A skinny and sober couple came into Burger King and asked if i would buy them food. I said yes. They ordered two meals and ate it all, said thank you and left. I may be gullible or not but it cost $14 to maybe help somebody. Thoughts?

Hello! I wanted to share a cause that’s really important. Lauren, who is disabled, is struggling to keep her home and care for her cat Ziggy, and she’s running out of options. Every little bit helps, so if you can donate or share her GoFundMe, it would mean a lot. Thank you! gofund.me/9f8703537

🕯️ To honor International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we’re sharing 24 diverse titles that explore the history of the Holocaust — from stories about famous historical figures to personal family histories and beyond.

Wait, we needed a study to know that?

We just saw this, and it’s a good idea for businesses to post. Private businesses are allowed to set dress and conduct rules. Requiring no full face coverings has long been standard for safety and loss prevention reasons, and it is within a business’s rights to refuse entry or service.

Dear dentists. You are all up in patients faces. Please wear n95 masks. Hygienists, you too. We’re vulnerable. Respiratory illnesses are spreading like wild-fire, but we still have to protect our oral health. Don’t be snarky when a potential patient says their fam is vulnerable. Girl, bye.

I was just thinking about contributing to the "charity" Feeding America. Until I discovered that the salary for its CEO, Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, was approximately $949,866 in 2024, with her total compensation being $1,113,502. Apparently, feeding America isn't her top priority.

I went to my Congressman's local office today. First off, they were surprised that I was there. They said they had been getting phone calls, but I was the first walk-in. That said, the phones were not ringing off the hook. If the DC phone lines are busy, try calling the local office.

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out. This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

Beginning with the 1st term of #notmypresident, I have been involved in book projects that have celebrated the border and the important role immigrants play in our communities. All of them push back against the doubt, fear and hate that are weaponized by those craving power. Let me share them. 1/

This probably seems grim, but given recent events, it might be a good idea to publicly display a declaration of life, especially if you fall into one of the target demographics Take mine or make your own:
