Breaking: SNAP benefits are getting shut off next week for 16 million kids - including 600,000 in NC - because the USDA is refusing to use its $6b emergency fund. They’re playing shutdown politics in a way that will cause a major hunger crisis - so I’m taking them to court to stop them.

Portland — a city recognized for its civic activism, creativity, & commitment to democratic values — is now subject to an unjustified deployment of federal troops. This action undermines local authority and threatens the very freedoms our democracy is meant to protect. Full statement: bit.ly/4gODhDc

i want to see a comedy festival featuring all the people who turned down the riyadh gig on principle.

Okatsuka posted the censorship rules for the controversial comedy festival, noting how many "You can’t say anything anymore!" comedians have signed on. www.avclub.com/riyadh-comed...

Two things everybody’s missing about the Riyadh Comedy Festival.

DAVID CROSS: “I am disgusted and deeply disappointed… These are some of my HEROES… how can any of us take any of you seriously ever again?” Here’s who went to the Riyadh Comedy Festival: www.timeoutriyadh.com/news/riyadh-...

The participation of big name funnymen, including Dave Chappelle, Aziz Ansari and Kevin Hart, provoked criticism from fellow comedians and human rights groups.

It’s always interesting when politicians say hate and violence have no place in this country. It was founded on those principles.

New Census data reveals rising poverty among older adults—over 9 million seniors (15%) live in poverty, with rates higher in communities of color. These aren’t just stats; they’re our parents, grandparents, neighbors, and keepers of our culture, all deserving to age with dignity.

The National Park Service before dawn on Wednesday removed a statue titled “Best Friends Forever” of President Donald Trump and Jeffery Epstein holding hands – only a day after it was erected on the National Mall.

In addition to canceling my Disney+ subscription, I will also not throw my support to my local CBS affiliate, WNCN, FoodNetwork, CW, or the Cooking Channel. All of these are owned or partly owned by Nextstar.

Can Oprah air @jimmykimmel.com show on her channel?

I may cancel Disney+. I am going to sleep on it a few nights and then decide. If they can let ABC suspend the Jimmy Kimmel show indefinitely because of a comment about MAGA, then it may be worth canceling my subscription with them. What do you think, @abigaildisney.bsky.social? What should we do?

I stand with Jimmy Kimmel

Yesterday, Trump was threatening a reporter. Today, he coerced ABC to kick Kimmel off the air. He's also suing NYT & WSJ for reporting the truth. And it's not just media: he's threatening private companies, colleges, Congress—everyone. Enough. NONE OF US should cave. We ALL need to push back.

The good news: Last week, Governor Stein made it easier for you to get vaccinated at pharmacies (In case you missed it: governor.nc.gov/news/press-r...). The bad news: We’re not one of those pharmacies, so we have to wait a bit longer. Learn more below:

Iredell County is facing a critical juncture as the demand for services for older adults skyrockets by 35%, and the Council on Aging is calling for community support to secure essential funding. Learn more here! #IredellCounty #NC #CitizenPortal #CommunitySupport #IredellCountyOlderAdults

Note: North Carolina will cut $1.1 billion in Medicaid. This will have a profound effect on Caregivers and likely soft our workforce since many caregivers also work at least part-time.

"If they got married, the combined income would disqualify Hannah and the girls for Medicaid. And they can't afford insurance through his job. It would cost more than their mortgage."

The friend who witnessed Michael Brown’s death was shot and killed Sunday morning less than a mile away from where a police officer killed Brown.

This is so messed up. Worse than messed up. I don't even have the words for how upsetting this is. How do you trust the government, if you ever did, after finding this out. youtu.be/upYvUe6hWEk?...

@nealkatyal.bsky.social: “You’ve got the president who's imposed the largest tax increase on American consumers since 1993 … and he did it without Congress saying one word. That is not our constitutional structure.”

Also, @msnbc.com needs to issue an apology to @mayorofchicago.bsky.social for that Joe Scarborough interview.

Today's episode of @nativelandpod.bsky.social had me in my feelings. They expressed the way I have been feeling.

A checking account shouldn’t cost a week’s worth of groceries. Yet hidden fees hit too many families, draining money needed for rent, childcare, or gas. With our partners at The Collaborative, we’re connecting communities to supports that build real stability. Read more mdcinc.org/2025/08/22/o...

If your loved one has REM sleep disturbance, especially if they have trouble falling asleep, I recommend binaural beats for sleep (find on YouTube or a music app) and a sleep mask. #LewyBodyDementia

If this is true, then @thehill.com needs to make a statement. They were clearly wrong (and biased).

Walmart spent $35.3B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024, enough to give each of its 2.2M employees annual bonuses of $2,719. Last year, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay of just $29,469. Textbook corporate greed.
