Panel 1: Superman speaks to a crowd saying “listen up folks. Call me what you want but I will never be a champion of nazism. I will not be anyone’s symbol of hate, racial prejudice and genocide!” Panel 2: Superman continues saying “I am an American. Like all Americans, I must strive to be a champion of tolerance and diversity- Justice and kindness!” Panel 3: onlookers smile as he continues saying “that’s what being an American- a human being- means!” Panel 4: Superman finishes saying “Shame on you otherwise!”

We refuse to let neighbors go hungry while politicians posture. We can stand up a street-level safety net in days. Neighborhood plan: "Block Food Steward" model One steward per block. A volunteer with a single shelf or 2-3 totes of staples who coordinates quiet, no-shame help. Starter shelf (suggested): 10 lb rice • 10 lb dry beans • 8 lb pasta 12 cans vegetables • 12 cans protein (tuna/chicken/beans) 2 large peanut butter • 2 shelf-stable milk packs • 1 cooking oil Baby formula (sealed), diapers (mixed sizes), wipes, soap, toothpaste

How it works: 1. Steward posts once to the block group: "I've got a small shelf of staples. DM 'BAG' no questions asked." 2. Keep a simple in/out tally; rotate oldest first; replace what's used. 3. If demand spikes, steward pings the block: "NEED: 6 cans, 2 pastas, diapers size 4." 4. For larger needs, handoff to a local food bank. Privacy and dignity first—no photos, no public names. Comment to volunteer: STEWARD - [Your Street Name] Comment to donate: DONOR - [Item or $ pledge] Need help? DM me the word BAG. No shame.

Volunteer at food banks this week. Show up for a 2-hour shift. Sorting, bagging, intake, there's a role for everyone. Donate smart. Shelf-stable staples first; ask for priority items before dropping off. Be kind to clerks. They didn't create this mess. They're catching the fallout. Hunger is not a negotiating tactic. Contact your state and federal reps today and demand: An immediate SNAP/WIC bridge with retroactive benefits. No more hostage-taking of basic nutrition assistance.

De-link food aid from unrelated fights. Fix the pipeline, then debate policy. No politics at the pantry door. We help first, argue later. No purity tests. If someone says they're short on food, we feed them. Dignity and privacy. DM, porch drop-offs, initials only. Safety: sealed formula only, check dates, store cool/dry, pet-safe. The Timeline? Tonight: Name stewards; seed each shelf with a starter kit. Within 48 hours: Every block has at least one steward, a group text, and a small reserve.

HOW TO ORGANIZE YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD FOR THE END OF SNAP

This is important. This came to me overnight through a group organizing in the PNW. Please consider adopting these strategies where you live. YOU WILL SAVE LIVES. SNAP runs out 11-1.

Start a block/neighborhood channel on Signal and get to work.

This is really good. Up from the Upstart cellars, a truly spooky vintage.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

The great journalists at @propublica.org did the hard work to compile a list of US citizens who have been detained by ICE.

I'm not ceding Lord of the Rings to the Nazis. Tolkien would've hated these losers (he hated them back in the day too).

A big theme in Tolkien's legendarium is a diversity of people come together and overcome the odds.

Beren and Luthien, The Fellowship, The Last Alliance of Elves and Men, etc.

Incredible news — Ruben Torres Maldonado is coming home!

The community came together and worked tirelessly to bring this father back to his family so he can be where he belongs and support his daughter in her fight against cancer.

it will be eight regular season games per team during the 2026 season.

I asked if the $300-500/game will be for every game the team plays (e.g. player is on roster) or every game the player is on the field for (in the lineup). WPBL PR: "I believe that the player is on the field but will confirm."
