Families are already hanging by a thread, but the sad truth is it’s about to get a lot worse when SNAP benefits don’t go out in November.

It’s time to find our local food banks and help out with donations and volunteer hours if you are able.

Retired Army Sgt. Brian Wofford spoke to me this morning at the Oklahoma City #NoKings protest. Didn’t expect him to be carrying his DD214 so I asked some warmup questions like when he got out and whether his injury was service-related.

He paused while describing the car bomb in Iraq to say this:

One King

ProPublica obtained records from the Department of Agriculture that detail the 94 million pounds of food, down to the number of eggs, that never reached food banks because of the #Trump administration’s cuts to The Emergency Food Assistance Program.

California is facing a crisis of connection among young men, with rising suicide rates and deepening isolation.

How Parents Hijacked the College Dorm The spaces were once furnished by scrappy kids. Then the adults entered the room.

Parents are taking over dorm-room furnishing—and, in the process, robbing their kids of an opportunity to practice independence. Meagan Francis on the era of peak dorm decor:

New— Nazis with giant swastika flags marched in downtown Indianapolis on Saturday with two police escorts. They shouted “white power” and said to the woman who took this video (reshared here with her permission) “fuck you, n***** bitch.”

Police did not intervene. I cannot find local news coverage.

Poem title: At the Intersection The poem is divided into two overlapping circles. The left-hand circle is titled ‘me’ and the text reads: the day we went out to have an ice-cream, we said nothing just let our silence melt in the air as we walked across the common our love never tiring at all The right-hand circle is titled ‘you’ and the text reads: we should have talked it over but nothing ever seems to get in your fat head. You are so common that I wish we’d never met at all and I’d married Tim instead In the intersection of the poem (where the two circles overlap), the text reads: we have nothing in common at all

The mathematician John Venn was born on this day in 1834. To commemorate the occasion, here’s a poem in the form of a Venn diagram.

There's magic at work in this new batch of books We don't just mean literary sorcery by which words summon worlds for readers, but also literal, honest-to-goodness magic: angels, conjurers, otherworldly attractions and dances of mysterious power.

This Alaska Native fishing village was trying to power their town. Then came Trump's funding cuts. Port Heiden is facing an energy crisis. A $300,000 grant from the EPA would have helped the community swap polluting diesel for cheaper, clean power.

An Alaska Native village spent $900,000 on diesel fuel (which they use for electricity) in 2024 alone. Trump canceled an EPA grant that would have helped them get a cheaper, cleaner energy source.

It starts…today???? Signed - illegally fired Fed

Tim Walz eulogizes slain lawmaker as a historic Minnesotan — and friend After a hug with Kamala Harris, Gov. Tim Walz eulogized slain state Rep. Melissa Hortman as “the most consequential speaker in Minnesota history.”

It's incredible that neither the president nor VP was here. The politicization of all facets of American life is coming from the White House. No other American president would have failed to pay their respects. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

You didn’t vote for Kamala because you thought she was a warmonger and you spread that message to others. How you all holding up tonight?

Sayed Naser served as a U.S. military interpreter in Afghanistan. Now he’s being deported.

The Taliban assassinated his brother and kidnapped his father. All because he helped us.

Why are the feds trying to deport him, even though his asylum case is still pending?

Not justice, it’s a betrayal.
