After all the slip and fall videos the past two days, I'm thinking even they want to abolish ice.

In English we know it as “Carol of the Bells,” but the melody arises from a Ukrainian folk tradition of songs welcoming the new year and summoning the forces of nature to meet human labor and bring prosperity.
Do listen.
I wrote about the history here: snyder.substack.com/p/o-generous...

A man in a red hat holds a paper that reads, “Health Care premium increase” with a red arrow going sharply up. He says to a woman, “Owning the libs is getting really expensive.”

wtf is a FIFA peace prize? that's like being an NFL laureate in physics

Political cartoon; One person says, “I’m worried when Trump naps in cabinet meetings.” The other replies, “I’m worried when he wakes up.”

It’s not that complicated, people.

Oh 🇨🇦 !

Just putting a pin in this one because it’s going to come up later.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

Political cartoon. Trump and an elephant in a suit stand holding smoking guns above a man labeled “Govt” who lays face-down on the ground. A donkey watches on in horror as Trump says “now look what you made us do.”

My husband was detained by ICE today

Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away

Hey JD Vance.👋 You need to understand something. Physicians are never going to refuse emergency care to someone in an Emergency Department. No matter what you say behind that big boy podium.

We’re not like you.

We wake up every day to help people.

Well said.

YouTube video by Cathy Fink Marcy Marxer IT AINT GONNA GO AWAY - ODE TO THE EPSTEIN FILES

OMG. The folk duo we used to take our little kids to hear decades ago is now singing about the Epstein Files.

ATTN: If you’re one of the 1,000 FBI agents who reviewed the Epstein files, feel free to reach out to me via signal (in my bio). I’ll keep you anonymous- as I have the thousands of current and former federal workers who have sent me tips. Please share this widely. 🙏🏻

What CBS' disgraceful termination of Stephen Colbert illustrates is how quickly a Republic can fall when the media chooses cowardice instead of courage.

Some personal news: the Department of Homeland Security has given me, an immigration lawyer born in Newton, Massachusetts, seven days to leave the U.S. Does anyone know if you can get Italian citizenship through great-grandparents?

Massive crowd at Boston’s city hall plaza for the #HandsOff protest against Trump and Musk

Or…

This reminder about the role of the federal courts seems necessary given the opening line in defendants’ pending motion, expressing “the need to curtail ongoing improper encroachments of President Trump’s Executive Power playing out around the country.” Defs.’ Mot. at 1.
