This is a winter scene with a woman in a bright yellow jacket standing next to the Grinch stealing the lights off the house. The sky is clear and bright blue.

Snow, the Grinch and clear blue skies.

And think
The republicans have managed to do this to us, to the world, in les than a year.

Every real economist in America warned at the time he was imposing tariffs that it would affect each of these things, and deportations have affected the ability of farmers to access labor. This is all happening because of one man.

We're half a decade into studies finding that improving airflow in classrooms will reduce disease transmission enormously, and that bleaching surfaces etc. does very little. And yet nothing changes. Waves of flu and colds wash over schools, and the schools pretend it's an act of God.

We Can't Change These Hateful People, America. We Have to Outnumber Them. There’s an old saying: “When the horse is dead… dismount.”

It’s time to stop saying that we need to understand these people. We do understand them.

We understand that they have dug in their heels so deeply, they will not be moved by anything: not facts or data or truth or their own eyes.

Torture Techniques from CIA Black Sites Were Used at Alligator Alcatraz Amnesty International, interviewing migrant detainees, identifies use of the confinement box. There can be no denying it is a torture prison

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

The American people deserve to feel protected by their president. Not attacked by him.

I said to a friend this week Covid is airborne, they said I know but I have been vaccinated. I told her that it does reduce risk of severity but ANY infection carries post infection risks lasting years and that risk is cumulative. I also pointed out medical guidance in the UK still hasn’t been 🧵

How The Koch Network Hijacked The War On Covid - EXPOSEDbyCMD As Omicron surges, a shadowy institute filled with fringe doctors appears to be part of big business’ two-year strategy to legitimize attacks on pandemic interventions.

Caerphilly school shuts as 'flu-like' illness hits 250 pupils and staff The school says it will shut for a short "firebreak" period to allow a deep clean.

So.

Those are your choices.

Take measures to stop disease.

Or watch it stop you.

We shouldn’t have to debate who “deserves” food, healthcare and housing.

We should be angry that these things aren’t guaranteed to everyone.

We should be outraged that the wealthy & corporations continue to profit off the misery and suffering of others.

Looks like it should be the flag for a Caribbean country.

“Simply calling them terrorists does not make them so. It does not unlock some hidden lethal power.” Retired Army Lt. Col. Daniel Maurer, a former Judge Advocate General, on legal questions surrounding the September 2 strike on an alleged drug boat during which a second strike killed two survivors

Reddit post from Inside-Specialist-55 in r/povertyfinance: "I have always went here when things were bad. This year our family could not afford anything nice for christmas dinner so we turned to a local church food bank. I have never seen the line this long at this food bank, This is 4x the size of every previous year. We have only been to this one 4 times since 2017 but this year the line wraps around the building a second time to the left behind those rows of cars. Everyone is freezing and an older lady in line had to be taken inside because she looked like she was about to pass out from being too cold and shivering. If this is a sign that America isnt doing well IDK what is. I am in a small town in Kentucky with a population of less than 4,800 people. Literally 10% or more of the county residents are here. This is insane."

Full “Cold Moon” moon tonight. Also called the “Long Night Moon” by the Mohican people

A picture of the view out my kitchen window this evening. There is a snowy field in the foreground, trees and a river are middle ground and on to the horizon. The moon is just rising and reflects in the river. The picture looks black and white except for the moon and her reflection are golden.

Out my kitchen window this evening.

'Happy Holidays' isn't an Insult to Jesus, But Christians Who Weaponize Christmas are. American Evangelicals’ annual campaign against the supposed “War on Christmas” began early this year, with the White House promising the apparently perpetually oppressed faithful that with Donald Trum...

It’s laughable witnessing these yearly railings against some imaginary conspiracy and being told we need to “keep Christ in Christmas,” by people who don’t seem the slightest bit interested in keeping Christ in their Christianity the rest of the year.

We’re in a hell of a lot of trouble.

I like your yarn.
I was taught to use different needles for different yarns. Slippy yarn on rough needles, rougher yarns on smoother needles. I use both.

EVERYBODY.

This horrible man disgraces the office of President of the (dis)United States every day.
He is hatred personified.

This gangster government steals everyone’s property and doesn’t care about the laws respecting the rights of creators. Everything they see belongs to them like the greedy leeches on this country that they are.

Remember Admiral Holsey? The WSJ says Holsey had concerns about the boat strikes long ago. He expressed his concerns. Hegseth “asked” him to step down.

Hegseth, at the very least politically…will not survive this thing. He will not.

It’s bigger than he OR Trump at this point.

Rutgers, "The COVID pandemic began with a myth – that children are spared its ill effects" So why is the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health perpetuating this myth?

🚨🚨🚨Senator Mark Kelly with a special announcement. 1/2

This Christmas, consider donating to your local food bank.

Sadly populists called basic health preventions restrictions & equated to lockdown the wearing of a mask for an airborne virus. We were told and still are to only wash our hands for a predominantly airborne virus. What should be the priority here is the health of a baby. Not the temporary short 🧵

ICE is moving from illegal raids and brutality to ethic cleansing, just like any good Gestapo would do...
