Ahead of the 1st shutdown of US food aid to hungry Americans in 60 years, some of the 200,000 Little Free Library locations are converting into food pantries. Thanks @littlefreelibrary.bsky.social

Chicago cyclists bought out all street vendors so they could go home and be safe from ICE. The cyclists then distributed the food among those in need throughout the city.

REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): “If this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

Our government has failed us. Charities are being SLAMMED. If you can swing it, your neighbors need you. Please consider giving to or volunteering for:

* Your local food bank

* A local church's food pantry

* Local woman's or LGBTQIA shelter

* Neighborhood Little Library converted to food pantry

If King Charles has enough evidence of wrongdoing to strip his brother of all titles and evict him from his family's property, how bad must those Epstein Files be for all those other filthy, raping cunts in power in the US?

Just when I think Pete Hegseth is the worst person in the Trump administration, Kristi Noem says something, and I change my mind, then Pam Bondi says something, then JD Vance says something, then Stephen Miller says something, but then Donald Trump says something. Contest over.

There's going to be a lot of Republicans shitting on people for being on SNAP while secretly starving because they themselves are on snap.

The coordinated boycott of Target has worked well so far. I absolutely agree with you there. I think it will probably take several different efforts. For example, I'm not likely to do the protests (like No Kings) but I will do economic boycotts and other community-based activities.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

another point: grocery stores operate on razor-thin profit margins, so what happens when they suddenly lose the revenue they get from SNAP? (they close)

He is, instead, a 59-year-old Long Island wine importer named Bill DeBlasio, who merely responded to an email from a journalist seeking his views on Democrat Zohran Mamdani’s policies.

“I’m Bill DeBlasio. I’ve always been Bill DeBlasio,” DeBlasio said in an interview conducted Wednesday evening through his Ring doorbell in Huntington Station, Long Island, from his current location in Florida.

“I never once said I was the mayor. He never addressed me as the mayor,” DeBlasio told Semafor Wednesday evening. “So I just gave him my opinion.”

I think a lot about the chance we had at the start of COVID to finally become a more compassionate, collectivist nation, and how profoundly we were failed not only by the sociopathic greed of the ruling class but by each other.

It doesn’t mean we won’t get there, but the lost opportunity haunts me.

Jonathan Cohn @jonathancohn.bsky.social · 1d

Remember how just a few years ago during the worst of the pandemic when we saw how the govt can actually do big things and saw that our collective health & well-being are intertwined, and then corporations got mad that they lost a modicum of power and helped fund a backlash of amnesia and fascism?

“It claims the US would have blamed Venezuela for the attack on the USS Gravely, a guided-missile destroyer, to justify aggression against it.”

This seems familiar

US accused of plotting false-flag operation to frame Venezuela

Venezuela says it has thwarted what it calls a CIA-linked plot to attack a US warship anchored in Trinidad.
