It's a fun, fleeting thing. I don't think anyone is expecting to cash in - it's a happy moment in a sea of unhappy news. Let them be.

Journalists Are Starving in Gaza β€œI used to chase the truth. Now I chase calories.”

"Journalists in Gaza have risked bombs, bullets, and now starvation to tell the stories those in power don’t want told. Their courage is remarkable," Seth Stern told @meghnadbose.bsky.social in @columjournreview.bsky.social.

A budget is a moral document. Show me your budget and I'll show you your values.

The Senate Republican budget proposal rips away health care and food from the needy to give tax cuts to the rich.

It’s immoral.

This is real life, y’all.

These aren’t β€œdemocratic talking points”—this is a real mother and real babies at risk of going hungry, all because Republicans want to be greedy.

Somebody please tell me how you can feed a growing family of 6 on $15 per day… you can’t.

So much for keeping families together. Where are the family values the GOP is always proudly yelling about?

The top 1% own 40% of stocks, while the bottom 40% of Americans own almost none.

Stop measuring the health of the economy by how well the stock market is doing, and start measuring it by how well working families can afford food, housing, healthcare and education.

Sadly, here in Kansas City, really good bagels are limited and shipping them from NYC is expensive.

@kansascitycurrent.bsky.social is strong! I'm going to need someone to score goals against Orlando (and can't wait until the ORL v KC matches)!

My God.

ICE wrongfully arrested a man while his 5-year-old autistic child sat in the backseatβ€”and shipped him off to an El Salvador prison. No due process. Now the Trump administration claims they can’t get him back.

How many more?

THIS NEEDS TO BE A BIGGER STORY.

As someone with years of experience fighting food insecurity here in the midwest, this is the opposite of efficient.

This has always been a guiding principle for my work with community organizations. You don't have to do it all, and certainly not by yourself. Just find the others who are organizing and go be a piece of the dorsal fin!

I've personally relied on bus transportation (for 6 months due to medical issues). Losing this many routes would decimate what little mass transit we have around this metro. We need to improving this kind of infrastructure, not dismantling it - especially with the World Cup coming!

A top Democratic congressman goes off during a DOGE hearing and calls out Elon for trying to cut Social Security.

More of this please.

Save the Date! March 4-5 is #UMKC Giving Day. I'm supporting #MSW Scholarship Fund to help get more students from the community trained to serve it well. Who will you support? #umkcgivingday

Interesting that this comes as the federal govt is limiting the very research funding UMKC was seeking to get more of. Oh well.

Here we go again: More winter storms are heading for much of the U.S. Break out those shovels, because storms are about to dump a mess of snow and ice on a large part of the U.S. As of noon Tuesday, at least 20 states were under winter warnings or advisories.
