Donald is ready to attack Iran if they kill protestors, but it's OK to let ICE kill protestors in America.

Germany’s infamous homophobic law, Section 175, was enforced from 1871 right up to 1994 - 123 years!
The Nazis strengthened the law and used it to imprison tens of thousands of German men. After their defeat the law stayed on the books - more arrests were made in West Germany than under the Nazis 👇

New year, new to-do—done!
If you’re a U.S. citizen living abroad, it’s time to re-register to vote for the new year. I just spent 7 painless minutes on votefromabroad.org, and my registration is already on its way to my election official.
Why not start the year with your voice counted?

In Zaragoza, Spain, the sculpture La Mujer Que Nunca Hizo Nada (The Woman Who Never Did Anything) pays tribute to the often overlooked, unpaid work of women at home that keeps families & societies functioning. Xmas is one of their busiest times

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.

Christmas-market karaoke hit me with ‘Last Christmas’ today — but not the Wham! version.
Off-key, and it sounded like the singer REALLY lost someone - so it was pretty genuine.
My question: Does this mean I’m #Whammed… or just Wham-adjacent? #Whammaggedon

I feel like this holiday season, it's important to remind people of the true meaning of christmas: ghosts terrorizing rich people in the middle of the night until they agree to pay their employees more.

Moin. Good morning.
All right, everyone. Gird your loins because #Whamageddon starts today. If you heard it last week, it doesn't count. But do be more careful! May the odds always be in your favor.

Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.

Nothing like a snowy walk to the bus stop to remind you that life is beautiful—
—right up until the exact moment your bus speeds past while you are still 100 metres away.
Next bus in 10 minutes. Character development arc continues.
