This is insane.
This 2006 Coca Cola Ad directed by Nagi Noda, with music by Jack White, aired just once. This is all shot on film in a single take with no CGI, all the snapshots are all real similar actors standing still.

De todas las fotos que se le han tomado a Trump, ​esta lo “retrata” espiritualmente. Su falta de empatía, cero interés en el problema de otro, ausencia de solidaridad, falta de cooperación para ayudar a terceros, cero preocupación por el estado del otro. Completamente ausente, emocional y humanamente, completamente incapaz de sentir lo que normalmente una persona, y más en su posición, sentiría.
Pobre de la gente que piensa que a Trump le interesa asistirlos. Esta foto lo dice claramente.
Tu problema no es su problema. A él le interesa él y nadie más.

I edited most of this shot with a little baby on my chest 🥹

My plan is to using the proceeds to cover our huge hospital bills 7k+ (that was with insurance 😭) as I recently gave birth to my gorgeous baby Luna.

Any support & reposting is so SO greatly appreciated 🙏

@helen_m_stevens I LOVE this song! The Blind Boys of Alabama sang Amazing Grace to the same tune and it was SO moving (Austin City Limits Festival, many years ago).

Senator Ruben Gallego just laid out the most powerful plan yet to stop Trump from stealing the 2026 midterms—and it's breathtaking in its simplicity.
If Trump tries to "nationalize the vote" and rig our elections, Gallego says we shut it ALL down. A general strike. Nationwide.
"If you're a pilot, do not show up. If you drive a train, do not show up. If you're a teacher, do not show up. We grind the country to a halt."
And here's the part that should make every billionaire nervous: "If we have to destroy the stock market to save democracy, we need to accept that. The richest and most powerful people in the world need to understand that that is a real possibility. There is no economic stability without democratic stability."
This is what real resistance looks like. Not just protest. Not just hashtags. Total shutdown.
The message to Trump is clear: Try to steal our democracy, and we'll make sure you have nothing left to rule over.
Senator just unveiled the plan to SHUT DOWN THE COUNTRY if Trump rigs 2026:

For Renee Nicole Good
Killed by I.C.E. on January 7, 2026

by Amanda Gorman

They say she is no more,
That there her absence roars,
Blood-blown like a rose.
Iced wheels flinched & froze.
Now, bare riot of candles,
Dark fury of flowers,
Pure howling of hymns.

If for us she arose,
Somewhere, in the pitched deep of our grief,
Crouches our power,
The howl where we begin,
Straining upon the edge of the crooked crater
Of the worst of what we’ve been.

Change is only possible,
& all the greater,
When the labour
& bitter anger of our neighbors
Is moved by the love 
& better angels of our nature.

What they call death & void,
We know is breath & voice; 
In the end, gorgeously, 
Endures our enormity. 

You could believe departed to be the dawn
When the blank night has so long stood.
But our bright-fled angels will never be fully gone,
When they forever are so fiercely Good.

D.C. Police Officer Jeffrey Smith bravely defended our Capitol on January 6th against Trump's insurrectionists. He suffered deep trauma after the day's events and later died by suicide.

I love this idea. My dad died when I was three and I had to figure out simple things like how to tie a tie and even shave on my own. Please retweet this because I know there are a lot of kids out there who could use some help with every day life.

🚨NEW: The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has rejected the Trump Administration’s offer of federal funding in exchange for aligning with Trump’s agenda. This is the first university to do so.

RETWEET to thank MIT President Sally Kornbluth for standing up to Trump!
