I really hope a future Democrat turns the White House ballroom into a soup kitchen.

Houston Friends: I'll Have What She's Having, is putting on another free reproductive health and long acting contraception clinic day. These services are available to Houston area workers in the hospitality industry. If you know someone who could benefit from this, please do share.

for all the grotesque stereotypes in this ad it’s the shot of Mamdani throwing rice into his mouth while running down the street I find most disturbing, maybe because it feels like genuine A.I. racism rather than an A.I. following racist instructions
Pretty much.
You guys, the person exercising the powers of the presidency is constitutionally disqualified from holding the office and he’s having the White House bulldozed. This is true and it’s happening, right? I’m not dreaming this?

It looks like SNAP recipients are not going to get their benefits in the month of November.

Not only is this going to be devastating to millions of families; but, it is going to be an economy crusher.

Walmart, alone, makes 8-10 Billion dollars a month from EBT sales.

I keep seeing ads for Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner on 60 Minutes tonight to discuss the "peace deal." Wonder if they'll update it with the news today that the ceasefire has been broken? "We taped this interview before the entire deal fell apart, but here it is anyhow..."

Their project depends on making us all feel alone, isolated and powerless. Taking part in a protest destroys all of those feelings in an instant. Go.
Head to a protest today. I can almost promise you will feel less hopeless. That's exactly what they don't want. There are more of us than there are of them.

For the first time in more than 100 years, Chinook salmon have been spotted at the confluence of the Sprague and Williamson rivers in Chiloquin, the government seat of the Klamath Tribes in Southern Oregon.

Salmon clear last Klamath dams, reaching Williamson and Sprague rivers
Just a year after four dams were removed, a group of fall Chinook have migrated nearly 300 miles into the Upper Klamath Basin.

Clams too. I once spat out a raw was razor clam involuntarily. At a counter seat, in a restaurant.
He is out of what remains of his mind. Fully in thrall to his psychoses.
