Arab resident deported back to Gaza, leaving family behind, after over a decade in Israel https://www.timesofisrael.com/arab-resident-deported-back-to-gaza-leaving-family-behind-after-over-a-decade-in-israel/

We should compare Social Security, which has never missed a payment since its inception, to Tesla's stock price.

i'm just saying it's worth asking if theres a link between the growth in childhood vaccination rates and the increasing number of adults in this country

What if he didn’t even have concepts of a plan?

#Chinese government has forcibly separated 1 million Tibetan children from their families and culture & placed them in colonial boarding schools! @melaniejoly.bsky.social raise #TibetsStolenChildren at #G7Summit #StandUpForTibet tibetnetwork.org/g7jointletter/

If Musk can misread Social Security data and claim millions of dead people are getting benefits, what other data are they misreading and making false claims about? abcnews.go.com/Politics/mus...

Instead of FAFO. Better message to Trump voters: You don't have to admit that you were wrong. Just admit that you were lied to.

Do these dumbfucks realize there is now officially a deep state and they elected it?

Collins: Is there a tangible concession in your view? Davidson: Yeah, absolutely. It’s a commitment from Trudeau to help with fentanyl Collins: He announced that plan six weeks ago. Davidson: Well, at least he's reiterated it

I ran @USAID health programs for the last 3 years. Trump’s 90 day Stop Work Order on foreign assistance does serious damage to the world and the US. Examples:🧵

If making America great again requires you to pay more for everything, lose your retirement savings, work more for less pay, be unable to afford health insurance, become an indentured servant to the oligarchs, maybe you were better off with the no so great version.

For the visual learners...

Listen to Brooke on this. Causing economic crisis creates bargains for Trump and Musk autocratic partners

The constituency for the destruction Trump creates are the ppl responsible for putting him in the WH: 1. Putin: trying to take down the US for decades, in revenge for what he sees as our destruction of the USSR. 2. Disaster capitalists: crisis means broligarchs, KSA & UAE can buy US assets cheap.

I've already heard the Asperger Syndrome excuse. I've taught children with Asperger for over 25 years, and oddly, I've never had to say "Hey stop giving the Nazi salute!"

Journalistic norms make it difficult to resist standards & views set by powerful institutions. So until such time as Musk/Trump say it was a Nazi salute, then it cannot *be* one. It's the same culture that makes smart reporters bow to China & call the country of #Taiwan a "place" or "an island".

Here are 88 reasons Musk didn't give a real Nazi salute - NYTimes

I found this tweet, and I can't believe it's 7 years old. It's still as true as ever. It's perfectly describing my frustration with the Democrats. The DNC needs an overhaul. The legacy leaders need to promote from within and step aside. Shit's broke and "not being Trump" obviously isn't enough.

Imagine spending unpaid vacation days and thousands of dollars going to the Capitol only to watch it from your hotel room, and then getting home and not having enough money to buy eggs.

I love how embracing segregationism is cool now that it's been rebranded as anti-wokeness

Jeffries: Two months ago the American people elected Donald Trump as the 47th president  Republicans: *cheer* Jeffries: Thank you for that very generous applause. It's ok. There are no election deniers on our side of the aisle.

Chief Justice Roberts’s year-end report, briefly summarized by Calvin

“Finland’s success isn’t a matter of luck or the outcome of quick fixes. It’s the result of a sustained, well-resourced national strategy, driven by a ‘Housing First’ approach, providing people experiencing homelessness with immediate permanent housing.” oecdecoscope.blog/2021/12/13/f...

Remember the right-wing plot to sabotage Jimmy Carter’s re-election by urging Iran to hold American hostages longer? You don’t? It’s a shocking example of the American right’s treachery that more people should know about. (Gift link to 2023 NYT story.)

Can plants talk and think? Some scientists say yes.

Listening to a X live show hosted by racists. It is wild. Besides hating everyone else they also hate other racists.

Elon has removed her subscribers, the blue badge, and has now suspended the account of Loomer. I seem to remember entire “Twitter Files” hearings about how it’s bad when the government stifles speech. How will Elon reconcile his control of social media when HE is the government?

Indians are the new scapegoats for racist Canadians and Americans.

MAGAs using ableist language to target immigrants. Racism and ableism are interconnected systems of oppression that not only marginalize people of color with disabilities but also pathologize race to perpetuate discrimination and justify barriers through the concept of disability.

These MAGAs love to use the R word.

Well done RollingStone for reporting it accurately.

✌️

I read Elon removed Laura Loomer's verified checkmark from Twitter because she was accusing him of buying his way into MAGA and overstaying his welcome. Please, terrible people, destroy each other for our amusement.

Fortune 500 CEOs gave Trump $225 mik for his inauguration—a grotesque display of corporate bootlicking. That money could’ve gone to workers as raises. Instead, they funded a party for a guy who turned sedition into a brand. It’s not just wrong—it’s a slap in the face to hardworking Americans.

Merry Christmas to all
