This is important. Food banks can bulk buy, and stretch that money further than you can. They also know what they actually need. Money is better!

I know I keep repeating myself on this, but it is absolutely *essential* that we elect Democrats who will ensure that these people do end up in The Hague, and not living out comfortable retirements somewhere.

The Trump Admin is trying to disappear almost 200 more people to El Salvador. This is a violation of due process. If we let Trump get away with disappearing immigrants under the Alien Enemies Act, there is nothing stopping him from disappearing U.S. citizens next. (1/2)

What if Elon is the first autistic person RFK has ever actually met and that’s why he assumes we don’t pay taxes or go on dates

this is such good news. i think it is also an opportunity for democrats to state forthrightly that when they win power again everyone responsible for this crime will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law and will face the american people to answer for their lawlessness

If you’re a praying person, please pray for my grandma. She’s having surgery tomorrow and said if she dies we still need to have our easter potluck and egg hunt for the kids on Sunday. She is 95 years old, still lives alone, and is loveliest most genuine person I’ve ever had the privilege to know.

Anyway this meltdown is brought to you by food bank funding freezes, so instead of giving seniors on fixed incomes a bunch of fresh produce and milk and cheese and eggs and even some cookies, this month I get to say here is a bag of grapes and a handful of bell peppers hope it helps good luck

Literally everyone deserves better than this, except everyone voluntarily involved in the Trump administration, and I hope they all………….something. How do you look at billions of dollars and infinite power at your disposal and choose cruelty.

I was raised religiously, extensively so, and while I am not religious in adulthood, the thing that held true and always felt so so so true, is that I owe my energies to the world at large. I used to pray to god in desperation, that I did not understand or feel what anyone else apparently felt,

As a born, baptized, raised, confirmed catholic who received a BA from a catholic university, I have to wonder why the fuck JDVance converted to a religion that, at its core, says that your admission into heaven is based on works, not faith.

You say this thing is bad. I say, how dare you. How. Dare. You. While you claim this thing is bad, this other thing, which I just made up and is not real, is worse. I cannot believe your callousness in disregarding my made up thing. —every J.D. Vance response

Trans people are good and the state doesn't have the right to tell you what your gender is

People who commit crimes don’t deserve to be shipped to offshore torture prisons either, let’s start there

I know everyone says you should take care of yourself in the midst of all of this, but nothing feels more sillier than trying to find ways to reduce stress for my insomnia while literal fascism is taking over the country

it causes me such pain to see snooty liberals respond to a story about a horrific, incurable, fatal occupational disease like black lung with “but how did they vote????” as if that fucking matters

Having trouble with the whole gaslighting-myself-into-believing-things-are-okay-enough to survive the day thing today

wishing a belated Brian’s Hat Day to all who celebrated over the weekend:

Another question, other than the obvious wage slavery of it all, is... why? Why do we need them mining and refining materials? They'll say it's so they can make the "AI revolution" go faster, but to what end? Why is any of this happening? None of this needs to or should happen.

I went to DC with my masters program in 2018 and nearly got removed from the Senate balcony because of my barking skeptical laugh when Mitch McConnell said something completely fucking stupid in the FOSTA/SESTA convo. Promised I’d keep it to facial expressions only.

The ideas around “neutrality” and “bias” have done so much damage in the mainstream media. These ideas only work in one direction—against the left—and result in people in the industry who personally identify as left-leaning overcompensating and doing the right’s work for them

What if I started screaming and I never ever ever ever ever stopped

The anti-trans movement is welfare for losers.

I was so short and rude and unkind today and I feel rotten about it. That’s not who I want to be.

It shouldn't have to devastate you personally to care about it. You should be able to look at someone else's pain and go "that's terrible, I wouldn't want that for myself, we should do something about that." Like. This is kindergarten shit.

Everyday when I feel I cannot take much more, I think: At the end of this, whenever that comes— my soul will be weary, but at least I will not have sold it to the highest bidder.

JC Penney employs more Americans than the coal industry! I’m sick of the obsession!
