Am really appreciating Penzey’s no-salt blends. Some weeks nearly everything savory gets Mural of Flavor.

The only way someone could possibly not “deserve” food is if they have surplus when others have none. End of story.

What @nslayton.bsky.social wrote.

Godsdamn, Texas.

"Republican leaders blamed poor Americans for the Great Depression, saying they drained the economy because they refused to work hard enough."

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même choice.

The assholes just repeat history, they don't even try rhyming it.

“Journalistic writing had been an entirely one-way experience for me. I imagined an audience reading what I wrote …. But it was pretty much all imagination. Now there was this two-way dimension to the whole dynamic. … The more I wrote, the more information I got, the more ideas were spawned.“

Revealed: ICE violates its own policy by holding people in secretive rooms for days or weeks Guardian analysis finds ICE increasingly keeps people in holding rooms with little oversight, as some facilities see a 600% rise in detention length

They are planning on Civil War II.

So when we’re laid off, without safety net aid of any kind (no SNAP, no Medicaid nor ACA credits, an unemployment benefit that runs out before we can find another job in a tanking economy), we go bankrupt sooner?

DON’T SIT THIS ONE OUT IN DISPAIR.

Update, even more absurd: the reporter interviewed ANOTHER Bill DeBlasio, a wine importer on Long Island - not the former mayor. Didn’t bother to verify who he was talking with.

Colin Seeberger comments, “He’s talking about making people with preexisting conditions pay more. Here we go again.” Below is a tweet from Aaron Rupar quoting Senator John Kennedy saying: “Bringing back high risk pools, which have been outlawed under the ACA.” The attached CNN screenshot shows a split-screen interview with Kennedy and the anchor discussing Republican healthcare ideas.

“High risk pools” are groups where insurance companies put those with preexisting conditions. Don’t let them hide the ball.

Non-verbal feast for the eyes.

(How does he get registration to line up? I’m in awe.)

“The very AI tools that are adding to today’s employment problems are being used by the Trump administration to chip away at reality, one white-supremacy meme and one fascistic propaganda video at a time.”

Ostensibly ads for programs to limit H1-B visas (mostly tech jobs, not blue collar) - huh?!?

Bravo!
This, along with NM’s commitment to affordable childcare, are really important steps to fight poverty.

Important new story from @jenafifield.bsky.social

My dad used to throw in vegetable names when he spited nonsense words. I was embarrassingly old when I realized that rutabaga, mangelwurtzel, & kohlrabi (coldgrabbie) are real.

The update is now ICE cannot name 3,000 people it has detained from the Chicago area, & has “lost” their location.
That’s what, almost 5K people desaparacidos?

The Kavanaugh Stop’s Legacy: 50 Days, 170+ Detained Citizens, Zero Answers

It was just last month that Brett Kavanaugh gave his explanation for why it was perfectly okay for Homeland Security goons to profile brown people and detain them based on nothing more than the color of their skin. While…

By all that’s holy, I laughed at the Kat Abughazaleh indictment / Bugs Bunny parody(*) only to find out that theyse losers are real-life f’in Keystone Kops. But with live ammo.

(*) link in replies.

And just flat-out lying in hopes that’ll let them commit hate crimes. “In fear for his life” should be automatically, summarily, rejected; a plea of self-defense needs actual evidence of an actual, specific, credible, mortal threat.

San Jose council approves policies to freeze ICE out - San José Spotlight San Jose continues to strengthen protections for its immigrant communities by prohibiting federal immigration agents from hiding their identity and advancing plans to prevent ICE from using city-owned...

Am cheered by what San José’s city authorities, & Santa Clara county officials, are trying to put in place. Here’s hoping they can / will manage enforcement.
(The RRN work they support literally saves lives & families.)

SCOTUS enabling the imperial presidency is ultimately about seizing executive power.

“The ultimate theme of the decisions is a majority bent on preserving *their* supremacy.” Not the rule of law, but the rule of SCOTUS?

And identify the editor who passed these lies. (Probably commissioned them, but definitively approved them.)

WAIT UP.

A match in their new, undoubtedly buggy, AI facial recognition app overrides birth certificates as evidence of citizenship?

Tell me that this is another chatGPT hallucination. Please.

Reminder that cis men - yes, fully cis-gendered men - get breast cancer too,

And yes, ignorance if that fact means they’re more likely to die from it.
