Food banks were already struggling to keep with demand. Then, Trump slashed $1 billion from crucial USDA programs supporting them.

Now, thanks to his shutdown, millions of Americans in at least 25 states will lose access to food stamps on November 1st.

The perfect storm of cruelty.

Old Soviet joke:

Why do ICE agents travel in groups of three?

One can read, one can write, and the third keeps an eye on the two intellectuals
New ICE recruiting methods have resulted in half of this group of absolute winners failing AN OPEN BOOK TEST

Merkley: "What we've seen is that democracies no longer die bc men w/guns go in and take it over. Instead, it's electeds who erode the separation of power. If you have a rubber-stamp Congress & courts that deliver more power to the executive, suddenly you have an authoritarian state. It's here now."

Making a plug for The Last Wolf, v. 1 of my obscure #PNR series. It's kind of xenofiction, almost, because the world is seen through the eyes of wolves, vulnerable, wild & raw.
Don't know how long it's on sale so TYIA for any shares.

Frog and Toad stayed on the island all afternoon. They ate wet sandwiches without iced tea. They were two close friends sitting alone together.

he wanted to provide us a helpful visual metaphor for what he's doing to the country, the least we can do is run on it

and unlike other Trump scandals this doesn't require you to memorize details, you can just show people a picture of the fucking half-demolished White House
Not enough of you believe me right now, but "Rebuild The White House" is going to become one of the most popular slogans in American political history

Jesus, 34?! I hadn't heard of most of these attacks.
34 people killed in 50 days. Their guilt or innocence unknown, for an alleged crime that doesn't carry a death sentence. That's a lot of death.

Just stepped off the Senate floor after almost 23 hours.

The fight isn’t over—we need to keep standing together to resist Trump’s attempts to tighten his authoritarian grip.

My friend told me that her 14 year old son started doing laundry on Sundays for some of his elderly neighbors. He doesn't charge for the labor. And now he is the most popular person in the building and has non stop pies, cookies, and cake. The 14 year old should be our model of modern masculinity.

I don't want to know what a "Vampire Facial" is do I?
No need to use quotes when talking about Trump's authoritarian power grabs--it's simply the right adjective!
Spooky and moving story perfect for October
New story day!

"Phantom View" is about a son caretaking for his father, and discovering a blurry person in all their family photos that he has no memory of. The same figure is in all his dad's paintings--and the figure may be in the house with them right now.

Still going! @merkley.senate.gov protesting Trump's threats to democracy. There's a lot to protest.

Jeff Merkley now has the six longest Senate speech in history and he is still going strong. As we speak he’s answering a question @hassan.senate.gov just asked.

Even if you can’t actually watch, turn on some recording and have it playing in the background of whatever you’re doing.

There’s 1,000 times more chatter about the Maine senate race in a year than about Maine’s ballot measure in 3 weeks that’d bring voter ID and crack down on mail voting… maybe let’s start there??? boltsmag.org/maine-questi...

Question 1, on the November ballot, would set up a barrage of new restrictions on absentee ballots that would considerably affect older voters and people with disabilities.
