I’ve spent abt 2 weeks in Northern Nigeria where Boko Haram & other violent Muslim extremist groups terrorize & attack not only Christians but also Muslim families & farmers.

Has Trump ever spent time in Nigeria? Or any African nation? I fear no one in this regime is knowledgeable about anything

The Swedish choir performed Shchedryk in Stockholm — far away from where the song was written by Mykola Leontovych.

The Soviet regime assassinated the Ukrainian composer over 100 years ago, but his legacy survived and today, Shchedryk is celebrated all around the world.🇺🇦

In English we know it as “Carol of the Bells,” but the melody arises from a Ukrainian folk tradition of songs welcoming the new year and summoning the forces of nature to meet human labor and bring prosperity.
Do listen.

Another beautiful Shchedryk performance amidst ruins.

It was set in what used to be a DTEK thermal power plant — now destroyed by russia.

The contrast between russia’s destructive nature and the Ukrainian will to create beauty even in the darkest times is palpable.

The simplest explanation for why Susie Wiles was so honest about Trump to Vanity Fair: like most Republicans, she's focused on post-Trump plans.

Like the rest of us, Republicans are just waiting for him to die, so we can all move on.

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.

This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.
