None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

Just a reminder that Nazi Nerd Elon Musk long has been and still remains a proponent of the Great Replacement Theory that motivated white supremacist massacres in Pittsburgh (2018), El Paso (2019) and Buffalo (2022). www.newsweek.com/great-replac...

True.

Do you think Merrick Garland is having a pleasant day? Just reading a mystery novel, going for a leisurely walk, learning the day's news from Colbert's opening monologue, solemnly chuckling "someone should have done something about these guys," then weighing which seven-figure memoir offer to take.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: He choked. The market started to tank, and suddenly, he said, “Oh, didn’t you guys already have a plan to deal with the border back in December? I love that—I’ll take that.” This is Mr. Art of the Deal.

This was posted yesterday morning before the DCA crash. Prescient.

He's not blaming DEI, he's blaming women and non white people.

Hey America, get off your ass and do it. That’s Germany. That’s how it’s done. Now it’s your turn. Get off social media, stop complaining and GET IT DONE !!

First they came for the immigrants, and I spoke out, because I’ve read the damn poem before and I know how it ends.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget INSURRECTIONIST TRUMP!

Where the hell was this before the election

This is the correct response.

Perfect.

One thing about me is that I will fight Nazis until I’m six feet in the ground.

We are about to enter an era of extreme and dangerous culture war in the United States. How do we protect our communities and work toward a cultural ceasefire? In this piece I wrote a couple months ago, I offer one possible path. wapo.st/40q1BDn

Happy Winter Solstice! These photos were taken with a pinhole camera I made from a beer can and left out from Summer to Winter Solstice - a 6 month exposure. Bottom line = Winter Solstice. Top line = Summer Solstice. The lines are the Sun moving across the sky w/some reflections. No line = clouds

The Saudi govt led the way murdering a journalist who would reveal their crimes and evil. Israel realised they could murder journalists en masse without any pushback. Other govts have realised no govt in the west cares.

"Best Western, Bama Budweiser and Burger King are among the more than 500 businesses to lease incarcerated workers from one of the most violent, overcrowded and unruly prison systems in the U.S. in the past five years alone" apnews.com/article/pris...

On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of Obama normalizing relations with Cuba, we have an investigation into how that all unraveled. Also a funny bit in there: Trump's incoming director of OPM partied in Havana thanks to Obama's opening up

Last time I checked, no one voted for a President Musk. A multibillionaire's stranglehold over Donald Trump and the entire GOP should infuriate all of us. Millions of people voted to bring down the cost of eggs—not for an oligarch to try shutting down our government.

This goes one of two ways: our democracy sinks beneath the ocean permanently (80%) or the backlash against billionaires is shocking in its size, scope and fury (20%) The latter would take people realizing that a very small group of people are destroying Earth, but it's not as fun as owning the libs

Be aware

Just thought of this and it is happening
