I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

Happy Diwali to all who celebrate. 🪔🎆🎇

The little-known groundwater Los Angeles pumps in the Owens Valley, and the tribes who want it back In the Owens Valley, Los Angeles siphons water from Sierra streams and also pumps groundwater from wells. Native tribes are calling for the city to take less water.

The Obama Hope poster, but it's a frog and it says "Hop"

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

"You're no Mario Cuomo, Andrew Cuomo."

This is such an exciting outcome and I couldn't be more thrilled that @ted.com will remain a non-profit and is being placed in such capable hands. A huge congrats to Sal Khan and Logan McClure Davda!

This is how I began every morning on the #Superman set, saying hello to Jolene, the Krypto stand-in.

Background: over much of the past year, basically by accident, @sonaar.bsky.social & I have been raising💰for a couple who arrived in the🇺🇸the day the USG suddenly lawlessly stopped fulfilling their commitments to new immigrants.

We’d planned to donate furniture but that’s not what they needed so..

This incredibly Minnesota sign is breaking my heart.

Despite warnings from the law enforcement not to attend today’s No Kings rally after this mornings shooting of Minnesota lawmakers with the killer on the lose, the No Kings Rally is happening at the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul.

We have entered the "The police is saying that if the police is at your door you are not safe call the police immediately" stage of making America great again

It should not be lost on anyone that Minnesota Rep Melissa Hortman, who was shot to death in her home last night by an assassin, was a gun safety advocate who worked tirelessly to protect her constituents from gun violence.

Seeing all the "last day" posts from EPA staff today is heartbreaking. You deserved so much better, my friends.

@kcrw.com @travisholcombe.bsky.social really loving this Brian Wilson / Sly alternating tribute closing out this dumpster fire of a week… love you guys more than ever 💙

Rising to the occasion.

LAPD’s chief just said that the President may or may not have deployed the military in Los Angeles.

In other words, the federal government and the military are not communicating—let alone coordinating—with the city, county or state…

National guard trucks and soliders lined up against protestors, defending a federal building

Back to the beginning of the protest when they reached the federal building--this is a jaw-dropping photo from the Fox11 stream, where protestors directly confronted federal police and national guard trucks and soldiers, before being pushed back by LAPD.

Almost gives Tiananmen Man vibes.

Photo of tv with images of burning Waymo’s & a chyron reading Waymo’s set on fire during protests.

Thanks to their chyron, KTLA had no choice but to start reporting that protestors are specifically burning Waymos (& not police & private vehicles), but are now claiming that Google’s privately owned & for profit surveillance robots serve the public…

Just in case: obvi it’s bad to burn vehicles!
