I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: if you see someone stealing food at the supermarket, no you didn’t.

SNAP not funded thru November folks best get ready to witness raids on supermarkets huge bread lines and overflowing soup kitchens good time to read up on the Unemployed People's Movement in the 30s, I wrote about it in chapter 5 of my book: theanarchistlibrary.org/library/vick...

My two brown tabby cats are sitting butt-to-butt on a green blanket laid over the back of a couch. They are looking out the window to my front yard where a maple tree’s leaves have started to turn gold and red.

I've never had curry or a kabab and don't intend to.
British food is the best. English breakfasts, Sunday roasts, fish and chips, pies, pasties, scones.
Also, our national dish isn't a chicken tikka masala we only think that because a Labour MP said it decades ago to push multiculturalism.

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

Just a friendly reminder that universal handcuffs keys are a) legal to own basically everywhere, b) very easy to conceal, and c) available on a number of online stores.

The funniest part of all the billionaires are building bunker stories is the part where they’re sure the class hierarchy will survive the apocalypse.

"I once met a former bodyguard of one billionaire with his own "bunker", who told me his security team's first priority, if this really did happen, would be to eliminate said boss and get in the bunker themselves. And he didn't seem to be joking."

Tech billionaires seem to be doom prepping. Should we be worried?

Highly, highly recommend the cosmic crisp. It is one of [very] few things in recent memory that live up to the hype. What some say they lack in an original, incredible flavor is easily made up for in consistency of taste and texture, low price, and a truly unbelievable shelf life.

Sophie Sherry @sophiesherry.bsky.social · 9d

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

To be fair they probably just took the money from the massive fund for protecting officers who commit heinous crimes, that they raise from gullible old people by hiring broke college students at minimum wage to staff roach-infested call centers.

Dire as the stakes are, leaning into absurdist and lighthearted forms of protest seems like a great way to puncture the fantasy Trump & co are spinning to attempt to rationalize a violent crackdown.

As the administration goes all in on an alternate reality about portland that bears no resemblance to fact and rule of law, continuing radical (and just plain funny, ridiculing) acts of the imagination along with other ways of getting out the reality on the ground may help curb their momentum.

The vast majority of the country has no idea how out of control ICE is right now. Yes, there's reporting on ICE raids and protests, but most people are not seeing photos and videos of horrific incidents like this, or the apartment building raid.

If most people did know they'd be horrified.
