so, this right here? this is one of the absolutely most lawless, brazenly unconstitutional impeachable offenses ever committed by any president other than trump in the history of our country.

like, this is an open and shut case. and it's a case which targeted *republicans.*

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.

This isn’t a focus in the Discourse because the loudest voices with the biggest platforms are people who have never worried about their next meal. I’ve needed SNAP; I’ve used SNAP; I’ve lost it when it mattered. This is going to be a wave of mass starvation beyond living memory in this country.

Let’s help keep two rural public radio stations on the air despite budget cuts due to federal defunding. Next viewers have raised $50,000 for KRZA in the San Luis Valley and @ksutpublicradio.bsky.social in the Four Corners. I’ll match the next fifty $5 donations: cfssc.fcsuite.com/erp/donate/c...

Exactly this. Even in the in person Experience event, where we could all say "pass it to me, I'm open!" - nobody passed. It's fun to drive, not to do anything else.

COMMENTARY: Hundreds of Denverites may drop off their kids for the first day of school next Monday then lose their jobs hours later. The goal for the Mayor and his administration should be compassion and competence in handling these mass layoffs. #copolitics

In 2021, Biden admin awarded Kerr County TX $10m in American Rescue Plan Act funds, which could have been used for flood prevention infrastructure. But commissioners, facing political pressure from conservative residents, opted not to pursue warning system. www.texastribune.org/2025/07/10/t...

A State Department employee shared with PBS News an image from inside the department. The image includes a piece of paper taped to a mirror with the words, "Colleagues, if you remain: RESIST FASCISM. Remember the oath you vowed to uphold."

If you ask me, it totally depends on which game you're playing. It's art if it's Zelda. If it's Mario Kart... Yeah, time for a break. 😿

the best thing I learned from unionizing is that "we hate how things are" can be a starting point for a movement. But if you can't articulate a real, genuine belief that "things CAN be better", you're gonna fail again and again

Good point. I suppose you could reach out to customer service and ask if they can add a coupon? Their team seems more than reasonable based on my experience.
