Congratulations to the Sandwich Guy! Vive la résistance! #NoKings #Andor

Here we go 👉

I threw the sandwich, but I did not throw the condiments
I threw the sandwich, but I didn't throw the condiments

BREAKING:

A federal judge finds the Trump admin "did not comply" with his order to fund SNAP benefits.

Judge John McConnell has verbally ordered the admin to *fully fund* SNAP benefits for the month of November — by tomorrow.

Please, PLEASE, I am begging you as both a parent and someone who is sick of all this THIS, go vote for your school boards. Even if you don't have kids, that's how these reactionary dipshits got their feet in, that's where the book bans and library cuts start.

A glove hand is inserting a ballot envelope into a secure ballot dropbox.

I voted, how about you? These off year elections are important for positions like school board, county council, etc. #BikeTheVote #Vote

Oh, do dive into this marvelous thing!

Have a fabulous time!

Real life monster battle. Wow.

Such good news!

This particular battle, such as it is, is joined. Doesn’t matter if you watch Kimmel or anything. The free-speech stakes are higher than one man and one program. These corporations have a stranglehold on public discourse. Time to disrupt that.

I feel your pain.
