This was part of the eulogy that Walter Mondale's son, Ted, read this morning at Jimmy Carter's funeral. Carter & Mondale agreed that these words summed up their work:
“We told the truth;
we obeyed the law;
we kept the peace.”
“We told the truth;

This Day in Labor History: November 27, 1937. The International Ladies Garment Workers Union (ILGWU) debuted its play “Pins and Needles,” which would become the longest running musical of the 1930s. Let's talk about this moment of labor feminism meeting popular culture!

I'm reading @arishapiro.bsky.social 's book,The Best Strangers in the World. Chap 6 is titled, War People in War Places. He discusses how we don't understand what it means to live w/war. As a ret. teacher, the 1st thing I thought of was how great this would work with older students. #sschat ##edusky

Read every word & share with everyone you know. This is real life here in Chicago. Americans need to know this grotesque reality & stand with us.
Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.
He is a computer safety researcher.
And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

Why do people buy pizza with EBT?
Because cauliflower is five dollars a head and you can buy five pizzas with the same money.
It’s not that folks don’t want to be healthy. They can’t afford to be healthy.

Trump's USDA is ordering grocery stores to follow a federal rule outlawing them from giving discounts to SNAP recipients whose benefits are currently frozen illegally.
So Trump's happy to finally follow the law as long as long as he can inflict pain and cruelty? Got it.
