I stand with unionized Starbucks workers, who are on strike across the country right now for better wages and working conditions.

Until Starbucks strikes a fair bargain with its workers and ceases its union-busting behavior, I'll continue to boycott the company.

If Kemp’s not willing to use GA’s 14.6 billion surplus (9 bil is undesignated and 5.6 bil is a rainy day fund) to help fund SNAP, what the hell is he going to use it for?? I can’t think of anything more important than keeping people from starving.

Several questions unanswered in Georgia response to SNAP funding lapse
Gov. Brian Kemp has signaled the state won't be dipping into surplus funds to fill SNAP gaps.

@mcuban.bsky.social tells us caving to government censorship means what airs on broadcast TV will suffer, hurting them in ways they don’t yet realize.

The Trump admin dumped half a dozen men with serious criminal records in the Kingdom of Eswatini, where they are being jailed indefinitely despite all having finished serving criminal sentences in the United States. It’s a disturbing situation.

Over a quarter of all homes sold in the first three months of 2025 were bought by real estate investors.

If we want to make housing affordable again, we must get Wall Street out of our homes. https://youtu.be/q9TOGxDJ0TE?feature=shared

My Threads account was suspended. I have no idea why though. Community standards. Wuh? I do not use cuss words there (maybe a damn or hell) or ♥️ comments that wish ill on anyone. So frustrating. Hope to rebuild here.

The argument against regulation is always the same: “It stifles growth and jobs.”

But just as tax cuts for corporations have not trickled down, regulatory cuts have not benefited most people.

Big companies enjoy bigger profits. Working people bear the costs.

Pony Up by Joan Baez
"Insist you need a real answer until you get one..."
#MorningVibe

Joan Baez, the legendary songwriter, hadn't sat down to deliberately write poems in many years.

"Lining up words into sentences that attempt to make sense of the chaos is my bulwark against a creeping feeling of despondency."

Be inspired.

Karl: The transformation has been gradual and unmistakable.

By February, some golden urns on the mantle.

April, gold adornments appear on the walls.

By July, it's gold everywhere.

Just this week more scaffolding popped up, even more new gold trim appeared.

The Trump administration quietly slashed federal funding for gun violence prevention, even as shootings surged. It should be immediately reinstated.

Instead of surrendering to the gun lobby, Congress should pass the assault weapons ban now.
Exclusive: Trump administration slashed federal funding for gun violence prevention
The Trump administration has terminated more than half of all federal funding for gun violence prevention programs in the U.S., cutting $158 million in grants that had been directed to groups in cities like New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Washington, DC, and Baltimore.

They have downgraded her sex offender status to move her to a minimum security facility. The next logical step is a commutation or a pardon. If you have any information on that, my Signal is in my bio. I'll keep you anonymous as always. Please share widely 🙏 www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...
EXCLUSIVE: Someone Waived Ghislaine Maxwell's Sex Offender Status to Move Her to a Minimum Security Camp in Texas
According to sources, you can't move someone with a Public Safety Factor (PSF) designation - which Maxwell had - without waiving it. That's what happened here.

The budget increase for ice is massive.
I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Then, who was it?
Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium.

ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.
