#StayReadyCrew Here’s something you can do that actually helps Democrats and yourself…PREPARE YOUR HOUSEHOLDS AS BEST YOU CAN FOR THE NEXT REPUBLICAN ONSLAUGHT. I keep seeing sooooo many people that helped get us to this place tell you to do everything but the obvious thing. The GOP knows people

Winter is coming

Such a disappointment that inconvenience for the wealthy and corporate business class is the only thing to move the needle.

I have a hard and fast rule about not sharing substack links, but if you want to understand the strategy behind what Justice Jackson did in issuing a administrative stay with a 48 hour deadline re SNAP, do a little searching. Don’t just be like “I can’t believe she did that.” She had a reason.

I survived airline travel last night. I feel exceptionally lucky.

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...

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win

Hey sweet thang, This is your reminder that every living thing in the world slows down during these next months. You’re not lazy cuz you’re doing less. It’s okay that the early darkness makes you tired (it’s supposed to). Humans the only ones who keep fighting against the natural patterns of life.

I love my feed on Sundays cause everyone is very much in their own zone. We got football, home improvement, cooking, self care…. I love this for us. lol

Wildest Bears game in a while!

Jamaica: "We soon be back from the storm!"

I feel like I say this every year but I really need people to hear it. Halloween is the best American holiday. Just kids outside welcomed into their world, marching around together, showing off their costumes to the elderly, parents meeting parents, neighbors catching up with neighbors.

A movie you've seen more than 7 times with a gif.

BREAKING: Federal judge rules that the Trump administration likely illegally suspended SNAP benefits, ruling that at least reduced distribution is required to go forward under law using the $6 billion reserve fund. Judge gives the Trump admin until Monday to respond as to whether it will act.

Involuntary waking up at 5am a week before we do this business with the clocks is concerning me

Walz: "They are paying contractors to pay down the East Wing but they're not putting money into the food bank. So if there's a sense of frustration in America, it's very real ... when the White House press secretary said their top priority is the ballroom, we could not disagree more."

They are still using the "we overhired during the pandemic" line. The pandemic was 5 years ago. This is more likely due to overspending on AI bloat no one needs or asked for. AI may not be replacing jobs from a productivity standpoint yet, but they sure are gonna cut up their workforce like it is.

I finally watched Weapons last night, and that movie was unhinged... I loved it! Of course, I dreamed about that shit too. Oh well, happy Monday!

For the Americans I know you don’t hear much global news but Ireland just elected Catherine Connolly as our president by a laaaaandslide ✊🏽

My mama time….and the music was top tier!!

Don't tell me boycotts don't work...

I only know 3 people who are hardcore trekkies. All three are women 🫠

AWS gods are like... nah no work today

I'm attending No Kings's event, “Mass Call: What's Next After No Kings?” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

I was there. This show was fire up until the abrupt end. Brandy and Monica both looked amazing, and Kelly did her thing earlier, too. Still don't know what happened. I hope she's okay, but the rumors are going wild rn

This is the way

October 16, 1968

I'm 46 pages into Kamala's book and already pissed off. This might take me a while because I keep stopping to process my disappointment.

To be clear: LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government. The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency. This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

They made those $5 footlong jingles too catchy and now we can't forget it

My husband has never seen The Silence of the Lambs. We're fixing this tonight.

As with countless other words and phrases, white people stole “woke” from Black English (AAVE) and ruined it.

Donald Trump: Stop trying to incite Illinoisans into violence. Pack up and go home.

The Coates-Klein debate (and meta-debate) just reinforces my belief that we elevated the wrong MLK passage. Not the optimistic “content of their character” I Have A Dream speech. But the “white moderate … [who] advises the Negro to wait for a ‘more convenient season’” Letter From Birmingham Jail.

One Battle After Another is on one hell of a press tour. Guess I know what me and the hubs are doing later today

Thinking of Assata.

I'll continue to be "I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win"-posting, so figure I should address this point that seems to come up every so often Q: "is it still 'winning' if only *some* good things happen in the near term instead of total planetary eco socialist revolution?" A: yes

Don't tell me boycotts don't work

Let's go spooky season! 💙📚 "The Bewitching" by Silvia Moreno-Garcia #BookSky

No impostor syndrome, no fear of not being good enough. Go do that thing you want to do, secure in the knowledge that absolute morons are all around us

This is the real reason Jimmy Kimmel is being taken off the air. Brian Stelter: "Nexstar already owns lots of TV stations. It wants to merge with Tegna, which owns lots of other stations. In order to do that, it needs Brandon Carr, the FCC Chair's, permission."

Suddenly, I feel like I haven't bought enough books.

For years, I've tried to tell y'all what cops know, and what criminal justice reformers know, about how murders really get solved. Look at how massive the manhunt for both Luigi Mangioni and Tyler Robinson were. Then look at how they were actually caught. 🤷🏿‍♂️ Two phone calls.

DO NOT RSVP FOR A PROTEST, ESPECIALLY NOW. SERIOUSLY.

"Not today"

On another note, my backyard chickens, aka the city girls, are doing great. This is Syrax.

Oh no.

Black people…… Take care. Know you’re being gaslit You heard what you heard. You saw what you saw. Your feelings are valid. The hypocrisy is maddening. Insulate yourself from it as best you can. ♥️
