It doesn't matter. Past a certain age, all treats have no calories. Ask my Siberian asshole, who is shameless, and I, who am helpless when he turns on those eyes.

The Future We’re Fighting For Why competing everywhere — even in deep red states — is how we strengthen democracy

I spoke to Indiana Democrats last night in Anderson.

Hundreds showed up. In a “deep red” state.

Serious candidates. Real debate. A party of ideas.

That’s how democracy was designed to work — and it’s how we take it back.

We compete everywhere.

This aged well...

I adore your Molly posts.

It still boggles my mind that so many people couldn't grasp last year how significantly more morally depraved a second Trump term would be in comparison to the first. And how so many people still can't comprehend that our national crisis isn't about politics, but simple morality.

This could end with a strike by air-traffic controllers who're working for nothing. Shut down air travel and demand more staff, training, & equipment.

Day 1 the airlines would be camping on the Capitol lawn. After 3, the Epstein Files would be public. A week, we could have Medicare for All.

Thugs.

Black background with white text that reads What is premeditated ignorance? Premeditated ignorance is the quality or condition of deliberate unawareness. It is when do not know because they do not want to know. For, if they did know, they would have to take the responsibility for the knowledge; and, they would thereby be required to renegotiate their identity and to relinquish the status, privilege, and authority, that are derived from the false order of knowledge. At the very least, they would be compelled to leave their comfort zone.

11/ They are about to see some long, tough and heartbreaking days.

Go be one of the helpers. Please. 🧵

10/ If you can't get behind a donation because you're stuck on that hill about people getting handouts or how the small percentage of bad actors spoil the pot for the other people, then you could at least take a moment and send some love, light or prayer to the people in social services.

9/ Boxed Meal kits like Hamburger or Tuna Helper
Peanut Butter
Breakfast cereals or protein bars
Rice
Beans

8/ But if you must shop, or your love language is finding the best deals, these are the items any food pantry or collection/distribution point (think food boxes) are always happy to receive:

Canned Fruit
Canned Meats: tuna, salmon, beef
Canned Soups
Boxed Macaroni & Cheese

7/ Clean out your pantries. Just don't send grossly outdated food. Honestly, it's disrespectful and unsafe. If you wouldn't risk it, you shouldn't give it away and ask someone else to.

6/ This is how you love your neighbor as yourself. This is how you minister your faith.

Pantries already have accounts with food manufacturers and stores to maximize dollars. What we can buy on shelves, they can buy at a discount. Send dollars.

5/ It's time to say enough is enough with using things like food and healthcare as pawns for those of us in middle America. And it's time to take a hard look at our wallets and consider a donation to a local food pantry. For all of you out there claiming to love Jesus, this is your time.

4/ If you're not worried about how to make your next meal, feed your kids or take a warm meal to your parents or grandma, it's time to start imagining what it's like for your neighbors who live with food scarcity every day.

It's kids, guys. It's babies. It's the elderly. It's the disabled.

3/ I was there to take some promo pictures, but rather than looking robust they were empty.

For those of us not worried about how the shutdown is affecting SNAP, it's time for you to show up.

2/ Food pantries are just not prepared or financially able to fill the gap that's about to happen for Indiana families. They have already been hit hard with high inflation at the grocery store. When I walked the pantry Monday afternoon, the normally-full shelves were sad.

1/ Most of my close people know, but I've been regularly volunteering for Operation Love Ministries (operationloveministries.org) for about six months.

Folks, let's get real for a moment: if SNAP isn't funded, the impact on our community is going to be severe. 🧵

Dude, you should be apoplectic NOW. Grow a goddamn spine.

Red-headed Woodpecker A bird a day keeps the chaos away

Today is the day to put down your phone and go touch some grass. If you look up in the trees, you just might see one of these guys...

Okay, this was everything I needed from the internet today. I can shut down everything about the world going to shit because I saw Shadow visiting his frens.

How much blush does a man need to wear? It's just weird.

Some do
Some don't
Some won't

American Goldfinch A bird a day keeps the chaos away

It's time for another reminder to touch grass, even if it's only virtually. We've just started a new series of midwestern backyard birds. We hope you'll join us.

The same people who laughed about feeding immigrants to alligators now want moral high ground because you won’t grieve their monster.

Empathy isn't owed to those who mocked it.
