“At the G7, they all wanted to have photos taken with me. To make them more popular. They were BEGGING me. Wouldn’t leave me alone. It was embarrassing. So I took pity on all of them and said yes. They're welcome!” —Donald "Nobody Knows More About Popularity Than Me" Trump

“We surrender as if to the inevitable when we turn our backs on the possible. We make the future in the present, when we show up. Don't surrender it to those who would destroy it.” ~ Rebecca Solnit

These dogs are having the time of their lives following this week's historic blizzard in the Northeast. Please enjoy. 14/10 for all

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

Listening to the Attorney General of our country sitting as a witness in an Oversight hearing screech, scream and call sitting Representatives “that woman,” and refer to a Representative who is questioning her as “she” is truly a testament to how low Trump has brought all our institutions.

"What’s important is for disabled people to understand that their situation is political, and for caregivers to understand that their situation is political, and that the same system of ableism that’s entrenched in every care policy we have is entrapping both people."

In a season shadowed by tragedy, we light Hanukkah candles as a reminder that even the smallest flame pushes back the darkness. May these nights bring comfort to those grieving, resilience to those shaken, and hope to us all. Chag Sameach.

Hard to express to those not in the weeds just how much the current state of the immigration detention system is just utter chaos.

When Trump was accused of committing fraud by lying to banks, his lawyers argued, "Everyone does things like this, so what's the big deal?" But now that he’s back in office, Trump seems to have decided that telling banks things that aren’t true while seeking loans is a very big deal after all.

I asked the one high ranking policeman I saw on 5th Ave why there were so few police. He said “We did not expect anything like this. Don’t tell anyone but I’ve only got 44 officers out here — and it’s a great crowd, great event, no incidents.”

The Irish Times has the protests as a top story. The New York Times, the "paper of record" for the country *where the protests are happening*, has you scrolling down to see a story about them.
