SANTA'S BLESSING "May you enjoy a lifetime filled with happiness, peace, good health, prosperity, and, most of all, love -- the greatest gift." ~ The Rt. Rev. Santa Claus, OAC: Bishop & Monk My legal name, Santa Claus, stems from Sinterklaas, the Dutch expression for Saint Nicholas: Bishop & Monk

PROTECT OUR SOCIAL SECURITY! “A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security on 100% of their income. A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security on less than 1% of their income. Instead of raising the retirement age… scrap the Social Security cap.” ~ Robert Reich

“People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” ~Maya Angelou

WHY DO WE HAVE WARS? Because we are ruled by an elite group of psychopaths who own the banks that control the governments and media. They fund both sides of war for profit and they manufacture the consent of the public through the propaganda of the media. ~Stephen Geist RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!

A gentle reminder: Some stranger somewhere remembers you because you were kind to them. :-)}

“Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience.” ~ Dolly’s Family Dolly’s Imagination (Free) Library⤵️

DOUBLE-WHAMMY Trump’s tariffs on Canada Trump’s war against Iran GOP, especially MAGA, candidates are worried. Vote them all out! Then, impeach and convict Trump and his cronies. After Trump is out of office, indict, try, convict, and imprison him for the rest of his life. PROTECT OUR CHILDREN!

🎅🏻 ⤵️ “When the song of the angels is stilled, when the star in the sky is gone, when the kings and princes are home… the work of Christmas begins. To find the lost, to heal the broken, to feed the hungry, to release the prisoner, to rebuild the nations, to bring peace among people.” ~ Howard Thurman

IRAN "We pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. They were able to maintain a modest civilian nuclear program for energy. There's no dispute that it worked, and we didn't have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz." ~ Barack Obama

“The sun hits the Earth with 10,000 times more energy than we use. Every. Single Day. We’re not running out of power. We’re just stuck using the wrong kind, because billionaires don’t own sunlight.” ~RawAmerica

NOTICE: If Trump had not torn up Obama's Iran Nuclear Agreement, we’d have: $40 billion more, 300+ fewer injured Americans, $2.49 gasoline, zero US bases severely damaged, Iran’s uranium capped, the world a safer place, and a less extreme Supreme Leader in Iran. IMPEACH, CONVICT & IMPRISON FOR LIFE!

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES! “My private island is simply an exclusive, quiet sanctuary.” ~Epstein “It wasn’t a sanctuary. It was a heavily guarded, highly funded slaughterhouse for children. You bought the absolute silence of presidents & princes while you traded our bleeding bodies.” ~Guiffre 💔😡🎅🏻

“MAGA isn’t drawn to Trump because he's smart or competent. They’re drawn to him because he tells uneducated, insecure, angry people that their stupidity & ignorance is actually strength… They don’t want leadership. They want validation for being ignorant &Trump gives it to them every single day.” ⬇️

TIMELY REMINDER Christian Nationalism is the fake piety of displaying the Ten Commandments in classrooms, while passing laws that grind the poor into dust, abandon the sick to their suffering, and turn away the hungry at the door…while spitting on His Gospel. It is not of Christ. It is anti-Christ.

“This is where we are right now…No one is left out of the loop. We are experiencing a reality based on a thin veneer of lies & illusions. A world where greed is our God, wisdom is sin, division is key, unity is fantasy, ego-driven cleverness is praised, rather than intelligence of the heart.” ~Hicks

Hope is not naive. She knows the depth of the pain, of being lost in the world. But she still decides for life, for a new beginning, for tomorrow. And confidence is the inner knowledge that every night ends, that every winter brings a spring, and that new light can arise from even the deepest wounds

"The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything." ~ Albert Einstein Primarily, I'll be supporing independent, progressive, democratic socialist candidates. PLEASE BE SURE TO VOTE, DURING ELECTION SEASON!

Medicare4All! Yale University researchers found that Medicare4All would reduce total annual healthcare spending by nearly 20%, or more than $1 trillion, while eliminating premiums, deductibles & copayments, provider networks, and prior authorization, and would save 114,000 lives every year. ~ Bernie

A salient and timely observation: “The modern conservative is engaged in one of man’s oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.” ~ John Kenneth Galbraith

Reuters reported the US Army has used up virtually all of its surface-to-surface munitions, highlighting worries about the US’s readiness to wage warfare if more conflicts emerge in other parts of the world. Trump & Hegseth: Bombing for peace is like fucking for virginity. ALL WARS KILL CHILDREN!

Perhaps: "Three Wise Women Would Have Asked Directions Arrived On Time Birthed The Baby Cleaned The Stable Baked A Casserole And, There Would Be Peace On Earth.” :-)}

The most underrated act of kindness is letting people be. Let them mispronounce a word, talk too much about a show they love, or get excited about something they don’t understand. Everyone has something that lights them up. Let them shine, even if it’s not your thing. @ 3amThoughts

“Not all those who wander are lost.” ~ J.R.R. Tolkien I enjoy wandering, from time to time. It helps me re-set and re-focus :-)}

“We don’t own the earth. We are the earth’s caretakers; we take care of it and all the things on it. And when we’re done with it, it should be left better than we found it.” Credit: Text & Image (below): FB/Soulful Reflections & Katherine H.

"Go to an old cemetery. See all the baby graves from before the 1950s & 60s? After that, hardly any. That's when people started vaccinating their children against deadly childhood diseases. If you're unsure what to do to protect your kids, the answer is literally written in stone." ~ Michael Okuda

A gentle reminder: “It's not our job to toughen our children up to face a cruel and heartless world. It's our job to raise children who will make the world a little less cruel and heartless.” ~ L.R.Knost

REMINDER: "Until 1973, health insurance companies were non-profit. Republicans changed the law - Now, they profit $25 Billion a year off your health.” @mascbyjeffchastain IT’S TIME FOR MEDICARE FOR ALL! @SantaClausAlaska
