I really can't recommend Aldi enough to people who find themselves bursting into tears at the grocery store over food prices. I somehow got almost two weeks of groceries for $146 today, including canned drinks. Yes, it was more beans and pasta than usual, but getting out for under $150 was magical.

Play is the work of children. It’s how they process the world around them and practice adult skills. In the photo below, children in Gaza are reenacting a funeral procession in play. (The photo is a screenshot I took from an even more heartbreaking video via AlJazeera.)

THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IS PAYING PEOPLE TO TURN IN """ CHILDREN """ !!!
