Here’s a disturbing video from Evanston of a federal agent hitting a man on the ground as people yell that he can’t breathe.

Sure does

anyone who boosts AI has to explain to me why this is worth it

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

Oh, some SNAP recipients are breaking the law with their benefits? Well, I have some super upsetting news for you about our entire national government.

this is insane.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

More than 47 million Americans — including one in five children — don’t have reliable, affordable access to nutritious food. And as the cost of living skyrockets, more families are depending on SNAP benefits, or food stamps, to put food on the table.

Louisiana leads the nation in maternal mortality The state's maternal morality rate is 41.9 out of 100,000 live births.

Louisiana's maternal mortality rate was 41.9 deaths per 100,000 live births, on par with Mexico (41.7) and the Seychelles (42.0). States that invest more in health coverage, reproductive care, and social protections have better health outcomes.

As the orange felon continues his destruction of the White House, the United States and democracy, he is focusing his revenge on the arts and defacing historical structures. His latest move was firing the board overseeing DC construction projects. He won’t stop until it’s all gone.

This is very true. If/when The Felon croaks, evil Criminal Johnson & the rest of the crew will continue the destruction. They're a disease that must be 100% eradicated.

The top three things Jesus was on about were feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and welcoming the stranger. Rich men have convinced so-called Christians to starve the hungry, gut health care, and deport the stranger to enrich themselves. It’s astoundingly anti-Christ.

Awww. Beautiful. Thanks for the Friday gift!

Adelita Grijalva now holds the record for longest delay between winng a special Congressional election and being sworn into office.

Why the delay from Mike Johnson?

Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

The Shiny Object Syndrome When foreign leaders realize America’s president can be swayed not by principle but by praise, not by policy but by gold, democracy itself becomes the collateral.

Great idea. Give to SNAP instead.

Survivors — and family of survivors — of Epstein and Maxwell's abuse are urging Mike Johnson to swear-in Adelita Grijalva:

"Every day you stall is another day survivors are denied justice, and the American people are denied the truth. Swear in Representative Grijalva and let democracy speak."

A timeline cleanse. Two hummingbirds taking shelter from the rain inside a rose.

Good night Bluesky.🥰

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

Speaker Johnson needs to stop being on vacation, admit that Americans need healthcare assistance, strike the draconian health cuts from the ugly budget bill, and get back to work so he can swear in Arizona's newly elected Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva.

“They think that they’re tough. They have no idea how tough we are. They think that they’re hardcore. We are so much more hardcore than they are.”

--Stephen Miller speaking to Memphis police earlier this month.

Interesting excerpt from Aaron Parnas in the linked article. The thugs are frightened.

Who needs Halloween when America is an actual horror-show?

Who are the real freeloaders?
