OK blows in a lot of ways, but the sunsets, man.

I've loved Willie since I was a wee kid because my grandma loved him. I was, weirdly, a brief pageant kid, and once during a pageant when I was 5yo, I said Willie Nelson was my fave musical artist, while my coached peers said "Mozart" and "Bach." It was TRUE.

Hey MAGA, turn out the lights, the party's over. They say that all BAD things must end, because KARMA IS A BITCH.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

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.

Where are the Louvre jewels now and can France get them back? Experts warn that whilst the criminals may yet be caught, the gemstones they stole may never be recovered.

It took just 8 minutes for thieves to steal the Napoleonic-era crown jewels from the Louvre. There weren't enough cameras and the ones there were there were facing the wrong way.

Could a 50-year-old maths problem have foiled the heist?

Trump Drastically Cutting Refugee Admissions to 6 Percent of Biden Levels The administration said the lowest-ever refugee cap of 7,500 would primarily be allocated to white South Africans.

Trump’s administration officially announced that it is restricting the number of refugees for this fiscal year to 7,500, with most spots going to white South Africans. “Let’s call this what it is — white supremacy disguised as refugee policy.”

The East Wing of the White House has been demolished. Here’s a look at its history Several preservation groups have expressed concern in recent weeks about the project, which is the first major change to the exterior of the White House in 83 years.

The president needs your help! He's collecting diarrhea for his plane. He has a plane that's 99% toilet with other people's diarrhea in it and he wears a little crown when he drives it around. Brave patriots please send your loose stool to your favorite diarrhea president for his diarrhea plane.

The Trump shit video is basically this, but I will reiterate that if a Dem is critical of conservative voters it’s a generational scandal and when Republican pols literally post themselves shitting on their opposition virtually the entire elite politics and media class treats it as fine and normal

Telling moment: I was walking back from the rally, but a couple miles from it, carrying nothing but my gigantic American flag. An eight year old on his bike sees me with it and yells "No Kings!!" with absolute conviction.

My friends, they have lost the flag.
