The Trump administration has placed two top security chiefs at the U.S. Agency for International Development on leave after they resisted turning over classified material in restricted areas to Elon Musk’s staffers. America, please stand with us—we are fighting to defend this country!

Comms Advice for Democratic Lawmakers You didn't ask, but I'm offering it anyway.

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

this choice of photos by the Carter Center is shadier than a Georgia peach tree in summer

I’m so tired of him as well.

Read books, watch movies, listen to music, go to concerts and plays and lift up those artists who are doing the things that make you happy, because it will help, then, make other people happy too, and fill the internet with things other than just that guy and what he’s doing

A real photo and perfect metaphor heading into 2025.

More than almost anything else, I will miss having a President who is capable of compassion, decency and empathy in times of crisis.

in a world of Donald Trumps, be a Jimmy Carter
