Kid, if you don't know whether your Batman costume is pre- or post-Crisis continuity, you don't deserve candy. Also, Batman doesn't cry.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

About 670,000 federal employees are furloughed, while about 730,000 are working without pay. Amazon says it will let go 30,000 this week. SNAP gone. Heath Insurance unaffordable. Trump, Republicans and the Broligarchy are destroying the USA in front of our very eyes.

If you can, direct a little of your food pantry giving to pet food pantries at local shelters.

Did you know?

In the Victorian era, a performer named Charles Lauri Jr. became famous for his strange animal impersonations.

His act was so lifelike that audiences reportedly forgot they were watching a human at all.

A screenshot of a post on X that reads: 

Cuomo, talking to conservative radio host Sid Rosenberg this morning:

"God forbid, another 9/11β€”can you imagine Mamdani in the seat?" Cuomo asks.

"He'd be cheering," Rosenberg says.

Cuomo paused and chuckled before saying: "That's another problem."

I donated $25 to @grahamformaine.bsky.social. He no longer has my support. I hope another young progressive Democrat emerges in the race to unseat Susan Collins. There's plenty of time, and if Platner at all resembles the person I thought he was, he will remove himself from the race.
