โ€œAs Christians, we cannot look away. We must act to stop this evil and witness to the goodness and dignity of all Godโ€™s children. For us, the stakes couldnโ€™t be higher. As Matt 25:46 clarifies, those who refuse hospitality to the stranger โ€ฆ stand condemned.โ€

Exactly. People losing food stamps affects all of us. It affects the children who get free lunch at school. It affects those who are already in hardship of making ends meet while the prices of groceries have gone up.

Please take the time to go to findhelp.org to find food pantries in your area.

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.

I lived with my dad when I was very young and he didnโ€™t apply for food stamps or free school lunches, though we qualified.

So, I went hungry. It was awful. I begged neighbors for saltine crackers. I can say it was the worst time of my life.

Children shouldnโ€™t go hungry. Restore SNAP benefits.

And though he may be gone, his spirit remains in every harmony, in every bassline, in every heart he touched. Artists like Dโ€™Angelo donโ€™t just make music; they make memories.

We will miss him.

The world lost a giant.

Dโ€™Angelo was more than a musician, he was a vessel of soul, a conjurer of feeling, a truth-teller in melody and rhythm. He bared his soul with every note and we felt it.

A stack of golden vegan courgette (zucchini), potato, onion and feta fritters sits at the centre of the image, each layer crisp-edged and slightly irregular, hinting at their handmade nature. They're surrounded by a loose garland of fresh rocket leaves adding a splash of green to the rustic brown plate beneath. The plate rests on an aged Mediterranean-style table with a green and white zig-zag pattern, its bold design contrasting gently with the earthy tones of the food. In the softly blurred background, a small bowl of creamy homemade tzatziki completes the scene.

Courgette fritters with potato, onion and feta, served with homemade tzatziki. Using up the last of this yearโ€™s allotment crop. I make a version every year - last yearโ€™s was a bit different if you're curious. #KitchenGarden ๐Ÿฅ’๐ŸŒฑ โ‚Šหšโœง ๏พŸ

While Americans are struggling with higher prices, the President is focused on enriching himself and his family.

You look at this and have to ask yourself โ€“ is there any level of corruption so egregious that Republicans would call it out?

Evidently not.

Epstein victims' lawyer: While we have seen the documents, you haven't. When you see the documents, you're going to be appalled. The American people deserve to see everything. Evil flourishes in the darkness. If you care about these women, about our country, this should pass with flying colors

LaMonica McIver and the "lock her up" president The charges against the New Jersey congresswoman are unprecedented in modern US history.

The law is clear, whether you like it or not: Members of Congress have the right to conduct oversight of ICE facilities.

No law gives Trump the power to target his chosen political enemies, like @replamonica.bsky.social, simply for doing their jobs and their duties.

I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable

Breaking on MSNBC:

Trump just revoked Secret Service protection for Vice President Kamala Harris.

VPs typically only get six months of protection after leaving office, but President Biden signed a memorandum extending Harris' protection to 18 months.

I want better for the ladies. You should โœจ every time, just like he does. Do not settle for, โ€œwell it still feels good.โ€ Somebody will care about your pleasure enough to make sure it happens. And you canโ€™t lie about it or fake it, ever, because then they canโ€™t learn your body.
