Here’s an idea and you want to help people in you area, turn your itty bitty book library 📚 into a tiny food pantry.

Again, please repost.

my favorite thing is when some smug millenial pseudointellectial is like "what's up with this" and an actual expert is like well since you asked

“The U.S. has now murdered 57 civilians in attacks on 14 civilian boats,” said the UN Special Rapporteur for the protection of human rights. “A systematic attack on civilians is a crime against humanity under international law. When will other governments speak out?”

Reminder that this was already known by black people - that the specific organization was taking advantage of the movement. BLM goes so far beyond a singular organization willing to spit on its namesake

Ahead of the 1st shutdown of US food aid to hungry Americans in 60 years, some of the 200,000 Little Free Library locations are converting into food pantries. Thanks @littlefreelibrary.bsky.social

Early planning documents reviewed by WIRED describe a statewide transport grid designed for steady detainee transfers across Texas, with ICE estimating each trip to average 100 miles. Every county would have its own small, around-the-clock team of contractors collecting immigrants from local authorities deputized by ICE. It is a subtle transfer of the physical custody process into the hands of a private security firm—authorized to carry firearms and perform transport duties “in any and all local, county, state, and ICE locations.”

NEW: ICE is planning to build a shadow deportation network in Texas. A proposal outlines a 24/7 transport operation run by armed contractors—turning Texas into the logistical backbone of an industrialized deportation machine.

For every $1 in benefits fraud, agencies spend $3.72 trying to detect it, based on the unproven assumption that means-testing lowers the rate of fraud. But there's evidence to indicate that trusting people to self-report what they need would be cheaper overall, even factoring in fraud/abuse.

Rich people are assuming they'll simply be able to circumvent any issues it'll cause. Dubai has regularly been cloud seeding since 2010 and they assume they can just keep that up for themselves

Trump getting a 3rd term will be the final nail in America’s coffin, whether he gets it or not. Because the fact that journalists are already problem solving how to make it a reality, trying to normalize it ahead of the attempt, is insidious collaboration with fascism.

If you don’t have turkey and toy money, don’t buy turkey and toys. There’s no shame in prioritizing a roof over your head and hot food in your belly.

If you don’t have new dress money for a holiday party fvck that too. 🤷🏾‍♀️

The next 3 years are about making it through this demon’s term.

Period.

When I say you better prepare for the worst and hope for the best…l mean it 100%.

If you haven’t done so, have the tough conversations with your kids and others. Get that out of the way and then you don’t have to feel pressured.

That thing has shut the government down 3 times. He’ll do it again🤷🏾‍♀️

make it a point to catch up and immediately start working towards stashing a month of everything.

Now is not the time for can’t. Now is the time to figure out some things and if need be lean on your network.

This economy we’re in is the kind of economy where even those that can spend, won’t.

#StayReadyCrew
I’m going to say this for the umpteenth time…

IDC when the government reopens. Folks better start preparing like their lives depend on it…BECAUSE IT PROBABLY DOES.

That orange demon doesn’t care about anyone and there isn’t a single elected republican MOC with a spine.

ooh an email titled Important information about your subscription, I wonder if the price is going down

I need people to understand that we cannot rely on social change alone. We need anti-discrimination laws. We need legal protections for bodily autonomy and reproductive rights codified into laws.

Stop trying to redeem bigots and work on protecting the most vulnerable people in society first.

Was that Matthew's voice closing the trailer? Bringing him back and not having Samantha is wild work.

I'm missing Melissa but I know that's not going to happen, she deserves better anyhow.

Also, ultimately I do miss the campiness of the original, even the 6-7 had a bit of goofiness to it

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

Woah, the major update for Animal Crossing 🥺

Peace keeping eh?

This was just posted by a CBS News producer on their Instagram stories.

I saw a TikTok saying how we don't talk about how our parents are our first bullies and it's manifesting today lol

It's all a supplement for the lack of power they hold in their day to day. They've been told being a man means being able to reign over their domain and that lack of control manifests in whatever this nonsense is.
