so far tonight msnbc has interviewed two students from brown university that are also survivors of separate high school shootings.

Extraordinary courage from Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim, 43-year-old father of two, who bravely risked his life to save his neighbors celebrating Hanukkah.

Praying for his full & speedy recovery.

And so deeply inspired by his example.

While we spectate on The East Wing being torn down, it isn’t just another hallway, it’s where Eleanor Roosevelt built the modern Office of the First Lady, where WWII bunkers were hidden, and where the public enters the People’s House. Erasing it is rewriting history.

Always share this cartoon when I see it 🩺

Ingrid, it’s Kismet, add me back.

Trans people can obtain accurate passports again. Here’s how The 19th spoke with experts about the window of opportunity — and risk — that exists while the State Department complies with a court order.

For most of this year, trans and nonbinary Americans have been blocked from obtaining passports that match their gender identity,

But now, at least for a limited time, trans people can obtain accurate passports again.

Let’s freaking gooooooo 💪

Neo-Nazis Celebrate After Elon Musk Appeared To Give Nazi Salute At Trump Inauguration Parade Well, they would know 🤔

They know what they saw, just like we all know what we saw. 🙄

The nazis first planned to 'just deport' the jewish population from germany.

We know how that turned out.

We must fight this every step of the way.

there’s going to be a whole cottage industry of chuds going “lol you actually believed he did a sieg heil” in bad faith and yeah man I watched him do it

this is who they are

Dear Elected Official:

Your job is not more important than opposing fascism.

Whatever good you,ve done, whatever good you think you'd do, it is NOT WORTH compromising w fascists.

You MUST OPPOSE anti democratic power plays EVEN IF IT COSTS YOUR JOB.

You are not THE ONE you need to be ONE OF US.

Did your child lose their book collection in the Los Angeles fires? Are you a teacher at a school that lost its library or your classroom library? Whether you need one book or a whole library, we can replace your books. 📚

Everyone else, please boost this post so we can connect with those in need. 🙏

Repost for no reason, no reason at all 😊

For most of my life, I’ve thought there were WAY too many books and movies whose sole message was “WW2 was a really big deal & Nazis are unredeemable monsters.”

But now I’m thinking there REALLY weren’t enough.

Omg, people are like "Elon Musk didn't do a nazi salute. He's just autistic and made a gesture."
My good bitch, I am autistic and white and blonde and light eyed. There is no way IN HELL I would ever making a gesture that looks like that because I know the optics of that gesture.
He did it purposely

I love that everyone enjoys the Sea of Stars game but, uh, this is not their account. 😅

this schmuck is stealing pictures and posts, if you’re looking for someone to block 👇

The following is the text of the email that Penelope Hegseth sent to her son, Pete Hegseth, on April 30, 2018, as he was in the middle of divorcing his wife, Samantha. One sentence was redacted by The New York Times for privacy reasons.

Son, I have tried to keep quiet about your character and behavior, but after listening to the way you made Samantha feel today, I cannot stay silent. And as a woman and your mother I feel I must speak out.. You are an abuser of women — that is the ugly truth and I have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around, and uses women for his own power and ego. You are that man (and have been for years) and as your mother, it pains me and embarrasses me to say that, but it is the sad, sad truth. I am not a saint, far from it.. so don't throw that in my face, but your abuse over the years to women (dishonesty, sleeping around, betrayal, debasing, belittling) needs to be called out.

Sam is a good mother and a good person (under the circumstances that you created) and I know deep down you know that. For you to try to label her as "unstable" for your own advantage is despicable and abusive. Is there any sense of decency left in you? She did not ask for or deserve any of what has come to her by your hand. Neither did Meredith. I know you think this is one big competition and that we have taken her side... bunk... we are on the side of good and that is not you. (Go ahead and call me self-righteous, I dont' care) Don't you dare run to her and cry foul that we shared with us... that's what babies do. It's time for someone (I wish it was a strong man) to stand up to your abusive behavior and call it out, especially against women

We still love you, but we are broken by your behavior and lack of character. I don't want to write emails like this and never thought I would. If it damages our relationship further, then so be it, but at least I have said my piece. [Redacted] And yes, we are praying for you (and you don't deserve to know how we are praying, so skip the snarky reply) I don't want an answer to this... I don't want to debate with you. You twist and abuse everything I say anyway. But... On behalf of all the women (and I know it's many) you have abused in some way, I say... get some help and take an honest look at yourself... Mom

a man who gets an email like this from his own mother should be legally required to reveal it to every woman he ever meets ever ever

If you're an artist (or someone who buys foreign goods for their profession/hobby), get your stuff this year before the inauguration.

Tariffs are likely to be put into place, and other countries will respond. We're going to be paying more for paper, paint, tech, brushes, pens, you name it.

I have! And yes, maybe. I’d like to think so. BlueSky doesn’t do DMs, right? I’ll message you on Discord.

I know. 😔

There’s so much more I could say but I don’t know if my heart can take it right now.

I’m so sorry, Meimi.

I wish I’d been a better friend to you.

I love you so much.

I’ll never, ever forget you.

You really were like a supernova in my life.

I think I have only one picture with her and I look absolutely terrible with my awful haircut. I always said we should take another and whenever we saw each other I think we always forgot. So I’m going to treasure that one awful picture.

Really, she was in to so many things, and she really was someone who made a fandom so much more fun with her insights, her jokes, and everything.

I remember she and I made Japanese curry once and it was SO spicy because of the curry powder I found and we just laughed and ate it while crying.
