Russia is the aggressor, they don’t deserve favorable terms. They should not be rewarded for invading a sovereign country unprovoked, committing genocide, refusing to leave, and acting like they’re the real victims. The minimum acceptable terms are complete Russian removal from Ukraine.

I’m calling it. The Vanity Fair piece is a bunch of BS. Susie Wiles did not give 11 interviews without Trump’s knowledge or direct approval. We’re being snookered, while overall the piece paints this admin as capable & determined. Give me a break.

Not sure there's a clearer way to say any security guarantees the US is offering Ukraine are toilet paper than to shutdown EUCOM while offering them.

For better or worse, public figures are judged when they die — their character, contributions, beliefs. It's undeniable that millions have mourned Rob Reiner's tragic death, celebrating his talent and contributions. I suspect when a certain public figure kicks the bucket, sentiments wont be the same

🚨While grieving his loss, let his memories and, his wisdom help us. Honoring his life has so many meanings to so many of us. May he and his wife rest in power. 💔 1/2

Because it’s not getting reported on enough:

Muslim fruit shop owner Ahmed al Ahmed, father of two, was the hero who bravely tackled one of the Bondi Beach shooters and took away his gun.

He saved lives during a major terror attack. Say his name, and honor the lives of the victims of the shooters

The hero of Bondi: Ahmed el Ahmed, a 43 year old fruit shop owner from Sutherland. He grabbed the gun off one of the terrorists shooting at Jews during a Hanukkah celebration.

Ahmed was then shot in the leg and shoulder by another terrorist. He’s being treated in the hospital and expected to be OK.

Rob Reiner showed what real courage looks like. While MAGA cosplays toughness, he made himself a target by refusing to stay silent. Too many left-leaning men stay apolitical, afraid to lose the comfort of the demographic lottery. When I die, as we did with Rob, I hope people assume MAGA got me.

Massive Layoffs at the Dept of #Education Erode Its #CivilRights Division

Only five of the agency’s civil rights offices remain nationwide. Those who are still with the department say it will now be “virtually impossible” to resolve #discrimination complaints.

I know "Die Hard" is y'all's favorite Christmas movie but there's another film that has a lot of elements of "Die Hard" PLUS a much more involved Christmas message and musings on the "invisibility" of homelessness. This Christmas, check out "Tokyo Godfathers."

1. This is how the story "Sanctuary" from Detective Comics #551-552 started.

Back then was INS. The kid showed his passport after this, but his brother is not in the same situation.

Today has been full of horrible news. Perhaps a small ray of light is that the amazing Dick Van Dyke turned 100 yesterday.

Some footage from the celebration of One Man Band, who was invited to perform for him:

Rob Reiner, for a while there, was one of the most artistically and commercially successful directors in Hollywood. He had a run of films that knocked the roof off. With STAND BY ME, he gave voice to Stephen King’s work that we hadn’t seen since CARRIE and SALEM’S LOT and rarely since.

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's son was pulled over by ICE and forced to prove he is an American.

Two options:

1) ICE deliberately targeted him.

2) ICE is stopping all non-White people without any probable cause and forcing them to prove they are citizens.

Hard to say which option is scarier.
