Truthfully, this is good practice for y'all.

People need to get in the mindset that important stuff is gonna disappear. So, what are we gonna do about it?

Stand up. There are always clever ways. Find them. And, do your bit.
Cool how we are smuggling domestic news in over the border from canada and people having to share it on bulletproof hosting providers to stop the government and media owners taking it down

You know that Republicans are treating their own like this; what do you think it’s like for the Democrats who sit in those seats? Believe me, they’ve been threatened for decades.

Remember the abortion assassinations?
1000s of threats behind every act of murder.

Bonta: The Ninth Circuit refused to stay the order. And so, for the first time in six months, we have no National Guard deployed on the streets of California.

Popok: Have they been taken off the streets?

Bonta: They have. It was required as of, I believe, Monday.

Reindeer / caribou can't fly, but they can swim!

During their migrations, it's not uncommon for them to cross large expanses (~35 mi) of sea-ice & swim up to 1.5 miles (2.5 km) in frigid water to cross rivers, inlets and go from island to island.

Let's talk about their special winter coats!

Goldman: This guy is so clearly trying to follow the Putin model—using the government to make money, making sure his allies control the most important companies in the country, including our media companies, doling out money by deregulating their industries, and taking money from them in return…

Trump’s mental decline is getting worse. Can he be trusted to handle the nuclear codes?

Trump is obsessed with the term "groceries," but does he even know what they are?

Happy Winter Solstice. The light is coming!

This is the Holly King who is now at the peak of his powers. Fortunately his ascension is complete so we can look forward to the emergence of the Oak King and moving into the light.

Putin’s special envoy Kirill Dmitriev reportedly met with Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff at a Miami golf club. Quiet setting, shady talks, classic villain meetup vibes.

Trump obviously had the Epstein files redacted. They didn't even hide it. So im much more interested in hearing testimony from the victims. Bring them in to a grand jury - then release the testimony. This is national security. We can't let pervert Don alter reality to his liking.

Massive globular cluster in Centaurus (diameter 150 light-yrs; 10 million stars). Have often wondered (since childhood) what it would be like to live in the centre of that mass; intense light with no darkness. #BucketList

Putin could never accomplish this on his own.

Thanks, Republicans.

Another American industry crippled by Republican policies.

How many jobs will this destroy?
Jim Beam Whiskey will shut its distillery for 2026 thanks to plummeting sales amid retaliatory tariffs from the European Union after Trump's tariffs and a bourbon boycott from Canada.

Political Religion:
Fascism functions like a religion by demanding faith, offering meaning, creating heroes (leaders), enemies (scapegoats), and a promised future, replacing traditional deities with the State or Nation as the ultimate authority.
