A reminder in dark times: kindness, mercy, decency, and respect towards the least of us enrages Trumpists. It burns them. It’s like a mirror that shows them how they fall short of humanity.

Kindness and decency towards the people Trumpists hate is not just right; it torments Trumpists.

March 15, 2025 March 15 is a crucially important day in U.S.

"It was this story that woke me up and made me a scholar. I found it fascinating that a group of ordinary people from country towns who shared a fear that they were losing their democracy could figure out how to work together to reclaim it."

Opossum eats whole Costco chocolate cake; fans have big feelings: β€˜Me too girl’ β€œI feel this opossum in my soul,” someone commented on Facebook.

A Humane Society worker took the critter the next day to Nebraska Wildlife Rehab with a note attached to her carrier: β€œOpossum was brought in due to having eaten an entire Costco chocolate cake.”

There it is. The world's richest man cutting funds for the poor in order to try to justify huge tax cuts and gifts to him and others. Not to mention more contracts and business deals that will benefit him I'm sure.

At least he admits it. One woman I know -- smug, middle class, white -- continues to post "we won, you didn't, get over it" garbage on social media. She's the kind of person who will never take responsbility.
