there are going to be a lot of stories in the next couple weeks about the generosity of ordinary people in helping their fellow Americans and all of them will be wonderful and none of them should be necessary we don’t have to have a government this cruel and capricious

For those of you who are shrugging and saying “I don’t live in Nevada” I’ll remind you that we have a President talking to the military about going to war with American cities.

Apropos of nothing at all, I'm thinking about how some of my baby cousins throw a tantrum when they're disciplined for misbehavior. Their response to hearing they've misbehaved and they have to be punished is ”No, YOU did something wrong, and YOU should be punished." Apropos of nothing at all.

In a major break from the past, the Supreme Court is frequently using its emergency docket to rule on challenges to government actions — almost always in favor of the Trump administration and without explanation.

I wish they said explicitly that there's $5 billion in emergency reserves they're refusing to use instead they're happy to let people - mostly children, the disabled, and elderly, starve.

Good morning everyone. It's me again here to ask NYC residents to please send a letter to your City Council person in support of allocating 0.5% of the city expense budget to our local public libraries. Thank you. It will only take you 90 seconds. This time with the correct link:

What has happened to US economic momentum since the government quit releasing econ reports on Oct. 1st? A good proxy for US economic surprises may be the relative performance of S&P cyclical sectors. Cyclicals have continued underperforming badly since Oct 1! See

If you are looking to support federal employees, one good place to donate to is the Federal Employee Education & Assistance Fund. They are providing shutdown grants for federal employees that would be making less than $60k.

Trump recently signed an executive order declaring antifa a domestic "terrorist organization." The declaration may be absurd, but Trump's endgame is clear: to allow the government to label everyday citizens as terrorist threats in order to suppress protests and silence opposition.

My favorite thing about media coverage about Zohran Mamdani is when they talk about his platform, and then comment how extreme his beliefs are. Meanwhile, I'm sitting there nodding my head. Y'all, I am an old middle class Black Lady. You really want to try to convince me I'm a crazed radical?

I just saw a tiktok complaining about an angry Black woman on the train. Please, shut the entire fuck up. Existing as a conscious Black woman in this place and this time means that I have the right to be a simmering cauldron of rage MOST OF THE TIME. And yet, I manage to keep it to maybe 25%.

The Regime's goal is to grind everyone down. Plain & simple. Our goal is to refuse this by taking turns to fight where and how we can. When one group needs to bow out, then another group needs to step in and so on. We don't all have to do everything. We can all do something though. Stay in the fight

That’s because Cuomo’s entire narrative has been fear-based. Ten years ago, I would have told folks I was training that it was hard, if not impossible, to put together a winning coalition with that strategy.

A few thoughts about everything going on: * They intend for the "fire hose effect" to sap your energy. Take care of yourself and decide what you can do. * They intend to baffle you with bullshit. If you stop believing in anything, it's easier for them to control the narrative. Be discerning. 1/2

ICE left David, a 17-year-old boy, stranded on the side of Interstate 20 after pulling over his immigrant father, Hector, in Mississippi. David began running in the scorching sun after the car and watched as it disappeared from sight—soon headed to a Louisiana ICE prison. Here's their story.
