The shutdown will worsen hunger—which the Trump administration just stopped tracking Millions of women and children are at risk of losing food benefits.

Shortly before the shutdown, the USDA moved to scrap the Household Food Security Report, the nation’s primary tool for tracking food insecurity, and in doing so, stripped away the very infrastructure needed to remedy rising hunger in America.

Trad wife? Unpaid labor doing all the work at home? She’s the superstar, much larger breadwinner, globally known and highly esteemed. She will continue being the shining star, as all women should be!

It’s not ironic. It’s exactly the point. Mediocre white men been in power because of oppression. DEI expands pool of access and action.

Message from the Sackets Harbor Principal As the principal of these students, I need to speak plainly. Our three students who were taken by ICE were doing everything right. They had declared themselves to immigration judges, attended court on their assigned dates, and were following the legal process. They are not criminals. They have no ties to any criminal activity. They are loved in their classrooms. Their family has worked at the nearby "Old McDonald's" petting zoo and dairy farm for 15 years. They lived in a house on the same road as a home ICE had a warrant for. The fact that ICE went door to door is unfathomable. The fact that our students were handcuffed and put into the same van as the alleged criminal from down the street is unconscionable. When I think of my third grader's experience, my stomach twists and it is hard to breathe. We are in shock-and it is that shared shock that has unified our community in the call for our students' release. We are in direct communication with our students. Let me be clear: they are not "being medically evaluated." They are not being "questioned as potential victims." Calling a detention center by another name does not change what it is. We deserve better than spin and misinformation. My teachers and my students are already hurting. Please, think about how long every hour feels for a third grader in a detention center. The wait had already been too long a week ago. I have no other agenda. Please release my students and their mother back to our community. Jaime Cook Prek-12 Principal Sackets Harbor, NY

Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic.

(posting in 3 parts due to Bluesky's 1 minute limit)

Trump emphasizes meritocracy. And yet Vance? And most of his cabinet picks? Well below average/no experience for the role they are chosen for.

I thought Melania wore her hat to cover her eyes/reaction during inauguration ceremony. But hat prevents Donald from getting close enough to kiss her. So he has to do a weird air kiss. Well played, Melania. Well played!
