Authoritarianism comes fast, Governor J. B. Pritzker told @markleibovich.bsky.social. “And if you’re not willing to stand up and push back while it’s happening in the early days,” Pritzker added, “it gets a lot harder later.” https://theatln.tc/DR3tXJ6E

Over 71 million Americans are paid less than a living wage, and are forced into social safety nets like SNAP.

If you think too many people are receiving SNAP benefits, don’t shame them.

Shame their employers paying them poverty wages and forcing taxpayers to subsidize the rest.

What I’m learning about baseball is it’s a series of 1000 individual decisions and each one that doesn’t work is the worst decision ever that costs your team the game unless it works out in which case it’s genius.

Shortly before the shutdown, the USDA moved to scrap the Household Food Security Report, the nation’s primary tool for tracking food insecurity, and in doing so, stripped away the very infrastructure needed to remedy rising hunger in America.
The shutdown will worsen hunger—which the Trump administration just stopped tracking

This man must have been on the Omni ICE flight I tracked over the weekend. Meaning he spent more than 40 hours onboard shackled at the wrists and ankles attached to a waist chain before being dropped off in a country he doesn’t appear to have ever been to.

This is such a non-issue! "Father's cousin" is a lot of syllables and if that's a person you see often since childhood, of course you're going to call them auntie.

There's a dogwhistle here too, of course.
In a bit of a tense moment, one of the La Mega co-hosts presses Mamdani on why he "lied" about his "aunt" having been scared to ride the subway after 9/11 while wearing a hijab.

Mamdani says it was "not a lie" because he refers to his father's cousin as his "aunt."
