An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs.

Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.

Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.

Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

Where is Leslie Knope? We need her!

Can we stop saying someone "has autism" like it's a disease to be treated and start saying that they "are autistic" in the same sense that they "are athletic" or "are artistic" or "are tall"?

Let's be clear: no one should be taking medical advice from the man who told Americans to inject bleach.

To moms worried about the Tylenol they took while pregnant: you deserve better than being RFK Jr's scapegoat.

And to the autism community: you are loved exactly as you are.

Morning poem by Stuart Kestenbaum

Holding the Light

#poetry

Holding the Light
Stuart Kestenbaum
for Kait Rhoads
Gather up whatever is glittering in the gutter, whatever has tumbled in the waves or fallen in flames out of the sky,
for it's not only our hearts that are broken, but the heart
of the world as well.
Stitch it back together.
Make a place where
the day speaks to the night and the earth speaks to the sky.
Whether we created God or God created us
it all comes down to this:
In our imperfect world we are meant to repair and stitch together
what beauty there is, stitch it
with compassion and wire.
See how everything we have made gathers the light inside itself and overflows? A blessing.

Among other things, I'm just so pissed that a country that once made winning WWII its whole personality is now building concentration camps

I think it would be good to get some women in charge of the countries that have nuclear weapons. Women talk to each other. Women can be reasonable. Enough with the macho men and swinging dicks.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

"Illegal boycott" has got to be the absolute most moronic oxymoron I have ever heard in my life.

Officials at the FAA have directed staff to identify tens of millions of dollars to fund a Starlink deal for upgrading air traffic control communications. Staff has been instructed to find the funds while minimizing documentation and avoiding a paper trail.
