ALL PIPELINES 12/22 STOP CULTURAL GENOCIDE/Ecosystem Attack/StandWithUkraine/Jan 6 Hearings/climate

To those Republicans demanding accountability, we the people demand the same of you, those of you in Putin's back pocket. Shame on you! We, the people, are not letting you off the hook. You can expect many more challenges from us in the new year. The timeline for today's events are given toward the end of the article. There can be no just peace. We have another country who attacked a sovereign nation on false pretenses, and continues to attack the citizens in an attempt to force them to surrender to Russia. That will never happen. - 'You will never stand alone': Biden meets with Zelenskyy who addresses Congress tonight: live updates via @azcentral

What a joke! Saw Lake do this and decided to try this himself? - Abe Hamadeh asks court for emergency hearing in Arizona attorney general election challenge via @azcentral

Couldn't agree more. We do need to stand as a unified front against the CA Ind. Petroleum Assn. that is attempting to overturn the hard fought for SB 1137. They want their profits. We want to stop the destruction of this planet, something that never crosses the minds of any fossil fuel companies. They don't care about the future of our kids. They're in it for the money. - Newsom has the power to stop new drilling

Some #foodforthought worth mentioning, posting particularly for people who reside in Los Angeles. Make the connections to the history of Los Angeles. Note the links provided as well. - 'He mirrors us'

This is also important to note: The Board of Supervisors supports Mayor Bass's actions as well in addressing the homelessness issue. - L.A. County officials back Bass' homelessness stance

Think about who he was before becoming Ukraine's president. Think too how Ukraine's continued freedom, continued democracy relates to us here in the U.S. We cherish both deeply. - Zelensky Speaks, by @DanRather

Looks like things aren't going so well for Lake. So surprising. You know I'm joking. The judge's facial expression is priceless. Will this be an Xmas present when this frivolity is shut down permanently? - No evidence of misconduct in first day of Kari Lake election-challenge trial via @azcentral

This has gotten beyond ridiculous. It's as bad as the Ninjas inspecting the votes in 2020. Enough already. MAGAs are an embarrassment to AZ. - Ballot inspection must take place for Arizona attorney general race, judge rules via @azcentral

We all should have a good idea why these power companies attempted to do this. Interesting there were consequences for one of the journalists. The tip of the iceberg in terms of power companies. - How journalists uncovered power companies' ploy to buy the press, by @emorwee

Quite a lot of info to digest here. Why this guy's image is used is beyond my comprehension, not being someone I trust one iota. Part of what he wanted went through with some concessions. The one thing I was looking for more than anything knowing the GOP take control of the House and don't support Zelenskyy is seeing the funding there for Ukraine as a part of this. Of course I was interested in more, but. - Senate passes $1.7 trillion omnibus spending bill

Do I really need to say anymore? - Zelensky helps Pelosi exit House in historic fashion

And btw, F DeSantis and his BS. Looking forward to him fading into never new land after 2024 where he goes no where in his political ambitions. Most of us would never vote for this chump. - Do Not Cross DeSantis

A gift from me for you. Never forget the actions of a 2-year old by Boebert, Gaetz, Burchett sulking, or the comments by the other wannabes with no respect for others. Actually they have no respect for themselves either to present themselves in this way. Those who trash talk are the real trash. Seems these GOP reps are ignorant of the fact that no one is surprised about their actions. Never forget what the Dems have been able to accomplish in 2 years, some with the help of the GOP, some without. Doubtful you'll see this as the GOP takes control. - Opinion: For Republicans it's going to be a fabulist year.

Watch the video included. That will explain why I say this here. The high crimes and misdemeanors have been committed by Andy Biggs with his involvement in the insurrection. Remove Biggs & his compadres. When will they pay for their crimes? Details of the agreement have not been released yet. None of the work removing these monstrosities has begun yet. - Arizona governor agrees to remove shipping container wall from US-Mexico border via @azds

A gift from me for you. So he's finally saying it out loud? We can look at it like he's finally admitted it? We always knew it was. Putin illegally attacked Ukraine. He playing to the GOP Reps who will take over the House in January? Only they admire his autocratic control, and would love to emulate it here, something we will never let them do. Never forget, Putin looks to see that Ukraine is handed over to him. Dream on, Putin. That will never happen. I'm guessing he's refusing to believe that he's been losing. - Putin declares 'war' - aloud - forsaking his special euphemistic operation

A People’s History of the Inflation Reduction Act

Watch the GOP try to twist this. You realize this is coming. Still I stand with what President Zelenskyy said: "It's an investment in global security and democracy that we handle in the most responsible way. - Zelensky tells Congress: Aid 'is not charity'

Our new mayor Richardson promised in his inauguration speech and now he's following through, saying too in an interview: "'When L.A. thrives, our region thrives.'" - Long Beach calls emergency of its own

I'm not surprised. Once these shakers are at the end of the 5s, in the 6s, serious damage happens. Californians expect this. - Towns tally damage from earthquake

Have to smile. Losing every which way eh, Vladimir Solovyov? Truth shines! Facts matter. Putin's as much a liar as our twice impeached con man is. - ‘Get Rid of the Video!’: Putin Crony Freaks Out in Live TV Flop Over Zelensky Clip via @thedailybeast

I'm sure most realize how critical Zelenskyy's trip was in spite of what the GOP who are trying to twist already. Still you have to wonder about those in Congress who stand with Putin. - Volodymyr Zelensky’s Critical Visit to Washington, D.C. via @NewYorker

Always some kind of monkey wrench. - How big a role will wind power play in Duke’s N.C. Carbon Plan? | Energy News Network

A free read from me to you. I've had discussions with others disputing this, yet, I have believed in our VP for quite some time, and think she really doesn't get the credit she deserves. So this may be costing me a gift I wasn't intending to use, I thought it necessary since IMHO this solidifies my argument. Do you really think she does nothing? Read and find out. Opinion: Kamala Harris had a most excellent year

Smart move. Stand up to Netanyahu. IMHO he's dangerous. - Hundreds of US rabbis pledge to block extremists in Israeli government from speaking in their communities - Jewish Telegraphic Agency via @jtanews
