A great thread showing public servants actually serving the public during the looming food crisis.

There should be more people looking at how these local leaders are reaching out and serving their communities.

Here's a great list of NYC area resources bsky.app/profile/urba...

DON'T donate to Goodwill, or Salvation Army or other "big" stores like that.

They're nearly all FOR PROFIT and have been jacking up the prices in the last couple of weeks.

Some folks asked where they can find their local food banks and pantries, so let's share some!

Feedingamerica.org is a great place to start!

Y’all if you’re going to the game tomorrow, be extra nice to stadium workers, the vast majority of whom stood the entire time.

2nd Longest Shutdown In History
Chump,and You Still Own The
Record For Longest at 35 Days.
RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

The president had a MRI but won't say why.

He had bruises on his hands but wouldn't say why.

He just had an 'annual medical' even though he already had his annual medical.

He got shot in the ear but has never released the medical records relating to it.

How is any of this ok?

The question on everyone’s mind is will Trump love long enough to see his dream come to fruition? He keeps going to Walter Reed for “routine MRIs” while we all watch him decompensate.

Evan @daviddunn177 This is Katie Johnson. She's one of Donald Trump & Jeffrey Epstein's victims. "I understood that both Mr. Trump and Mr. Epstein knew I was 13 years old. Defendant Trump had sexual contact with me at four different parties in the summer of 1994. On the fourth and final sexual encounter with Defendant Trump tied me to a bed, exposed himself to me and then proceeded to forcibly rape me. During the course of this savage sexual attack, I loudly pleaded with Defendant Trump to stop but he did not. Defendant Trump responded to my pleas by violently striking me in the face with his open hand and screaming that he would do whatever he wanted. Immediately following this rape, Defendant Trump threatened me that, were I ever to reveal any of the details of Defendant Trump's sexual and physical abuse of me, my family and I would be physically harmed if not killed."

A picture of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein talking and another image of a young girl to the left of their photo. Above is the following text: "KATIE JOHNSON WAS TIED TO THE BED BY DONALD TRUMP WHO THEN PROCEEDED TO FORCIBLY RAPE HER." - Sworn affidavit of Epstein victim Katie Johnson. This incident was CONFIRMED by Katie's Handler 'Tiffany Doe' in her sworn affidavit. Katie was a 13 year old virgin when she met Trump.

Here’s an #AltText version of the two images.

Worst case: They’re keeping the gov closed to see if people get desperate enough to get violent, likely to start in urban areas. This gives Trump the excuse he’s been looking for to invoke the insurrection act, deploy troops, declare martial law, and keep looting the treasury.

Does this guy know anything about anything going on?

Here's my semi-annual reminder that Jesus was a liberal. If we all say it loud enough for the magas in the back, do you think they'll start living like the real brown-skinned palestinian-jewish Jesus?

Nah... prolly not, but imma keep saying it anyways.

I think this guy was one of the J6 guys

ICE agent: If you keep on following me, you're gonna get arrested.

Photographer: We're in a Sam's Club parking lot.

ROLLING STONE: “The current Congress has dropped the pretense of public service altogether… Congress enjoys ultraluxe health care as it fights to gut yours.”

@RepTimBurchett @MarshaBlackburn why don’t you care about anyone but yourselves? www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Not only is Congress being paid during the #GOPShutdown

Congress receives a $79 per day meal allowance for working in Washington, D.C.

Americans who receive $25 per month through SNAP, however, lose their benefits.

If you have a USAA account, they are providing zero interest loans, which should cover at least part of your salary.

My furloughed colleagues are now having to take out loans to pay their rent/mortgages and some have taken second jobs to try to cover costs. Those that are working without pay are stuck. My retired colleagues will not receive their pension checks.

Hey ⚾️ fans,

If you’re at the game tonight, walk each other to your cars because ICE is in the parking lot.

Brace yourselves Chicago. They're going full Nazi.

MAGA won’t want to believe.!

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

Don’t laugh at this. Don’t dismiss it. They’re serious. Prepare for it. And get ready to fight against it.

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

The MeidasTouch Network’s reporting earlier this week about the I-5 being shut down because Trump was having the Navy and Marines shoot live munitions over the highway in Camp Pendleton proved to be 100 percent accurate.

SCANDAL — the “paid protesters” all got stiffed yesterday 🤷🏼 💰

Now they know how all those contractors Trump hired feel 😕

(H/T @thegoodliars.bsky.social & @howdypolitics.bsky.social )

Hilarious!
