Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.
The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive
"Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a nearly blind refugee from Burma who Border Patrol agents dropped off at a doughnut shop Thursday and left to find his way home, 5 miles away, has been found dead."
To read the words is to damn all involved, from Trump on down.

Statement from Virginia Giuffre’s family: “Our broken hearts have been lifted by the news that no one is above the law, not even royalty... He was never a prince. For survivors, everywhere, Virginia did this for you.”
Being homeless doesn’t mean you deserve to die. It doesn’t mean you deserve to be mistreated. It means you deserve housing. Period.

“…offender Jeffrey Epstein, for the Bard Early Colleges. Leon visited Epstein’s Manhattan townhouse to personally thank him, he would later claim; he would continue visiting Epstein, nearly two dozen times, over the ensuing four years.” From the book Carrie Carolyn Coco by Sarah Gerard.

The Heritage Foundation has released a 250-year roadmap to “save America.”
The document is a how-to guide for subjugating girls & young women: a detailed plan to push them out of college, funnel them into early marriage and motherhood, and then trap them there.

I’ve been writing Popular Information for 8 years, and this is one of the most important stories I’ve ever published. This is a humanitarian crisis that has gone unreported.
The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

One of my favorite purchases: a portable air compressor I keep in my car. It was less than $30. Made my life so much better/easier.
The Worst Hard Time by Timothy Egan about the Dust Bowl. An amazing book.
We could spend years demanding a list be released, or we could just believe women…
Glad you’re here.
A radical Christian just murdered the speaker of a state house but the real worry is the theocratic muslim who said the bus should be cheaper
"It's really hard to fathom that the guy making my pizza for 25 years is a gangster and a terrorist, and the person who shows up in an unmarked car wearing a mask and body armor comes to take him away is somehow the good guy” www.wnep.com/article/news...
The big reveal is that this - what you’re seeing right now - is in fact *exactly* how businesses are run; chaotically and at the whims of sociopaths who think they know everything, actually know nothing, and run away with a golden parachute to leave others to clean up their mess.
Really enjoying being governed by a magic 8 ball of stupid ideas
My daughter just lost her VISTA position this week.
This is a gut punch. One of the very best of humanity and a person who was so important to me and so many others. variety.com/2025/music/n...
Protesters are out in Arkansas lining the streets for May Day!
Thank you, AR!
Also let’s be clear about why they’re talking over Signal — they are attempting to skirt their obligations under the federal record preservation laws and ensure no records exists for public review.
It’s incredibly illegal, but what do they do that isn’t?
