When Harriet Tubman was born, Thomas Jefferson was alive.

When Harriet Tubman died, Ronald Reagan was alive.

We are not as far removed from history as some would lead us to believe.

Our best people are dying because we won’t give #F16foUkraine. Thank you for your selfless service, Pete. #HeroyimSlava 🕯️🕯️ https://social.mykolayiv.dcomm.net.ua/@zloygik/109805062312760743

Pete Reed, a volunteer medic, was killed by shelling in Bakhmut, Ukraine yesterday while trying to evacuate civilians. One of the most selfless people I've ever met. Rest in peace, brother.

@uanews for the best. He and Putin are both known criminals

All Tyre Nichols wanted to do was go home.

All Trayvon Martin wanted to do was go home.

All Amadou Diallo wanted to do was go home.

Breonna Taylor WAS home.

#TyreNichols, a young black man, was brutally beaten to death by the brute force of over-policing.

Having the “wrong” skin color in the wrong place at the wrong time can be a racist death sentence for young black men.

I am speechless, shocked, and sick to my stomach.

How likely is it that you will still be on Mastodon a year from now?

The lack of respect shown to Andrea Stewart-Cousins of Yonkers, New York - who came up the hard way and earned her position of leadership in the Democratic Party through tenacity and grit - is frankly disgraceful.

One day you're on the front line of a war, the next day you're sitting in the Oval Office with the #President of the #UnitedStates of #America, and then the next day you're back on the front line of a war.
It must be a strange, sad, sobering feeling.

On the way back from the US to Ukraine, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy had a meeting with Polish President Andrzej Duda.
“We summed up the year, which brought historic challenges due to a full-scale war. Also, we discussed strategic plans for the future, bilateral relations and interactions at the international level in 2023,” Zelenskyy said on Telegram.

"President Trump had authority and responsibility to direct deployment of the National Guard in the District of Columbia, but never gave any order to deploy the National Guard on January 6th or on any other day. Nor did he instruct any Federal law enforcement agency to assist."

One of my projects is scanning in tens of thousands of family slides and photos taken over the years (since the late 1800s in fact.) The family lived in India for decades. This is one of my faves from Kaziranga National Park, where you go out on elephants to watch the rhinos, because elephants can get very close to them, even with people as passengers.

This photo taken by my FIL cracks me up. I call it "Elephant, Mud, and the White Sari."
