On occasion, the world must confront itself - answer what we are with who we are.

RFK (NOT JR):
We must admit the vanity of our false distinctions among men and learn to find our own advancement in the search for the advancement of all. We must admit in ourselves that our own children's future cannot be built on the misfortunes of others.

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people.

Be strong, be brave, be fearless.
You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy.

We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

This is beyond f*cked up.
Federal health workers are expressing fear and alarm after a website called “DEI Watch List” published the photos, names and public information of a number of workers across health agencies, describing them at one point as “targets.” The website lists mostly Black employees.

History was full of the bones of good men who'd followed bad orders in the hope that they could soften the blow. Oh, yes, there were worse things they could do, but most of them began right where they started following bad orders.

Workplace raids have begun—none of these people were rapists or criminals.

Even if you’re not a US citizen, you still have due process in this country. 3 workers in Newark were taken into custody by ICE w/out a warrant. One, a veteran, endured the humiliation of having his military docs questioned.

Know your rights!
I’m telling everyone: Do not open the door or say a word unless you’re expecting someone and know exactly who it is.

Know your rights. Pass these around…

Rest in Power, #CecileRichards. Thank you for championing reproductive health care for so many women (and men). You did your mother proud.

Fair winds and following seas, Mr. President. Thank you for your lifetime of service.

Army Navy still reminds the rest of us that for every difference that seems to define us, unity remains an awfully beautiful thing to behold.

This has never been just any other game.

In Iceland, on Christmas Eve, people give each other books so they can spend the evening drinking cocoa & reading. It’s called, Jolabokaflod, the Christmas book flood. I’ve never been more in love with Iceland than I am right now ♥️♥️

FACT: The United States is the only developed country in the world without universal health coverage for all of its citizens - and that's absolutely shameful, especially for the most wealthy nation on the planet.

I don't know who needs to know this, but Pro Publica has an online thing that will format a letter to your US health insurance company to demand the records behind a claim denial. (which the insurance is then legally required to provide in most cases)

Listening to Wee Free Men by the great Terry Pratchett, I was struck by the quote:

“Nothing’s louder than the end of a song that’s always been there.”

What an apt metaphor for what we see happening to today. Sad that most won’t notice till it’s too late. #booksky 💙📚

Isn’t it funny how the media suddenly stopped talking about high food and gas prices; soaring crime in the suburbs; the migrant invasion; and immigrants eating dogs and cats?
