If you have it please donate cash to the food banks. $10 in their hands will feed more people than the $10 worth of canned goods you can buy for retail prices. Also check on your elders. Many of them will not admit they rely on these programs so grocery gift cards or a surprise bag of staples

"No, we don't want a monarchy, we want a theocracy" is a not the flex they think it is.
Chip Roy: "The truth is the marxist, radicals, and Islamists the Democratic Party promoted this weekend, they cannot handle the truth. The truth is that there is a king and that king is Jesus. And the president has been willing to say it, & Charlie Kirk was willing to say it & he got killed for it."

Shubh Deepavali! Wishing everyone a very happy Diwali.

Across our city, families are lighting diyas and celebrating the triumph of light over darkness and hope over despair.

New York shines brighter tonight because of the people who bring their light and traditions home.

For those asking after the woman who was arrested for wearing a penis costume to a No Kings protest in Fairhope, Alabama, @gambleganders.bsky.social says she was released after being charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.

I told her I bet Bluesky could find her a lawyer!
