My GoFundMe has morphed from medical expenses when I had no insurance to, now that I'm on Medicaid, paying down the credit card debt I racked up paying for medical transport when I was in the wheelchair to my appointments and...paying for groceries.
People are using GoFundMe for groceries.

GoFundMe has 250k pages for medical bills and 40k for tuition.

Americans are fundraising for basic necessities, while the top 1% increased their wealth to $52 trillion.

This is what a rigged system designed by the wealthy looks like.

This immediately tells me they had thew wrong reporters on the story (again). i.e. The Whitehouse stenographers, not their reporters who know anything about the parks service and historical buildings.
No mention at all of the fact that Trump doesn't have the legal authority to do this, that plans haven't even been reviewed (because the office is closed for the government shutdown), that the size and cost estimates keep changing, etc., etc.
Part of White House Is Reduced to Rubble. Trump’s Ballroom Will Rise in Its Place.

The first two episodes of the revival of Reading Rainbow have nearly 500,000 views each 🤯

Do you know how cool that is for literacy, for book joy?! We are all worthy of reading, we are all readers 💚

And NOW episode three is out! Take a look, it’s in a book 📚🌈🦋

Various VTubers report TwitchCon threw out fans’ gifts from Meet & Greets

Ironmouse: “It breaks my heart to know staff threw out all the gifts. I should have known better than to trust them and taken care of everything ahead of time. I am so sorry everyone.”

Oh you're trying to say the cost of living is skyrocketing?

Donald Trump can't hear you over the sound of bulldozers demolishing a wing of the White House to build a new grand ballroom.

The Democrats need to get a hell of a lot of cameras on the White House and plaster the photos everywhere. It's not just the brazen symbol of a megalomaniac destroying national heritage; it's happening during a government shutdown when ordinary people aren't getting paid. Make every American see it.

The entire "free speech on campus" moral panic was manufactured to blackmail us into making space in intellectual life for bigots and charlatans who couldn't get there on their own merits. Its a DEI scheme for fascism. Congratulations to everyone who took it at face value.
“Following his lecture, Yarvin will debate the legendary British historian David Starkey on history and the future of conservatism.” Everything about this is so cursed. Masks off at the University of Oxford.

Which is *exactly* what some of us have saying he would do.

Oh, and he’s funneling NATO intelligence to Russia.

Trump is a Russian asset and a traitor.
"The US president tossed aside maps of the frontline in Ukraine, insisted Zelenskyy surrender the entire Donbas region to Putin, and repeatedly echoed talking points the Russian leader had made in their call a day earlier"
