Those observing Christmas are celebrating a family of asylum seekers. If there is indeed a "War on Christmas," it's being waged by those trying to make our country less safe for the poor, for the marginalized, and for refugees.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.
Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.
Do not.

Across the country, communities are fighting back against Big Tech and preventing construction of power-hungry AI data centers in their backyards.
In response, Big Tech is launching an all-out lobbying blitz. https://youtu.be/imtkNL4v2ks?si=OabmXBYpoINwEDPD

We’re told this thing about @SenatorHagerty having his eye on leaving the senate to be the next TVA CEO ($10.5 MILLION per year) is true, and TN GOP donor Lee Beaman’s (stalled) appointment is to put Bill there to privatize TVA.
And @MarshaBlackburn is neck deep in the scheme.

Evan as it gets worse and worse I have to keep reminding myself every day to NOT become anxious about the things I have no control over. To focus on the things I can do, not the negativity. To be a light, no matter how small, in the darkness. THAT'S what I CAN focus on.
