You see that? How “far right” views are routinely re-packaged as “populist”?

I spotted this on Mastodon and I find it horrible, not least for the speed with which this has happened.

Groceries saw their biggest jump in nearly three years last month, a worrisome sign for inflation-weary shoppers. Tariffs are contributing to higher prices for imported staples like bananas and coffee.

Not only will they not fund SNAP, they are demanding no one else do it either. The level of depravity of this admin knows no bottom depth.

And….scene. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/28/u...

From North Carolina to Mississippi, Black-owned farms are filling the gaps left by SNAP funding delays

Here is another view from yesterday's walk along the Ocmulgee River in Georgia. In the South, the hardwood trees do not turn colors all at once. The color change is spread over several months. This was the most colorful patch I saw. #photography #river #autumn

Its not good enough to delete our existences at home. Our existence has to be deleted overseas too.

Now the Dutch—even the very rightwing Dutch—are tasking themselves with preserving US history our own American fascists want o erase.

Here’s a list of food banks in Chicago to assist: blockclubchicago.org/2025/11/05/h...

Capitalism doesn't seek to fill needs other than greed of CEOs & shareholders. They build it first then try to convince you (or force you) to need it. GenAI was not a need. It's still not needed. It will never be needed.

Fun fact: Musk's pay package would be equal to the cost of SNAP (i.e., helping 42 million people to buy food) for TEN YEARS.

Thank you to everyone who spoke to me for this piece. Its a harder topic to talk about than you think, scary too for some people.

Black women in America are more than twice as likely as white women to have a stillbirth. Getting physicians to take their concerns seriously is one reason for this disparity, they say: “If you’re a Black woman, you get dismissed.” (Published Dec. 2022)

Screams and bangs echoed inside Ohio’s largest youth residential treatment center. Some children rushed outside to grab rocks. A teacher ushered her students into the cafeteria for safety. Another teacher texted her mother, pleading with her to call 911: “Call them. Call mom please.”

Took a hike in a state park, screamed in nature, and the teen took some family photos for the holiday card. A good day.

Is this a thing people think? That asking WTF you are talking about when you can't string together words to actually say what you mean makes others autistic? No, friend, it makes you an inarticulate dope.

Not ICE. Border Patrol. They’re wearing Border Patrol uniforms with clear Border Patrol patches on them. There are many videos of ICE officers doing outrageous stuff but a lot of the absolute worst videos are of Border Patrol, who are basically Bovino and Miller’s most aggressive tool right now.

Chaco Canyon is a sacred landscape and the ancestral homeland of Indigenous communities from across New Mexico. This week we learned that the Department of the Interior may be rushing to revoke protections of the greater Chaco landscape to open it to oil and gas drilling.

It’s funny too because this kind of forced emotional labor is heavier on Black/brown workers *and* one of the signals to Black/brown shoppers that we’re unwelcome! (As a Black person who has worked retail and been followed in stores—too frequently—in case I “need any help”)

I am convinced people who post things like this are demons sent to torture us.

I see those "post you from another era" skeets and I'm like "I can't, there are few pics of me and fewer from the past because no digital cameras." But I found a few. Here you go:
