I say his gently, but…
There’s something unspeakably shameful The United States letting people go hungry.
Not because its government doesn’t fix it —
but because tomorrow a few private Americans could, and never notice the cost.
That’s the part that sits wrong.

Hey! Remember when Barr (Bondi) withheld the Mueller (Epstein) documents for weeks so he (she) could mischaracterize what was in the Mueller (Epstein) Report and spin the findings for three weeks and then over-redact them? I sure do!

DOJ broke the law today by refusing to produce all the Epstein files. It also broke the law by redacting information other than to protect victims. Yet, the corporate media is acting that DOJ did us a huge favor.

The FBI put a thousand agents (their own words) on trying to hide all the links between Trump and Epstein. They failed. When people found some additional photos of Trump in the release, the DOJ promptly DELETED THEM FROM THE DOCUMENT RELEASE.

Available to download Friday, some Epstein files no longer there Saturday afternoon
An NPR analysis of the Epstein files shows some documents, originally available on Friday, are no longer on the Department of Justice's "Epstein Library" website as the DOJ releases more files.

Jesse Hamm had the take to end all takes on children's media. "People who disdain writing ‘just for children’ fail to realize that those children will remember what they read, maybe for the rest of their lives. You’re not writing for permanent children; you’re getting an early start on adults.”

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

Thanksgiving is almost upon us.
Remember:
You do not have to justify your life choices to family.
You have every right to call out bigotry.
Family doesn't mean taking bullshit silently.
What matters is you ate safe, healthy, and happy. Everyone else's expectations do not apply.

An important read! You're hit the nail on the head, @felineforger.bsky.social!
I feel like some corporations are just too damned big. Take Disney, for example. Look at the number of holdings, acquisitions, and subsidiaries. It has gobbled up broadcasting, comics, streaming, anything it can add to its portfolio to net more profit. And sure, diversification is healthy. 1/5

For an introvert, the real gift is finding someone whose presence feels calming instead of draining. Some people make you feel light and safe, while others drain your energy within minutes. Time with the right person feels effortless, with the wrong person it feels like a marathon
