Immigrant day laborers organized a massive mutual aid effort to help Los Angeles wildfire victims. Their mantra is: Sólo el pueblo salva al pueblo - only the community saves the community🥰 Tell your senators to vote no on the Laken Riley Act as it will endanger these heroes.

Thank you, Oregon! 🙏🏽 The viral claim that 60 fire engines from Oregon were turned away in California over emissions is FALSE. Three hundred Oregon firefighters volunteered to come and have arrived in Southern California. They’re already fighting fires in Los Angeles. 🧵

Yep I did.

⚡️'Ukrainians can help Americans protect lives' — Zelensky says Kyiv ready to send firefighters to California. "The situation there is extremely challenging, and Ukrainians can help Americans protect lives. This matter is being worked out... We already have 150 firefighters prepared."

Who else is really looking forward to not watching the Inauguration? 👀 👎

Do me a kindness! Share this if you love and support your local library & librarians (and remember: that includes your school library & school librarian) 😊📚 Thank you libraries & library workers… for everything ✨💚

To be kind is to believe in others when they forget to believe in themselves. Every act of kindness plants a seed of courage for someone else. 🧡🧡🧡 #kindness #KindnessMatters

✨ On Jan 1st, Ukraine ended Russian gas transit, breaking Moscow's energy grip on Europe. Gas replaced by 🇳🇴🇺🇸🇶🇦 supplies, shielding Europe from Kremlin blackmail & hitting Russia's fragile economy hard. 💥 A 50-year Soviet project destroyed in 3 years by Putin. 🚀 #Gazprom #MakeRussiaSmallAgain

Today I proudly took the oath of office to represent the remarkable people of Maryland’s 8th district. As the new Ranking Member on the House Judiciary Committee, I will defend constitutional democracy and freedom and champion the common good. Thank you for this high honor.

Everything stated in this post is a provable fact. You are entitled to your own opinion. You are not entitled to your own facts. Looking at YOU, 2020 election-deniers.

I think that “sport” hunting, is murder.

Totally agree. Thoughts?

Trump is an insurrectionist who has no legal right to be president, his administration is illegal; even if it wasn't he is a fascist that must be stopped. Democracy is a negotiation and if that negotiation leads to the collapse of democracy, stripping of human rights, then negotiations have failed.

The sad reality is, the overwhelming majority of Americans don't know there's a voter for the Speaker going on, don't care & won't be able to name him after the vote. This is what happens in a country where civics education is no longer universal. Its absence lets darkness settle in over democracy.

Each time I have sat down to write something since the election, I am bothered by this recurring phrase that I simply cannot get out of my head. So, I am going to just say it out loud: we are on our own. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/we-a...

🎉 Happy New Year from #Ukraine! In 2024, Russia’s war returned home—missiles, drones, and #Kursk operation. The ruble’s crashing, #Syria’s lost, and North Korea couldn’t save them. 2025? The #Kremlin’s end. 🚀🇺🇦 #NewYear2025 #MakeRussiaSmallAgain

Slava Ukraini🇺🇦

President Volodymyr Zelensky said that Ukraine has a chance to contribute to restoring stability in Syria following years of Russian interference, emphasizing that this effort will also bolster Ukraine’s own pursuit of peace.

When Jimmy Carter lost the 1980 election, he didn't lounge about in a cheesy members-only nightclub lying and whining about how the election was stolen, he set about helping people by reducing illness and increasing peace in other countries. Unlike Donald Trump, he wasn't a malignant narcissist.

During the 1976 presidential campaign, Jimmy Carter, a devout Baptist, spoke out in support of the Equality Act which sought to amend the 1964 Civil Rights Act to ban discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation #ThankYouJimmyCarter www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-...

Jimmy's here in Heaven, and let me tell you, it's rare to meet someone who got the 'love thy neighbor' part so right.

Welcome to Heaven, Jimmy Carter.

GOOD MORNING SKIES OF BLUE 🙏 Drinking this cup of morning coffee and thinking how can I honor this great man... I Pledge to try to be a Jimmy Carter.. Humanity matters Kindness matters Truth matters But most of all... How you TREAT PEOPLE ULTIMATELY TELLS ALL INTEGRITY IS EVERYTHING

RIP President Jimmy Carter

Every airline should cancel routes into Russia after they shot down an airliner, then tried to make it crash in the water to cover it up

Tulsi Gabbard should never be allowed to serve in any role within our national security apparatus ever. Agreed? Send your letters to Senators via the link below right now! Help us get to our next goal of 75,000 total!

If I were to offer you one piece of advice for 2025 and beyond, it would be this . . . Spend the coming months hyper simplifying your life. Get from under and avoid crushing debt. Look at combining households to share the expenses and the workload. Prepare now to weather the coming storm.

In the richest country on earth, millions of Americans work for starvation wages. Many states have done the right thing and raised their minimum wage. Now Congress must act. No U.S. worker should live in poverty. I will reintroduce a bill to raise the minimum wage to $17 an hour.

In 1964-65 humans created Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps, and Head Start. If you want to 'make America great again,' maybe revisit the era when you actually acted like you cared.

⚡️ Biden directs Pentagon to 'continue its surge' of weapons deliveries to Ukraine after Russia's Christmas attack. “The Ukrainian people deserve to live in peace and safety,” U.S. President Joe Biden said.

Tensing about uncertain futures robs us of freedom. Instead, be present and accepting, and experience true freedom.

When people say 'run government like a business,' they mean cut services, raise prices, and pay the CEO 400 times more than the workers.

Check out American violinist Lindsey Stirling performing Carol of the Bells, which is based on the Ukrainian New Year's song "Shchedryk." youtu.be/EKkzbbLYPuI?...

Amazing!

I love the flying effect.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: The message I’m hearing from people across Canada is this: they’re not afraid of you. They know you’re a convicted felon. They know that the people you’re bringing in to run your, let’s call it an “organization” rather than a government, are grifters, thieves, and thugs.

No, thanks.
