Canadians booed during the USA National Anthem before a hockey game against Team USA. Just so we’re clear: WE are the scary Russians/Icelanders in this Rocky IV/Miracle on Ice/Mighty Ducks 2 moment.

If ever there was a time to kneel during the National Anthem at a football game…

Hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans who fled an authoritarian dictatorship were just stripped of their legal status (TPS.) Overnight they became β€œillegal” (because of another authoritarian dictatorship…)

Hey fellow millennial white ladies: no more Target. (UNLESS you are going to specifically buy minority-owned products.) For books, let’s check out Black Pearl. Makeup = Ulta. Groceries = HEB or Costco. Clothes = Old Navy. Want to just wander aisles and see what speaks to you? Go thrifting. #dei

Nothing we do is ever dangerous enough or an β€œatrocity” the way it is everywhere else in the world. And this has convinced most Americans that there’s no way that those terrible things from the past could happen here. But we’re not only capable, we’re quite experienced in the forces of oppression.

The most dangerous myth US Americans have subconsciously accepted is American ✨Exceptionalism.✨ While we celebrate our successes, Exceptionalism also means we’ve convinced ourselves that we’re incapable of making the same mistakes other people/state make. It’s not the same when WE do it.

Update: turns out McKinley was not a person. He was a man.

If you’re wondering why Trump was fanboying over McKinley in his inaugural address, McKinley’s presidency was known for:

1. Realigning and strengthening the Republican Party
2. Economic protection through tariffs
3. Imperialism motivated by US economic interests

Have him check out Filmora. It’s basically an exact copy (but owned by a US company I guess? And more expensive?)

How did I miss the memo that CapCut was also getting banned? aka the tool I use to create every YouTube video. (I had 5 I was in the process of editing that are now inaccessible to me.) Am I the only one that had no idea?

I’m losing my mind.

It seems clear to me that this whole TikTok ban has turned into a PR stunt for Trump. The error message you see when you try to access the app praises Trump, even though he’s the one who started this whole thing. TikTok will be back, but what backdoor deals have been made? What’s the cost?

In hindsight this was probably not the best weekend to switch up my anxiety meds.

Trump is moving his inauguration indoors bc of cold weather. I guess he doesn’t think he can beat William Henry Harrison’s record for longest speech? And he did it without a coat on.

In his Farewell Address, Biden warned about the growing β€œtech-industrial complex” - a reference to Eisenhower’s fear of the β€œmilitary-industrial complex” growing after WWII. Will we listen??? (Hint: Did we listen to Eisenhower?????) ((Spoiler: no we will not and no we did not)

I’ll fight anyone who says this isn’t the greatest Christmas song. Snoopy + CHRISTMAS BELLS + WWI German fighter pilot Baron von Richthofen? No notes.
