There’s a young southern woman on tt doing an experiment: calling churches & asking if they can help her get baby formula, saying she can’t afford it. Of the 30+ she’s called, nearly every church has said no. The ones who said yes were: Black Baptist Churches A Mosque A small Appalachian church

Accord @stevevladeck.bsky.social

I may be kinda cunty at times but at least I’m not ICE, in the Epstein Files or Stephen Miller

These are incredibly difficult times. We are suffering from a severe shortage of food and clean water 💔 I urgently need $300 to secure our basic needs and survive. Every donation, no matter how small, makes a big difference 🙏 Help us through our campaign ⬇️🫂🕊️ gofund.me/ee0d9264b

Soooo it seems like the video has been taken down cause he raised enough money but Mamdani actually crowd funded his transition team money. There was a lot of criticism from the usual sources for "already asking for money" but transition teams are usually funded by hidden donors

The phone number for the U.S. Capitol switchboard is (202) 224-3121. #epstein

New — While some states have received SNAP benefits for November and USDA is supposedly pushing through all federal payments soon, that doesn’t erase the psychological terror of the last few weeks. I spoke with 20+ SNAP recipients in 16 states about preparing for a possible future with no food:

BREAKING: Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson issues an administrative stay in the SNAP benefits case, for the First Circuit to issue its ruling on the stay request (“with dispatch”). Her administrative stay ends 48 hours after that ruling is issued (or upon further order).

Buried in the Big Beautiful Bill were changes to food assistance that demanded “any future change be cost-neutral. Translation: no more benefit increases, even if food prices skyrocket.” The result was “institutionalized hunger.” @kristencrowell.bsky.social www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

BREAKING: Judge Immergut issues a permanent injunction against Pete Hegseth and the deployment of the National Guard to Portland. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

🚨BREAKING: President Donald Trump violated the Constitution and federal law by ordering hundreds of National Guard soldiers to Portland, Oregon, earlier this year, a federal judge ruled Friday. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I’ve never seen an American elected official fight so hard to starve people.

Trump would rather let 42 million Americans go hungry than admit he broke the law.

I’ve long thought Trump is good at picking fights that benefit him politically but the fact he’s fighting right now to starve Americans is making me reassess

They're going to the highest court in the land to avoid feeding children.

The US Justice Department urged a New York state appeals court to reverse Donald Trump’s felony conviction, an extraordinary intervention by federal officials as the president seeks to clear his criminal record

Sen. Sanders: For the first time ever, the majority party in the Senate is refusing to negotiate. It is their way or the highway. And to make the situation even more absurd, you got a Speaker of the House who has now given his members a 6 week paid vacation

After closing the dining facility at Fort Leavenworth in Kansas and referring US troops stationed in Germany to German food pantries, the US military under the Trump administration is now preparing to close up to 168 on-base commissaries by December and commissaries abroad in another month.

SAME

You just bought MILLIONS of dollars of beef from Argentinian ranchers, are terrorizing and deporting honest hardworking laborers … thereby telling American ranchers, laborers and the entirety of the American food eating public

About a quarter mile south of U.S. Route 395, there once stood a solitary Joshua tree that became the namesake for U2’s most famous album.

A final fuck off to James Watson and to every news source who’s naming him as one of two co-discoverers of DNA structure without mentioning Rosalind Franklin. 🖕

Full circle

It was said by NY Chief Judge Sol Wachtler that “a Grand Jury would indict a ham sandwich if you wanted.” Hilariously the recent grand jury did not indict Sean Dunn for throwing a sandwich, the presence of Ham was raised but it was not explicitly defined as such.

Clearly @repdexteror.bsky.social's error was not wearing body armor and chanting Hang Mike Pence -- bc Mike Johnson really digs that.

I am told Republicans won't accept the Schumer offer in part because they don't want to fight over the ACA subsidies again before midterms.

The man who ended USAID is the world's first trillionaire

Change my mind. I’ll wait.

This is the story of seperation. Of dehumanization And of love This is what our country does to love To people on their finite time on earth it takes the love that binds us And creates our greatest sorrows God damn us all

Lame duck Trump in the No Kings era.🇺🇸

In progress.

Cutting flights because of the govt shutdown is a stunt, plain and simple

The demoocrat leadership are scum bags. I am not prone to name calling. And today is fits. All of them damn scum after the clear communication from the electorate Tuesday. And undeniable polling evidence to boot

Exhibit #2625 on Dems winning the politics of the shutdown fight. Check out this polling from @groundwork.bsky.social:

BYE BITCH

@schumer.senate.gov @schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov NO! Capitulation is weak. Defying the will of the people. Tuesday? Don’t be beholden to anyone but the people. Throwing the poor and the law under the bus by not fighting for Medicaid or holding trump to follow thru on anything PATHETIC

Call your senators and Schumer’s office NOW. Capital switch board number (202) 224-3121

Throwing away all your political capital after a historic off year election for a 1 year continuation of ACA funding is absolutely pathetic.

So… throw the poor and medically ill people under the bus??? @schumer.senate.gov ABSOLUTELY NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO cc: @padilla.senate.gov @schiff.senate.gov NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

LET'S GET LOUD! 🗣️ On Starbucks's busiest sales day of the year, workers are holding rallies in 16 cities. And we need YOU there! When customers and community members speak out, the company listens. Let's stand together against corporate greed and union-busting! RSVP: bit.ly/redcuprallies

As someone who has managed to not cross a picket line even when it was nearly all the grocery stores in the metro area on strike, really don't wanna hear anyone talking about how they just HAVE to cross the Starbucks picket line. This is like the easiest solidarity ever.

The Trump Shutdown is the longest in US history. House Republicans aren’t even in DC — they’re hiding out at home for the 5th week in a row. As the GOP does nothing, federal workers are missing paychecks, families are going hungry, air travel is becoming a nightmare, and our economy is sputtering.

Cornell paid millions to get illegally frozen grants unfrozen, and effectively agreed to help the Trump regime's assault on academic freedom to get bad faith investigations dropped, while also agreeing the govt can launch new investigations! Full text here: statements.cornell.edu/2025/documen...

Took the kids to The Cloisters today at the top of Manhattan. So many good reminders inside that humans have lived through some really insane shit at the hands of religious ferocity and violent crusades of all sorts. History is a teacher. PS. I love NYC.
