President Carter taught all of us what it means to live a life of grace, dignity, justice, and service. Michelle and I send our thoughts and prayers to the Carter family, and everyone who loved and learned from this remarkable man. barackobama.medium.com/our-s…

Enjoyed the respite of the season but for the year 2025 we have been promised the following:
Mass deportations.
Detention camps.
Vigorous pursuit of the death penalty.
Withdrawal of support of NATO and maybe total withdrawal from NATO.
Reductions of taxes for the wealthy and reductions of benefits for the regular citizens.
Reduction of education and informed medical science.
Continued reduction of the rights of women.
Threats of forced colonization of allies and expansion of an American empire.
Advancement of "white" people above all others.
Economy crashing tariffs paid by American consumers.
Intimidation of the press by all means conceivable.
Be rested and prepared to resist this American dystopia.
We've never faced anything like this before.
Will not be easy.
Use your voice and continue to point out injustice.

🎻Ukrainian violinist and serviceman, Moisei Bondarenko @MoiseiUA, together with Katrusia Zvolynska, have performed @tearsforfears' Mad World near the sign marking Donetsk Oblast.
This is, indeed, a mad world. But there is always room for beauty in it💙💛

A big shot employment attorney in California called me last night re: H1B visa fraud / trafficking of workers. Here’s what she said:
The market is cornered by visa body shops who apply for ~50% of the visas.
The economics of it: These body shops are headed by former hiring managers from Big Tech companies. They bring people to America, rent apartments for them, and house about 10 together in one apartment.
They put these recipients through a ~4 week bootcamp of basic tech training, fraudulently rewrite their resumes, teach them how to interview.
The body shops land them jobs, primarily at the companies these hiring managers came from, and pay the workers less than half of the money in hand.
Ex. Job is listed as a $200k salary, but the company is contracted with the body shop *not* the H1B worker, and the worker is actually paid closer to $40 an hour.
The body shops pocket most of the money and are making millions by essentially trafficking people.
The abuse and fraud must end!

I have to think that adding Canada as a state with 52 electoral votes might have some very unintended consequences

Got him!
It’s tricky to capture since he moves so fast, but with good equipment and a bit of perseverance, magic can happen!
Merry Christmas!

Ahead of Christmas, a cherished and family-centered holiday in Ukraine, I met with Ukrainian scouts who brought the Peace Light of Bethlehem. This light will also be passed on to our defenders.
Special thanks to the members of the youth organizations: @plast__ua “Plast – National Scout Organization of Ukraine,” the all-Ukrainian youth public organization @ukrscout “National Organization of Scouts of Ukraine,” and the public organization “Association of Guides of Ukraine.”
I am grateful for the light, their faith in Ukraine, and the warmth they bring to our nation.
