"Tolerance becomes a crime when applied to evil." Thomas Mann

Good morning bluecrew. I have written the White House, VP Harris, Dem Leader Jeffries, Sen Schiff this morning urging enshrining of the ERA. Please join me. It's vital to American women's Equal Rights. You can start here: www.whitehouse.gov/contact/

Here’s a live look today at the U.S. southern border that was described in the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing as “open” “in crisis” “chaotic” “wild” and “lawless.”

Grandma got run over by a reindeer, for real this time.

Congrats to CNN for Lowest-Rated Week in Decades, It's Well Deserved My New Post:

The poem below illustrates The reason we cannot Allow Texas & Florida To continue closing School libraries and Firing school librarians. Reading gives wings to Children's dreams. Libraries give learners Places to soar.

FML. Exactly what we need - another potential pandemic as the circus comes back into town. You think last one was bad? Wait till RFK gets a say.

Ramswampy and the autistic guy from X want to cut veteran healthcare

This.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Agriculture Department orders testing of the nation's milk supply for bird flu.

Today is Celebrate Shelter Pets Day! 🥳 I don't know what I'd do without my shelter cats Fergus and Francie, and this holiday season I'm trying to raise some money to make sure more wonderful friends in our community find their perfect homes. Please consider donating if you can! gofund.me/a44dd513

This dead CEO story is getting more coverage than UHC ever provided

A CBS News investigation found dozens of law enforcement leaders — sheriffs, captains, lieutenants, chiefs of police — buying & illegally selling firearms, even weapons of war, across 23 U.S. states, Puerto Rico & Washington, D.C., from the Deep South to the Midwest, Northeast & California coast.

This ain’t right😡

Shero

Elon and Vivek want to cut 190 MILLION from Veterans benefits, assuring Vets are "suckers and losers" just like Trump said.

This is dark. The need for universal health care/#MedicareForAll has never been clearer. www.cnn.com/2024/12/05/h...

Hegseth is surely out. trump would see him as a loser AND also be reminded of his brother's alcoholism so looks like it could be desantis after all

And then, we all pay the price. I have no forgiveness for this.

Buckle up: we’re about to have the most incompetent DHHS, NIH, FDA and CDC ever—and a POTUS who doesn’t care if anyone outside his family lives or dies. You will have to take care of you and yours by paying close attention to what real (non-partisan) experts say and using harm-mitigation strategies.

Easy to spot

Dear President Biden, In the spirit of Dark Brandon, please use one of your Executive Orders to CANCEL ALL STUDENT DEBT. That way, if trump wanted to reverse it, he'd have to disappoint all those families and reinstate all that debt. You have immunity. Just do it. Signed, US

Porn bots are everywhere. Is there a plan for that

We should never forget.

Hard to miss Christians. WTAF.

Call me crazy, but I think Justin Sun, a Chinese national being prosecuted for fraud by the SEC, sending Trump $18 million should be a bigger story The direct enrichment of Trump by a foreign national weeks before he takes office has merited no coverage in the NYT or Washington Post

I hope folks remember that boycotting is a privilege some don’t have. Poor folks shop at Walmart. Disabled folks shop on Amazon. We do what we can. Shaming others isn’t the way.

Just a reminder that in 2022, President Biden pardoned 6500 Americans convicted of simple possession of marijuana. Thank you President Biden

This sounds about white.

One woman or girl is killed every 10 minutes by their intimate partner or other family member southafrica.un.org/en/284342-on...

Personally, I think the biggest story is that Trump wants to put people in charge of national security who wouldn't be able to pass a background check. But, sure, let's have one last gasp of norms based reporting.
