He and his people have decimated our ability to adequately defend this country. One well-placed strike and our country, possibly the whole world, is over in a couple of hours.

Merry Christmas BlueSky! Peace on earth and goodwill towards all. Love your neighbor as yourself. Feed the hungry, clothe the naked and maybe 2026 will be the acceptable year of the Lord. Grace.

I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

SCOOP-2: Isabela Herrera donated $2.5m to MAGA Inc. on 12/31/2024.

At the time, her father, a Venezuelan-Italian banker, was being prosecuted for bribing Puerto Rico's governor.

In July, Trump's DOJ authorized a misdemeanor plea deal, overruling career prosecutors who had pushed a harsher sentence

Another good Sliwa interview for NYC voters. I don't agree with him on policy, but I think he's a good guy and an honest broker.

Mayor Mamdani, please extend a personal invite to Curtis Sliwa to attend your inauguration, as he asks.

Art keeps me sane. This video youtu.be/uznTHSEgx4U?... was included in a brilliant photography exhibition: Ideas of Africa: www.moma.org/calendar/exh...? Check out the installation images, then watch the 2010 video. We can do this from home in 2025, and it's still free to dance. Enjoy.

Release the Epstein files
The White House has been caught.

The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.

In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

The only upside in this idiocy is that he's like a 5th grader and if this keeps him away from Putin for a bit maybe who cares. BUT, we're not even 1 year in. . . maybe too early to think distraction can get us through this . . .

The Kennedy Center is still the Kennedy Center, and will always be the Kennedy Center.

Just like the Gulf of Mexico.

Just to be clear. It’s the John F Kennedy center legally.

Just like it’s still the department of defense

I watched it for the first time after seeing this post, and agree it’s great. There’s a message in it for today.
Flipping through what I have and saw Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip sitting there. Popped on that first episode and despite my having watched it three previous times, it still hits every single moment with me.

I love this show.
I adore this cast.

We were robbed only getting one season.
