This week’s main story is about how you can legally wind up in prison for murder without actually killing anyone, and why Alabama’s official state motto should be a derogatory “Yep.” Full segment at the link in our bio.

An image of Tasneem and her children with the words: "I'm Tasneem, a mother of three children. I used to live a simple life, full of love despite its simplicity - but everything changed on October 7. Our home was completely destroyed, we've been displaced more than 15 times, and now we live in daily hell. My only dream is to secure a safe life for my children outside of Gaza. Any support - even just €5 - could change their future and give them a sense of safety. Help us build a new hope for them. ❤️"

Al Jazeera: "Child among killed as Israeli air raids, drones target Gaza."

Life is treacherous for the displaced, hungry civilians in Gaza. They need us now as much as ever.

Please give to my friend Tasneem so she can feed her children and raise funds to flee. And others. 💕

Speaker Johnson has literally said he's "not promising anyone anything."

For once, I believe him.

Last night, the Trump Administration sent a letter suggesting Wisconsin should return our FoodShare payments.

Nytimes screen shot. How the elections intensified the fight over the Democratic Party. Around d the US, primary candidates will decide the party’s direction on policy issues and ultimately whether it has a center left or left wing vision.

Am I the only person who thinks this is great? Like, “yes, we should have a variety of candidates in primaries. Let’s stop being afraid of what Fox News is going to say, they are going to say it anyway.”

Thou Shalt Never Again Complain About Egg Prices If You Voted For The Guy Who Canceled Food.

UPDATE: Donald Trump is so hellbent on denying people SNAP that he went all the way to the Supreme Court to block benefits.

Now Trump is trying to bully states into TAKING BACK payments they already made to families.

It’s chaos for the sake of cruelty.

RN, the money from your coffee habit goes to the quarterly profits, the shareholders, and the C-suite.

Support the workers, support the strike. Make it so they don't need tips to even survive.

The Republicans are going all the way to the Supreme Court to starve hungry children but please tell me again how the shutdown is the fault of the Democrats.

Ted Bundy was a big fan of Emperor Palpatine.

It's good he isn't alive today. Not only would he have liked The Rise Skywalker, but he'd be perfectly fine with the current US president. Prolly would be invited to the new golden palace in the east wing.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Apple’s App of the Day is our app for using apps less! A small win in an admittedly losing battle, but I’ll still celebrate it!!

I dunno if @jessecox.bsky.social and the @chilluminatipod.fm boys have seen the show "From", but highly recommended supernatural / cryptid enjoyment!

The more we hear about the Comey case, the tariff case, & lest we forget, the sandwich being thrown case, the more these asshats prove to be totally incompetent fools. That alone may save U.S.

And basically every conspiracy «theory» can be boiled down to "I don't trust the government therefore..."

I yearn for a political party where not endorsing Mamdani while praising Dick Cheney gets you automatically booted out

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.

Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.

Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.

But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

Remember this.
