There are times in our lives when we should act like water, and let the ships pass through. Then there are times, when one must be an iceberg, and force a ship to change course or sink. Today is the day to be an Iceberg.

Hungarians who lived through Viktor Orbán’s 2010 authoritarian power grab warn Americans: Act now, before it’s too late.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

There is still beauty in this world

Zelensky: "Putin wants and has always wanted to destroy Ukraine. And you should not believe in other fairy tales." "it is important that this war is painful and costly for Putin and his people. Otherwise, a couple of years and he will come to Europe. This is his sick desire."

Teachers. Firefighters. Cops. After 44 years of Reagan’s cuts to their Social Security, Joe Biden just restored their benefits. This win for working people came thanks to unions, President Biden, and bipartisan support led by former Rep. Abigail Spanberger.

When RFK Jr visited Samoa he scared people away from vaccines with misinformation. As a result measles spread through the population. Thousands were sickened - 83 mostly children died. He not a doctor. He is a danger to the health and lives of the American people.

In remembrance who gave all on a day never to be forgotten. They gave all. They so deserved better. Never forget they died for democracy at the hands of people who looked like neighbors. But they held against all odds.

MAGA vs tech bros in a nutshell

I’d recommend everyone regardless of medical risk bring a mask on your airplane journey, a disinfectant wipe to clean the seat you’re in and hand sanitizer. It’s going to be on you alone to protect your health. Warning signs are everywhere.

Shocking. Nobody (except for Finland) reacts to Russian war against the west, and they take it as a signal to continue. www.lloydslist.com/LL1151955/Ru...

CNN is worried they're losing viewers. With takes like this one, I'm surprised they have any viewers at all.

I’m sure Trump thinks it’s funny to talk about annexing Greenland But to the people of that nation, it’s a tremendous insult Prime Minister Mute Egede-forced to respond-said "Greenland belongs to the people of Greenland..We are not for sale and we will not be for sale” www.bbc.com/news/article...

I hope Santa brought everything you wanted . Here’s what I got from My family.

Spot on. Send this to your congressional representatives. He doesn’t deserve any tax breaks.

By all accounts Taylor Swift’s final tour stop in Vancouver was a huge success. It was impossible to not overhear visitors downtown talk about how impressed they were with organization, transit service, the city, and the placemaking to make the event feel even more special. Congrats to all involved.

@thebhp.bsky.social so pleased to find you here!

I’ll never forgive James Comey.

Just saw the people asking — my daughter is doing great. Thyroid cancer. But it was well contained, no signs of spread in her lymph nodes. Partial thyroid removal, but everything looks great. Again, if you work at any part of a hospital with the word “pediatric” on the wall, God bless you.

Just saw another case of an indoor cat dying of H5 after being fed raw milk and man it’s going to be really interesting to see how the raw pet food diet people fare through this. (Don’t feed your pets raw food. Don’t let your cats outside. Contact your vet ASAP if your cat develops neuro symptoms.)

🚨Speaker Johnson, it's time to step up and show some backbone. A shutdown is a threat to our national security, Veterans, and Armed Forces who are bravely serving and counting on you. DO. YOUR. JOB.

We didn’t elect a fucking South African billionaire. Republicans have been pathetic for years. Now they’ve taken it to a new level.

But can we leave after?

A New York judge who threatened to shoot Black teenagers at a party has resigned and dropped her monthslong fight to remain on the bench after a state commission recommended that she be forced to leave office.

Objectively true.
