Trump's social media video garners pushback from Arabs and Muslims in U.S. and Gaza
In a seemingly AI-generated video that the president posted on social media, images of destruction due to the war in Gaza are transformed into a glitzy resort called "TRUMP GAZA."

Looking back at 2024 is like watching a horror movie through the space between your fingers. But there was a lot of good if you look in the right places. Here's my round-up of non-political highs in an otherwise low year:

#UnitarianUniversalism embraces pluralism, honoring diversity in beliefs, cultures, and experiences. There are many paths to the sacred, and dialogue across differences deepens our understanding.

How do you create space for this in your life?

Rev. Julián Jamaica Soto’s “The Butterfly Effect” reminds us that small actions shape the world—a truth reflected in Dr. King’s legacy. On MLK Day, we honor his bold dream of justice, equality, and love, carried forward by collective action. Read the full poem at bit.ly/4jlWJrM. #MLK #UU

We now have a Secretary of Defense who, for the first time in history, got his job with a tie-breaking vote from the Vice President. He’s clearly unqualified for the position; even many who voted to confirm him know it.

The Russians and Chinese can’t believe their luck.

In the new Trump presidency, we have got to remain focused. We can’t panic.

No matter how many executive orders he signs or statements he issues, our goal is the same:

We must fight to create an America based on economic, social & environmental justice.

Hegseth has defended war criminals & rejected international law. He’s a prominent advocate for privatizing the VA. He was forced to step down from leading two advocacy groups after repeated allegations of financial mismanagement, sexual harassment & alcohol abuse. I’m voting NO.

To those flabbergasted & shocked by this week, please remember our country won't change until millions of apathetic people feel what you're feeling right now.

It will take TIME. Don't lose yourself in the interim. Find ways to feel safe, feel joy, love a lot.

Build a stoic calm amidst the chaos. 🕊

As someone who was on the Hill that day, I'm grateful to the officers who put their lives on the line to defend myself and my colleagues.

It's outrageous that the President would betray officers who defended our democracy by absolving violent insurrectionists of their crimes.

President Trump: You do not stand for law and order when you give a free pass to rioters who attacked the police.

In fact, you are signaling that violence is okay and attacking law enforcement is acceptable behavior.

If they were actively trying to start another pandemic, I'm not sure what they'd be doing differently.
New: Trump officials have paused all external communications at health agencies like CDC, FDA, NIH.

No health alerts and the famed MMWRs; no updates to key websites or social media posts.

And no indication how long the pause will last.

With @rachelroubein.bsky.social + Lena Sun.
Trump officials pause health agencies’ communications, citing review
The agencies are charged with making decisions that touch the lives of every American and are the source of crucial information to health-care providers.
