It turned out that things like morals, empathy and dignity are like trees---they take decades to grow. They can also be clear cut just like trees: when ppl are doused daily with fear, bigotry and hate. *Please credit work of artists whose work you post!

Five years ago today, Donald Trump urged his supporters to attack Congress and the Capitol over a proven lie. More than 140 police officers were injured.
Trump then pardoned the attackers.
He betrayed his oath and his country, and we won't ever forget it.

A new study suggests babies exposed to COVID in the womb may have impacts on brain development, cognition, and emotional health.
Researchers found brain changes and a higher risk of delays, with 52% at high risk by age 2 compared with 14% of children born before the pandemic.

I understand the moral argument for impeaching Trump (again), but what's the strategy for containing President JD Vance?
I can think of few things worse than Peter Thiel’s vicious intern ascending to the presidency, and likely inheriting the MAGA cult as Trump’s “avenger.”
He will do The Thing.

Today, he gave them Venezuela — home to the largest oil reserves in the world.
