Kayleigh: My mom went to see Melania. She said the theater was packed, it was standing room only. People were cheering through it, they were excited. It was interactive—people interplaying with the film. She said it was just electric.

I’ll add right up front that nobody sane now thinks the answer to abuses at Dachau was to give the guards more training. — @andreapitzer.bsky.social

The correct response to Dachau was not better training for the guards.

Americans in Minnesota and across the US are coming out in the bitter cold to protest the inhumane treatment and murder of their fellow human beings.
Meanwhile, where are all the Trump rallies? Guessing he can't pay his "supporters" enough to stand in sub-freezing temps to hear him blather on.

I was reading an article about the cancellation of food aid to Minnesota, and it reminded me of a story about my dad. He was a vet, an organizer and very deeply involved in his church. And one day he stood up and asked a question: “what the f*ck’s the point of having a church?”

At year end, the dividing line in politics today is defined by dignity. Dignity is something that can't be taken away. It can only be surrendered voluntarily. We saw the most powerful business leaders willing to surrender dignity while everyday Americans stood tall.

I'm not Jewish, and I'm placing a menorah in my window this Chanukah, as I have for several years now. I invite you to do the same.
Part of the Chanukah tradition is to place the light menorah either outside or in a window where outsiders can see it. This is supposed to advertise the miracle of Chanukah. These days, it is also a way of saying, “This is a Jewish home.”
Every year I think about how it is also an act of bravery.

Imagine how incredibly brain addled he has to be - he can't stay awake for dump trucks full of the fawning praise he's yearned for all his life.
Yesterday the President fell asleep, yet again, during a televised fake Cabinet meeting staged so that each of his courtiers could heap praise on him, praise for which he couldn't stay conscious. He woke up just long enough to spew racism. Why is this not being treated as an emergency? >

Yeah, me neither.

Beginning Monday, a Frozen Peppermint Hot Chocolate drink will be available exclusively at Starbucks cafés inside Target stores.
The chains are hoping the drink can drum up excitement from customers this holiday season.
