My son Sam was diagnosed in 2024, at 26, with a fast-progressing form of ALS. He already can no longer talk, walk, or do anything for himself. We have set up a Go Fund Me to help with our many expenses. If you can donate or share his story, we would be grateful.

The prosecution of Tish James is the product of a broken system that allows lawless billionaires to rule alongside corrupt politicians.

It’s as much a story of New York City as Washington, D.C.

But it's here in New York where a new era of politics will be born.

If you’re in El Paso, home to Ft. Bliss and Biggs Field, and need food assistance, the Mustard Seed Cafe (where I volunteered) provides hot fresh food Wed-Friday. No questions asked. It’s main purpose was providing meals in a restaurant and dignified setting for unhoused, but is now for all… free.

It’s heartbreaking that the richest country in the world needs food banks to feed its people but it’s unbelievable that our billionaire politicians have forced our military to feed themselves and their families from food banks.

$47. And that’s if the government isn’t lying about the interest rate. Plus, they will have to prove she intentionally schemed to swindle $47 from the bank - as opposed to just not knowing the difference between a second home and an investment property. Good luck, Lindsay.

They are keeping congress out of office until October 20. No Kings is October 18. I believe they are gearing up to declare insurrection act and martial law, taking away our right to assemble. I hope I’m wrong. 😑

Fuck the Wannabe #Fascist #Dictator #Trump and #ICE 8647
Fight #TACO on every front. 24/7/365 FILM ~ FILM ~ FILM

In this image, a woman stands on a sidewalk holding a white poster board with a powerful message written in bold, colorful letters. The sign reads, "WE THE PEOPLE WILL NOT BE SILENCED!" with "WE THE PEOPLE" in red and blue letters, and the rest in blue, punctuated by three red stars on the top right. The sign’s design, reminiscent of patriotic themes, evokes the spirit of democracy and collective voice, highlighting the theme of protest or civic action.

The woman is gazing forward with a serious, determined expression, underscoring her commitment to the cause she supports. Another woman is partially visible behind her, also holding a sign, suggesting a small gathering or protest along this quiet street in what appears to be a residential neighborhood. The American flag patterns on the woman's sleeves further emphasize the patriotic undertone of their message.

Overall, the image captures a moment of grassroots activism, where ordinary citizens are expressing their right to speak out. The slogan itself calls back to foundational democratic principles ("We the People" is famously from the U.S. Constitution preamble), reinforcing the idea that freedom of speech and civic participation are not to be suppressed. The quiet neighborhood setting juxtaposes with the boldness of their message, illustrating how public protest often takes place in everyday spaces.
