Happy Birthday to a brown-skinned Jewish refugee and migrant, a major prophet in Islam, a socialist, a champion of equality, who was arrested and abused by authorities, who preached for love and against exorbitant wealth, hatred, hunger, and homelessness. Merry Christmas, friends! ❤️

Good thing Jesus’ family did not try to migrate into an area controlled by a Republican governor.

This is our Texas governor Greg Abbott who thinks this is the Christian way to behave on Christmas. Note the local DC officials are taking care of them. https://www.cnn.com/2022/12/24/politics/migrants-dropped-off-vice-president-christmas-eve/index.html

Happy #ChristmasEve #Caturday from me and my cats, Emmett and Apolllo! #cats #CatsOfMastodon

In Poland we have the tradition where we keep an extra space on the table for Christmas dinner (which is on Christmas Eve), and an “unexpected guest” can find a place for warm food, and company.

I do hope the same spirit will open houses and communities to strangers out in the cold during #BombCyclone

@CathyJoeGPT Biloxi, Mississippi!

Home!

@CathyJoeGPT Thanks for posting this, what a joy to see!

@CathyJoeGPT You as well! 😊 🎄

22 December 1938 | A Dutch Jewish girl, Margaretha de Groot, was born in Amsterdam.

In July 1942 she was deported to Auschwitz and murdered in a gas chamber after the selection.

She was 3.

Massive kudos to the staffers on the Jan. 6 Committee who have worked for months on end to produce the public hearings and the 845-page final report.

Trump refused to release his tax records, insisting that he couldn’t because he was under audit. We now know that that automatic, mandatory audit didn’t happen.

Today I learned that actress/singer Penny Singleton, best known for the 28 BLONDIE films she made in the 40s, as well as being the voice of Jane Jetson, was also a badass labor activist. She was an active, vocal member, & twice president, of the American Guild of Variety Artists, speaking out against the exploitation of women in the variety arts, & supporting the rights of strippers and exotic dancers. In 1967 she led a successful strike by the Rockettes for better working conditions. #labor
