The horrific tragedy at Brown University is the 389th mass shooting this year and the 230th gun incident on school grounds so far this year. This is not normal and we don't have to live this way. bradyunited.org @bradyunited.org

In the category of things I never expected to have to do, I made an appointment to get an MMR booster next week. These morons.

Grandparents raising grandkids asked for respite and real support. New Mexico delivered. Universal child care isn’t just helping parents return to the workforce. It’s returning precious time to those in their golden years. More here: https://tinyurl.com/333mj4m7

Rhoda was one of those sturdy farm women who suffered through loss and back-breaking hard work at the turn of the 20th century. A stalwart member of her church and the farm community in Ohio, she entered the 1949 Pillsbury Bake Off with this tasty cake. #baking open.substack.com/pub/lindybra...

Teach a man who hates socialism and votes for authoritarianism to farm and he can receive socialist handouts for life from the government that bankrupted him in the first place.

Trump’s stupid, unconstitutional tariffs. This is ALL on him. MAGA, MAGA.👇

Whisper it... • J.R.R. Tolkien •

The Chief of Police in Minneapolis says their department won't help ICE and is telling residents to report ICE abductions to the police as kidnappings. If you're from Minneapolis, you should be proud to have that kind of leadership. To hell with the domestic terrorists known as ICE. 🖕🧊

Older men, divorce, foreclosure, lawsuits and a little jail time. The Tinklers brought it all. Oh and an elegant white cake that won Liz a spot in the 1949 Pillsbury Bake Off. #baking open.substack.com/pub/lindybra...

The U.S. is the only democracy in the world with: - Lifetime terms for high court judges - An electoral college for choosing an executive - A legislative chamber where legislative minorities routinely and permanently thwart legislative majorities - 75% requirements for constitutional amendments

Tonight, we did something everyone counted out. We proved to a nation that states like Tennessee are still worth fighting for. The margin was close, and that can only be attributed to the thousands of volunteers who showed out. This is just the beginning.

So, seems like we’re not all that serious about fighting the war on drugs after all. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/02/u...

I wonder if knowledge of the double tap prompted the six members of congress to make that ad, and that's what made Trump and Hegseth so angry about it.

I love the man in this tractor so very much.

What do these corporations have in common? Netflix Ford Tesla T-Mobile Duke Energy DISH Network Metlife Dominion Energy United States Steel In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes. This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

Happy Thanksgiving for those who celebrate! If you're wondering what to do with your leftover cranberry sauce, try this cake. It's more delicious than you would expect. open.substack.com/pub/lindybra...

Getting a dopamine hit over here...

Justice.

Agree completely. Protect #albuquerque and the #newmexico culture. No Darren White.

We’re about to invade Venezuela because trump wants their oil. No other reason. The airspace has been cleared. Embassies are being evacuated. Flights are being canceled. He’s going to kill people for oil.

Speaking of ads in unnecessary places, a bank advertisement in my fortune cookie last night. #ugh #juststopit

Thanks to his new Tesla pay package, Elon Musk could stand to make $3 billion more per year than all 1.4 million elementary school teachers in the U.S. combined. Still wondering if inequality is out of control?

These posters started popping up ahead of next week’s We Ain’t Buying It boycott. From Nov 27 - Dec 1, folks are stepping back from corporate chains like Target, Home Depot, and Amazon. People are done being squeezed, so they are using the leverage of their wallets 💥

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged. Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

From rural Virginia and the heart of Maryland comes a great no-nonsense corn bread recipe. Pearl Strickler, like many women in her time, had a short-lived education but she poured her intelligence into her cooking. Here's her story. #baking #pillsbury lindybrandon.substack.com/p/1949-maryl...

To our USPHS colleagues deployed to ICE: These missions are hard. We see you. Keep providing the most compassionate care possible 💚 And if you see harm or neglect - SPEAK UP Report it through the channels. If they ignore you, leak it. (DM us; we can help) Your duty is to protect human lives 💚

Terrific

We don’t need to reform ICE. We don’t need alternatives to ICE. We don’t need to engage in dishonest debates wondering what the U.S. would do without ICE. ICE isn’t even 23 years old. Most adults know a world without ICE. And the billions used to fund ICE can be used to meet people’s basic needs.

I think the President of the US responding to a question about the murder of a journalist with "A lot of people didn't like that gentleman" is probably pretty bad.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi. I hired and worked with Jamal for a year. www.washingtonpost.com/world/nation...

#Albuquerque investing in trying to combat homelessness. More affordable housing being built (large apt complex just down the road from us, actually) and now the Gateway Center. Let's hope it really does help and we can do even more. www.cabq.gov/health-housi...

Well, when you put it like that…

Next year, Americans will see the biggest jump in health insurance costs in 15 years. Meanwhile, the seven largest health insurance companies made a combined $71B in profits in 2024. It’s far past time for Medicare for All. Here’s what you need to know.

One significant way to fix the federal deficit? Dramatically raise the minimum wage across our country. It will cause an increase in tax collections, much less people on federal assistance, and health outcomes will improve causing less reliance on federal health programs.

New Mexico's free universal child care program is a model for the nation. www.krqe.com/news/new-mex...

They know they don't have much support for the immigration raids so now Bessent blames high beef prices on immigrants and JD Vance blames the lack of affordable housing on immigrants. They're running out of ways to convince people to sign on to the cruelty.
