A symbol of patience, grace, balance and inner peace spied on a hike this morning in northern New Jersey. I’ll take this as a sign.

Someone wrote in chalk on the sidewalk in front of his house and that scared him away. What a special snowflake.

Trump is such a horrible person with an ugly heart, face and soul. Come pick up your boy, Lucifer. Save America.

It’s literally the Supplemental NUTRITION Assistance Program. How is anyone taking advantage of these benefits by getting their hair and nails done???!! What an asshole.

This is such a lie and such a huge tell that Rob Schmitt is a raging racist.

Dear New York, at the very least, please give wonderful Democratic Socialist Mamdani a massive landslide victory so that he has a mandate.

In a normal world, none of this would be happening and Hegseth would have been out of a job as a result of
Signalgate.

Imagine not knowing anything about anything and doing nothing while keeping your job.

I hope they’re ok and have food and supplies to make it through the next few weeks and months. I also saw this on X, which I’m no longer on but Jamaica Observer is a good resource for info: x.com/JamaicaObser...

Jamaica Observer on X: "The St Anthony's Kitchen in Negril which is committed to feeding people in need within the resort town and its environs is reporting an uptick in the number of residents seeking warm meals ahead of the approach of Hurricane Melissa. https://t.co/ZtcJWqPf0M" / X

Not since 1935 has anyone experienced a storm like Melissa. Melissa's record wouldn't have happened without climate change, which made the hurricane's winds about 10 mph stronger, according to a rapid attribution analysis by Climate Central. yaleclimateconnections.org/2025/10/cata...

Catastrophic Hurricane Melissa hits Jamaica as the strongest landfalling Atlantic hurricane on record » Yale Climate Connections

At landfall in western Jamaica, Melissa’s 185 mph winds and 892 mb pressure tied with the Labor Day Hurricane of 1935 in the Florida Keys as the strongest on record for the Atlantic.

At 185 mph maximum sustained winds, Cat 5 Hurricane #Melissa is now just 7 mph shy of what @michaelfwehner.bsky.social r.bsky.social & Jim Kossin have defined as the cutoff for a prospective "Cat 6" hurricane:

I wonder how many of those who are going to lose SNAP assistance at the start of the month know they’re going to lose it.

Eric is a Missouri congressman.

He is quite literally dependent on the federal government for his paycheck, his housing, and his free healthcare. He’s a tax recipient.

A stat we don't talk about enough: Newspapers have lost 77% of their jobs over the last 20 year, more than any of the 532 other industries tracked by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Refusing to be numb is a radical act.

Caring about the earth while they drill it.

Caring about strangers while they deport them.

Caring about truth while they erase it.

You’re not ‘too sensitive.’ Don’t let them make you be ashamed of your empathy and humanity. You’re still human. Stay that way.

Praying for Jamaica- such a small island rich with culture and hospitality. When I visited Negril two years ago, the locals were some of the warmest and kindest people you could ever meet. I hope all residents and tourists are able to find shelter and hunker down, and prepare for the worst.

TWO CAN PLAY THAT GAME: The official Massachusetts SNAP website now warns that Trump is “choosing not to issue November SNAP benefits that help you and many families put food on the table.” It also warns of cuts due to “Congressional Republicans and President Trump” in the “One Big Beautiful Bill.”

If you are confident that a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, you stop it and board it. That way, you have evidence.

If you don't really care if a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, but you just want to kill people, you blow the boat up. That way, the irrelevant evidence is gone.

It’s not love, it’s indifference. People simply don’t care about other people. Apathy is what will destroy us in the end.

lol what the wealthy today don't seem to understand is part of staying wealthy in society is not pissing off the masses.

There's a reason why Carnegie and the Rockefellers poured money into institutions. Gutting institutions and making it harder for the masses to survive is a...choice.
