Pro tip: Do the Miralax prep with coconut water and a spritz (no pulp) of fresh lime. Start drinking at noon the day before, not the later "we're pretending you're going to work today" time they suggest.

That way, you'll be done with the purge in time to actually sleep.

As ICE Street Raids Ramp Up, New Yorkers Stock Up On Whistles Taking a cue from Chicago, community groups have distributed thousands of whistles in recent weeks β€” a grassroots system people in other cities have adopted to help neighbors sound the alarm.

β€œShort bursts indicate an ICE sighting. Long whistles indicate agents making arrests. If you hear the whistle and you’re undocumented, said [Whitney Hu, a community activist and organizer with South Brooklyn Mutual Aid], β€˜you hide. And if you’re somebody who’s not, you go to the street.’”

The reason why most women my age couldn't care less if Bill Clinton goes down with the ship is that we were teens & young women when the Anita Hill and Monica Lewinsky scandals happened. It's rotten to the core. All the way down. Your "lost" era is not ours.

The "jokes" and general callousness in response to the Epst*in emails just affirms my belief that the gulf between survivors of sexual violence and those who aren't / or otherwise do not recognize their experiences as violent is WIDE.

I’m sorry, what?! If there was even a chance something I was producing and distributing could kill babies - which are, to be clear, the stakes here - I cannot imagine *fighting back against public health officials to keep doing it*

JD Vance owns a company that buys American real estate and sells it to foreign investors. They specifically target Americans in crisis to buy their property for less than it is worth.

Millionaire Tax That Inspired Mamdani Fuels $5.7 Billion Haul in Massachusetts A millionaire levy in Massachusetts that New York City mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani holds up as a model for taxing the rich has generated $3 billion more in revenue than expected without forcing...

NEW: The first two years of Massachusetts' millionaire tax has raised $3 billion more than expected.

And rather than driving the rich away, IPS researchers found that the number of millionaires has *increased.*

Apparently ICE agents are now removing the license plates from their cars.

Which is what the boogaloo boys and the proud boys did during the uprisings in 2020 here in Minneapolis

I have to hand it to Democrats. I'm one of the feds working and not getting paid and they manage to make reopening the government feel worse than the alternative.

Like, why did I miss 2.5 paychecks to end up right back where we were before the shutdown started?

More than 10,000 flights delayed in worst day of disruptions since shutdown More than 2,800 flights were canceled Sunday, while Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy said the shutdown’s impact on airports is β€œonly going to get worse.”

This and the airline industry lobbyists are what did it. Not Americans starving and paying twice as much for healthcare.

I post this every year but now that holiday ads are out I’ll say it again: teenagers are often forgotten in Toys For Tots drives. These hygiene and beauty kits go on sale every holiday and make fantastic donations to toy drives. Sports equipment is great too!

Fedora man unmasked: Meet the teen behind the Louvre mystery photo Fifteen-year-old Pedro Elias Garzon Delvaux has become an internet sensation after an Associated Press photo captured him outside the Louvre on the day of a crown jewels heist.

if you are food insecure for both the humans and pets in your household there is a tool called Pet Help Finder that can help locate pet food banks nearby and other free or reduced price assistance and supplies for pets.
no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, should have to give up their pet bc of this.

Folks, if you are hungry, please contact your local Sikh gurdwara. Or just show up for langar, which most gurdwaras do several times a week, for a free meal. Lots also do weekly or monthly drives giving out groceries.

No conversion necessary. Feeding anyone who is hungry is a key part of Sikhism.
