Reagan vs. Air Traffic Controllers | Miller Center Behind the scenes of how President Reagan handled the 1981 air traffic controllers strike

It would create a tidy narrative arc if the American conservative movement’s first President opened his term by fucking over air traffic controllers, and then its last President tanked his career by fucking over air traffic controllers. millercenter.org/reagan-vs-ai...

Not to brag or anything, but I didn’t vote for this.

Yeesh. Someone call a medic.

These people are absolute CLOWNS.

This is the facility where masked thugs put our neighbors, friends, and community members after they snatch them off the street. Please note that they are doing this to long-term residents, too. This is not targeted at criminals. They are grabbing tamale vendors, landscapers, preschool teachers.

As the federal shutdown drags on, viral AI videos are being created, depicting mostly Black women aggressively lamenting the loss of SNAP benefits. These posts revive the racist “welfare queens” caricature and perpetuate misconceptions about who the average SNAP recipient is. https://bit.ly/3JzpDHV

I live in a very small town and I know what keeps small town grocery stores open:

SNAP.

Hundreds of thousands of people, dead because of a decision made by the world's richest man

Think of the quote in the photo below as you listen to this young man.

No it’s important to listen to this. Because then you understand that many of them will do ANYTHING to keep power. Remember Musk got involved in the 2024 election after saying to Tucker “if she wins” I am definitely going to prison.

So we need to move knowing that nothing is off the table for them.

A woman ruined my workplace

How NYC Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani owes his life to this Denzel Washington film If it wasn’t for a Denzel Washington movie, New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani would never have been born.

I was today years old when I learned that Zohran Mamdani's mom is Mira Nair who has directed many great movies including her fabulous debut "Mississippi Masala" with a young Denzel Washington. The movie led to Zohran'd birth in fact! (Gift article).

BYE BITCH

It's difficult to sum up the abject chaos Trump has caused by using people's ability to eat as a bargaining chip. Communication re: SNAP varies widely state by state, and it's wonderful to hear some have gotten November benefits, but many, many millions still haven't. This was totally avoidable.

NEWS — The Oregon Department of Human Services has issued 100% of November SNAP benefits, per an alert on their website. I've received reports that the funds have already hit recipients' EBT accounts.
