A tweet from Marc Lobliner reads: “Why the hell are we giving food stamps to 40 million people? Does anyone work anymore?” It quotes a post from Leading Report that says: “BREAKING: USDA will not tap emergency funds for food stamps, 40 million set to lose aid next week, per Axios.”

I know you’re a bodybuilder, but use your noggin this time. Nearly half of those who receive food stamps work. Of the rest, most are over 65 or disabled. Wages are too low for tens of millions, and Social Security isn’t enough for many elderly.

Normalizing the idea of a third Trump term, even as a ‘theory,’ is wildly irresponsible. We need reporters who challenge authoritarian impulses, not those who entertain them.

The king has no clothes, but the peons around him are afraid to tell him.
The king demands all the money he has stolen (meant to feed the starving) go to build a golden room so he can dance, eat and drink with his rich friends.
The king didn't like a report in the kingdom, so the serf was beheaded.

in summary. this is me about this movie and i refuse to be normal about it.

i watched #superman2025 (directed by @jamesgunn.bsky.social) and felt my soul fucking ascend at several parts of the movie; everyone was perfect. everything was perfect. the sets, the cast, the music, the costumes, there is not enough characters to express how much i loved this movie holy shit dude

The budget for ICE in 2026 would not only easily accommodate the budget of the National Park Service, but completely cover the $22 billion in deferred maintenance that the NPS has accrued over decades. Then it would cover it again. And again.

Stephen Colbert’s ‘Late Show’ canceled by CBS, to end in May 2026 CBS said in a statement that it was “purely a financial decision.” The show launched with Colbert as host, executive producer and writer a decade ago.

From a distance you can see a mountain landscape with a blue sky and a few hazy clouds. on the sides of the picture you can see parts of trees. On the left in light green, on the right a smaller dark green tree further away. in the center is a black box on which is written in white “Only caring about your own right is exactly how you lose them”.

Bombing Iran is a great way to distract from how your administration is bombing elsewhere.

Bombing for peace is like burning books to promote literacy.

The War is not meant to be Won, it is meant to be Continuous.

The first civilian detained by Marines in Los Angeles was a Black man. You can’t ignore that this reflects a pattern of unequal treatment based on skin color. Racial profiling is illegal and unconstitutional. Don’t let this be buried under the wave of lawless behavior coming from Trump’s regime.

When Trump returned to office in January, Ohio’s largest food bank was already slammed. Then he cut its funding reut.rs/45HxMm3

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.
