Rick Steves rules. Good dude!
It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

1 year into going through this, where:
-The flood of horrible crap is by design
-The bullies' grip is weakening in places, & we're making some headway
-The level of suck is still crazy high. It's ok to acknowledge that, & take timeouts as needed
-It's vital that we hold each other up & not give up.

My brother, who died by suicide in 2007 had a severe mental illness and a substance use disorder. He tried to kill me and my parents. We never stopped loving him. Rob Reiner and Joe Biden didn't stop loving their boys either. 💔

Remember to Thank President Biden. Remember him? The President who cared about this Country and everyone in it, whether they deserved to be or not.
This came from the 2021 infrastructure bill signed by Biden. Mace voted against it.

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

I don't remember seeing any calls for violent retribution after a Minnesota state senator was assassinated, and it would have been nice not to see any today.

We can choose to be afraid and angry.
Or, we can choose to be kind and compassionate, generous and hopeful.
And, we can pray for the dead and the grieving, and fight like hell for the living.

This is a really important response to the arrest of Judge Hannah Dugan by Kash Patel's lawless FBI. Good on Representative Clancy.
MADISON, Wis. – Yesterday, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel and other publications reported that Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan apparently attempted to protect a defendant from ICE agents trying to detain that defendant. (1/6)

According to 60 Minutes research, 90% of people sent to brutal El Salvadoran prison have NO criminal record. This is deeply upsetting. They sent another plane full yesterday. Bombard the WH with calls (202) 456-7041.

Every damn day, another right-winger or an army of them explains why she made them do it; it's her fault, her being an individual woman or Democrats or.... Not sure what Ackman's getting at, but Brooks is in "they went too far in their antifascism so fascism is their fault" territory.

Members of Oregon District 2 Indivisible arranged flowers then delivered bouquets to local federal workers. BLM, Forest Service, Social Security, VA , Post Office, NPR & PBS offices got flowers on a Thursday afternoon. Flowers were locally sourced and vases were re-cycled of course. It's Oregon!

The US invasion of Iraq began on this day 22 years ago.
In the years since, the United States spent roughly $10 trillion on the so-called "war on terror."
Can you imagine if we had instead invested those funds in climate, health care, housing, and education?

The FBI is trying to criminalize Habitat for Humanity for receiving climate grants from the EPA.
Yes, the nonprofit that builds houses for low-income people.
This clearly demonstrates just how absurd and extreme the Trump regime has become.

Can’t emphasize this enough: if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the debased assault on our country, the antidote is connecting with other people in the flesh who are feeling the same way. There are millions of us.
