ice; we're harvesting winter to make summer bearable." The industry vanished with modern refrigeration, but for a century, it was a vital part of the national economy."

I don't have any words.
Screenshot of messages. The one at the top from the Daily Caller reads: "Breaking: Voters in Texas have approved a ballot question requiring citizenship to vote." Respond to that one by Greg Abbot "100 It is now in our Constitution that only US citizens can vote in Texas elections." And respond to that one, "This was already in the constitution. Thakn you for reminding us why Texas is 41st in education."

A portrait of Mark Twain. Below, one of his quotes, as follows, "When the rich rob the poor, it's called business. When the poor fights back, it's called violence."

#Autism
The real tragedy is that as autism rates increased for years, the support for individuals and their families never did. We have yet to see universal healthcare, funding, education, therapies, respite, life skills training, employment opportunities that would accommodate and help them when research says that is what gives them the best outcome in life.

"To the "ICE" brownshirts: "You think you're anonymous now. But do you REALLY believe your bosses will protect your identities, when the day comes, and the day WILL come, that they need to sell you to save their own skins?"

I will never forget.
Picture of the skyline of NYC at night, the two beams of light flowing towards the skies where the two towers of the World Trade Center used to stand. A 9 and the words 'never forget' flank the light beams. A very dimmed translucent picture of the American flag replaces the night sky in the background, behind the buildings.

Too sad that 24 years later, that sense of unity that brought of us together on that terrible morning and the days that followed seem completely lost and we're such a divided nation.

#neverforget
A picture of firefighters and soldiers on the roof of the Pentagon after the 9/11 attacks, hanging a big U.S. flag on the side of the building. Captioning reads: "When the American flag was unfurled over the Pentagon after the attack, it stood as a promise: our nation would rise, united and unbroken. As we prepare to mark the 24th anniversary of 9/11, we honor the nearly 3,000 lives lost that day and the bravery of all who answered the call. Their courage reminds us of the strength we find in one another and the enduring spirit of our nation. We will always remember. We will never forget."

So many more are going to die. We've just gone back to the 1980's and 1990's.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. repeatedly promotes AIDS denialism and says HIV doesn't cause AIDS: He says drug use and "compulsivec homosexual behavior" cause AIDS. This is false. HIV is the cause of AIDS. Claims that people with AIDS should not use AZT, but use supplements and vitamins, instead.

Picture of President JFK during his "ask what you can do for your country" famous speech. Quote has been changed to "Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do to stop my simple-minded nephew from destroying your country."

Indeed!

Thoughts and prayers without action are useless to dead children and their surviving loved ones. How many Sandy Hooks, Columbines, Oxfords and Annunciations do we need for someone in the government to do anything about it? And these children were literally thinking and praying!!! 😡

Not only they're useless to dead children, but also to their families who survived them. Or the children who are alive today but may not be tomorrow when the same happens at yet another school. How many more Sandy Hooks, Oxfords or Columbines do we need for someone to actually do something?
