Frank Sinatra was a vocal anti-racist. He fought racism with his actions, his words, and his money.

Actions:
Refused to stay at segregated hotels. Made sure Black artists got paid fairly.

Words:

The Pope also cited Sudan, South Sudan, Mali, Burkina Faso and Congo
Pope Leo XIV during his first Christmas Day homily remembered the people of Gaza “exposed for weeks to rain, wind and cold” and said the world’s many conflicts can only be silenced through dialogue. Leo led the Christmas Day Mass from the central altar beneath the balustrade of St. Peter’s Basilica.

We reached out to numerous trump advisers, senior administration officials, others close to trump and in the Republican elite to grade the trump doj’s handling of the Epstein saga from July to today. All but one said F or F minus

Because that one said “F-minus-minus.”
Trumpland Grades His Epstein Cover-Up an ‘F-Minus’

‘They keep making it look like we have something to hide,’ a White House official complains to Zeteo, writes @swin24.bsky.social, @premthakker.bsky.social, and @andrewperez.bsky.social.

Brett Kavanaugh (September 2025): The facts and how they relate to the law don’t matter. Assume ICE and other federal forces always act with integrity, always respect rights, and consistently impose minimal burden.

Brett Kavanaugh (December 2025): Should I not have done that? Was that wrong?
Kavanaugh in a footnote in today's opinion says "the officers must not make interior immigration stops or arrests based on race or ethnicity."

mass murder
Trump has now conducted 28 boat strikes, killing over 100 people.

Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it.

He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.

This is a danger to us all.

when you really think about it, it is actually incredible that a worldwide pandemic is what spawned all of this.
Vaccination rates are plummeting across the country, as part of a larger, troubling trend of growing vaccine hesitancy that is fueling a resurgence of preventable diseases, an NBC News and Stanford University investigation found.

In an NBC News data investigation of 31 states, about 70% of counties and jurisdictions fell below the target vaccination rate needed for community protection.

the whole thread is worth a read:
The photos of those Haitian refugees was his first big break, as they earned him the Robert Capa Gold Medal award, which catapulted his career. But at the moment he took the images, he and the other men on the boat thought they were going to die.

He had this to say about the experience:

the 6-7 phenomenon is in no way different from any other catchphrase that kids have yelled out at any point in the last hundred years, there's no daylight between that and when i was in high school, the year straight where every guy kept yelling "i'm rick james bitch"

additional note: Trump is a known germaphobe. So he actually shakes hands less than most.
Historians have discovered there were presidents before Trump who *also* engaged in frequent hand shaking yet they didn't always have bruises and bandages on the backside of their hands.

Even Sleepy Joe Biden, who was perpetually just seconds away from dying of old age, came out unscathed. Really!
Q: Can you explain what's going on with the bandages on Trump's hand?

LEAVITT: We've given you an explanation. The president is literally constantly shaking hands.

Nick Fuentes being on Piers Morgan is objectively bad, and that includes whether he “looked bad” or not.

His entire brand is made off trolling offensively to gain the attention of others and it works enormously well.

Giving him bigger and more mainstream places to do that just helps him.
