It occurs to me that not everyone knows how to get to Sugarbush, the ski resort JD Vance is visiting. It’s a great mountain, but even if you don’t ski, it’s a beautiful drive to get there, especially on a clear day like tomorrow. You can get directions here. You’re welcome!

About yesterday's economic blackout. The retail establishment I work at experienced a LARGE drop in sales yesterday. So much so, that a number employees were told to stay home today. As we are unionized, we were offered sick pay in exchange to do so. We need to keep doing these blackouts! 1x a week?

Wow: JD Vance is apparently skiing in Vermont this weekend and the locals aren’t having it. Thousands have lined the streets in protest.

In the ‘Trump Gaza’ AI video posted to Truth Social the president shares his disgusting vision. Apparently after expelling Palestinians he wants to turn Gaza into a resort where he can party with Elon Musk and Netanyahu and be worshipped like a god.

These men aren't planning for peace. They are planning a heist. As bombs continue to fall on Kyiv, US collaborates with the invader, behind the backs of the invaded, to cut a deal to split the spoils of Ukraine's natural wealth. As distasteful a picture as you'll see on the international stage.

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

Two lawyers, one Yale educated, one Harvard educated; one the VP, one a senator, suggesting that decisions made by courts aren’t legitimate if they don’t like the outcome. This is dangerous territory.

If you are pro-life, I recommend calling Congress to voice concern. Yesterday’s NIH funding cuts are likely to halt research on: - New cancer drugs - Heart attack/stroke treatment & prevention - Interventions to help premature babies survive - Mental health treatment - Etc #MedSky #NIH #research

When I was a teacher, my students and I always took time this month to honor the generations of Black Americans who fought against injustice to achieve equal rights. May we all reflect on our past as we continue working to build a society that lives up to its democratic ideals.

DNC Chair Nominee Nate Snyder: "It is an authoritarian movement that glorifies lawlessness, embraces conspiracy theories, and threatens the very foundation of our democracy. We have long viewed the greatest threat to our country as a threat from abroad...our greatest threat is from within." Bingo.

Donald Trump ordered a pair of 747s that will serve as the next Air Force One during his first term. They won't be ready until 2027 or 2028. He sent Elon Musk to Boeing to complain because he wants to fly around on them ASAP. Super hard at work for the people. 🙄

This is quite exciting. I lost 15pounds in my second pregnancy because I just couldn’t eat and when I did, I got full after a few bites or threw it up.

When my dad was a kid the Holocaust was happening on the other side of the world. He lost family. Growing up we could still feel his fear. He’d say it could happen in America. As kids it scared us. As teens it annoyed us. As men we told him to get over it. Today I’m calling to tell him he was right.

Justin Trudeau will step down as the Leader of the Liberal Party, but it's too late. Canada is headed for conservative fascism. While we don't have the same problems with guns, abortion, or insanely religious people in a massive cult, we do have stupid people who'd rather be angry than educated.

With all the talk about Judge Merchan’s plan to impose a sentence without jail time or fine & with an unconditional discharge on January 10, I’d urge him instead to condition Trump’s discharge on obeying the presidential oath he will take on January 20. That’s a promise we know Trump won’t keep.

I have faced fascism before, in this very country. I was one of 120,000 Japanese Americans summarily rounded up and expelled from our homes at gunpoint, all for the crime of looking like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor. I spent my childhood behind barbed wire. My parents lost everything. 1/
