I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you have friends struggling through the shutdown, consider inviting them over for a family dinner this week. Make too much. Insist they take leftovers home. Some folks can't say they need help out loud but will appreciate the kindness.

He’s not even making biscuits. He’s giving my bed a delicate, luxurious massage.

There are three classes: rich, poor, and empty
Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

Can anyone recommend some good ones in LA?
Pet food is usually not covered by SNAP (depending on where you are), but needing to cover more groceries may take up what you would have spent on it. Many animal shelters have pet food pantries, so check your local if you're struggling to feed your pets.

Trump’s pro-apartheid pick made clear this regime wants a return to the heyday of Jim Crow in this country.

This nomination comes days after the regime urged MAGA justices on SCOTUS to destroy the Voting Rights Act.

What we fail to reckon with and repair from our past, we repeat.
So you should really watch this. Just 2 minutes. But a window into the truly radical nature of the people Trump is nominating.

When pressed today, the nominee to be Ambassador to South Africa refuses to oppose reinstituting laws to prevent black people from voting in America.

Don’t laugh at this. Don’t dismiss it. They’re serious. Prepare for it. And get ready to fight against it.

I love Guillermo del Toro calling ages 19 to 29 "sublime confusion"
Walton Goggins. It’s gotta be Goggins. I find him oddly attractive, and he’s SUCH an amazing actor.

George Floyd should still be here to celebrate his 52nd birthday. His life sparked a movement, and our fight for justice, accountability, and humanity continues. We’ll never stop saying his name.

Please be conscious if you protest this weekend that there are feds at the protest. They look like you and they sound like you, not like Steve Buscemi in that one clip with the skateboard. Thinking you can spot them is self delusion. Nobody you haven’t met needs to know your last name.

MANY ARE UPSET THAT I THINK MY REELECTION IS LOCKED UP
Why @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, @chucktingle.bsky.social et al won't is clear: they THINK their reelection is locked up. They know the Americans who care don't have another option. And the second level leadership in the party is doing what they did with Biden: pretending nothing is wrong!

It’s Indigenous Peoples' Day! Today and every day, we honor the native land that we're on, as well as its keepers—their cultures, traditions, and remarkable contributions.
I suppose if you literally do nothing else. I just find it astounding.
How is that humanly possible?
