Ahead of the 1st shutdown of US food aid to hungry Americans in 60 years, some of the 200,000 Little Free Library locations are converting into food pantries. Thanks @littlefreelibrary.bsky.social

REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): “If this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

Vance ‘28 has its bumper sticker!

It's not even remotely the worst thing here, but check out Vance, allegedly a Catholic, saying that he has nothing in common with "strangers" who move into a house next to him.

The Boxcar Children and the Mystery of the Missing Norms “The White House is demolishing the entirety of the East Wing to make way for President Trump’s $200 million ballroom, a construction project that ...

“Remember when we lived in a boxcar?” Violet asked.

“I sure do.” Henry replied, “Things were so much easier when we only had to rely on ourselves, and not get mixed up with the complicated transgressions of grown-ups.”

“Sometimes I think we ought to go back,” Jessie said.

Unbelievably, his name is George (Thomas) Floyd

A common theme of Trump II is an utterly cowardly class of elites while everyday regular people have risen to the occasion

Workers harvesting pumpkins in upstate New York in the rain

Pumpkins will be decorating porches tomorrow as we enjoy Halloween. They come to us thanks to workers like these NY state farm workers who were harvesting these heavy pumpkins last Friday in the rain. #WeFeedYou

This is going to be a slave labor camp. I don't use those words lightly.

Yep, it’s a concentration camp.

THE SUFFERING WILL CONTINUE UNTIL OUR POLL NUMBERS IMPROVE 🤷

New Trump 2028 campaign slogan just dropped.

I mean, this fellow apparently isn't a police officer, but I feel like at the very least he's the honorary head of La Brigade de répression du banditisme

This is literally Nazi shit. This is what the Nazis did. If you support this, you are a Nazi, and if that makes you upset, then STOP BEING A FUCKING NAZI

Mike Johnson desperately wants people to blame the end of SNAP benefits on the Democrats, but given the GOP's longstanding attacks on the program -- coupled with Trump's expensive White House: Extreme Makeover extravaganza -- that's going to be a hard sell.

"If we had a contingency fund."

You mean like this contingency fund the Trump Administration just deleted off their website? The one they are legally required to use to keep SNAP funded?

Our Long National Nightmare by Tom Tomorrow Relive the trauma of the last five years through the cartoons of Herblock Award winner and Pulitzer nominee Tom Tomorrow.

It's all hands on deck. I am shamelessly asking, one more time, for reposts and signal boost as this bird glides toward a landing in a few hours. It's gonna be a beautiful book, and there aren't going to be very many available afterwards!

no one says "I have decided to support Donald Trump because the global financial crisis has shaken my faith in the ability of liberal institutions to provide a stable economic system where I can feed my family," they say "my phone told me trans antifa members burned down portland"

My friend Terri is fostering Merle in DC but he needs a permanent home. Maybe yours? toolkit.rescuegroups.org/javascript/v...

Chicagoans are starting to do exactly this.

pitching a movie in which J. R. R. Tolkien arises from the dead to take academically-coded revenge on the techbros and MAGAs who continue to grotesquely misunderstand his work

The phrase “We tried to tell you” springs to mind for some reason

I'd need to know more about whether the minister shot in the face with a chemical agent from point-blank range before weighing in on it. Maybe it was good that it happened.

Why is it that every disappeared US citizen is not front page news? At the very least we should have a little box with a count of the number of citizens who have been taken away and are not locatable and a link to a story with photos & min-bios, just as we used to do with military casually figures.

I think a lot about the chance we had at the start of COVID to finally become a more compassionate, collectivist nation, and how profoundly we were failed not only by the sociopathic greed of the ruling class but by each other.

It doesn’t mean we won’t get there, but the lost opportunity haunts me.

there are going to be a lot of stories in the next couple weeks about the generosity of ordinary people in helping their fellow Americans and all of them will be wonderful and none of them should be necessary

we don’t have to have a government this cruel and capricious

It is a longtime staple of my Halloween playlist!

What's up with that?

Cartoonist Peter Kuper wishes we weren't here Mere months after the publication of his triumphant graphic novel about a post-apocalyptic insect world, Insectopolis, cartoonist Peter Kuper is back with another yet book about the end of humans,…

"The cartoons are four-panel panic attacks, expressing absolute fright over what humans are doing to the planet and ourselves." Check it out: Boing Boing has an excerpt of Wish We Weren't Here by @peter kuper! https://ow.ly/ykJh50Xk53f
