Motherfucking wind farms…

Your periodic reminder that the estimated cost to end hunger in the U.S. is $25 billion.

FYI, none of these people are me. They are making the rounds on this site today asking people to follow them on WhatsApp and presumably do shenanigans. I don't use WhatsApp. I can only be reached on FarmersOnly.

Headline 1, "Americans are losing spending power, say researchers: Most can no longer afford a 'minimal quality of life.'" Headline 2, "The 10 richest Americans got $365 billion richer in the past year. Now they're on the verge of a huge tax cut."

The United States summed up in two headlines.

"Trump is claiming a constitutional power to immunize private parties to commit otherwise illegal acts with impunity."

"the Constitution does not give presidents the power to dispense with laws — a power that the British king used to have."

Today of all days. No kings.

Imagine this is you.

You’re locked in a cell thousands of miles from home. No one knows where you are. No charges. No trial. No end in sight.

Hey Dems, you know what would be way better than hitting me up for money right now?

Showing me how you're going to become a strong party to counter fascism.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

A race to the bottom

Telling people in your community about ICE raids is NOT illegal. No matter what Pam Bondi says.

I work as an elder and hospice caregiver, which I am oddly passionate about. I can love on them shamelessly and no one complains about my codependence. It's a win-win situation. Many of my caregiving colleagues complain about the repetitive questions and, sometimes reactions, of the elderly, especially when those patients happen to read the newspaper, especially with the current downward spiral of our country — as if these people haven't lived through enough horror... I love my dementia peeps, but sometimes wonder if there's a Guinness Book World Record for how many times an hour a dementia patient can repeat the same question — it's got to be in the hundreds. At least with small children, they ask different questions. Dementia patients will get stuck on one short question and ask it until you can interrupt their train(carousel) of thought and successfully redirect their attention. That carousel is pretty manic sometimes. A couple days ago, I picked up my mail from the post office and drove over to the nursing home to take (let's call her "Miss Daisy") Miss Daisy out for a drive. Before we took off on our road trip, to the end of The Road and back, in our landlocked little town (Juneau, Alaska), I set my copy of The Onion down in front of her. Over our two-hour excursion, tiny Miss Daisy read that front page at least a dozen times and each time she would snicker, giggle, and guffaw, then put it down on the dash board and, a minute later, discover it anew. I think it was the best afternoon of my life. We don't often hear them laugh and when they do, it's the sweetest thing you've ever heard. ... Thank you, thank you, thank you, for the really important work all of you do. You make the world a better place.

I got permission to share this, and I'm extremely grateful for that.

The Onion got this letter from one of our subscribers in Alaska. She works with dementia patients and decided to leave a copy in the car for each one.

This email made my year. Read it and you'll see what I mean. People are good.

If there was ever a time to call your Senator, this is it.

Voting has begun on the GOP plan to cut off health care for working-class Americans and slash taxes for the wealthiest.

Delivering Measles Vaccines on Horseback in Kyrgyzstan Dedicated health workers go the distance to keep children safe from disease outbreaks.

For 36 years, UNICEF-supported nurse Jiydegul Rysbaeva has traveled across Kyrgyzstan's Jon-Bulak Valley, delivering vaccines and care to children in remote communities.

"If just one child gets #measles, that child contacts many others," she says. "That's why we need to vaccinate kids."

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

Congratulations to Equality Caucus Co-Chair Rep. Robert Garcia for becoming the first openly-LGBTQI+ Member of Congress to serve as Ranking Member of the House Oversight Committee!

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida.

If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.
