He's building a gold-guilded ballroom to host the foreign officials who come to bribe him, while denying millions of hungry kids food. Just how thuddingly obvious, how over-the-top, how florid & theatrical does this story have to get before the media starts honestly telling it?

The more accurate ending to the full clip would be that if T***p just stayed the f*** out of it SNAP payments would be continuing to go out. He's contradicting his own experts on a whim to hurt people.

My read is the hand wave at reducing poverty and disease is cover for pursuing energy intensive AI (AI is making microsoft unable to achieve its own climate goals).
Checking notes on increasing climate disasters destroying whole nations: effective climate action would decrease poverty and disease

I look at everything that Mamdani puts out, and it has the vibe of "We're awesome. Here's why. Everyone wants to be on our team."

Establishment Dems (and most leftist pundits) need to learn from this. No one cares why or how the other side is bad. They need to know how you're better.

As SNAP benefits are cut, this should be something we demand of state governors to do with their states national guard.

Food banks & other forms of community aid will feel the stress caused by these cuts. There will undoubtedly be understaffing and shortages, this is one way we can prepare for this

Fact: Reagan's words critiqued tariffs.
Fact: "Reagan was wary of tariffs and used much of the 1987 address featured in Ontario’s ad spelling out the case against tariffs."
Doesn't T***p's distance from reality merit the use of the 25th & impeachment, esp. from a Conservative Republican viewpoint?

Make sure to put some of these community forums on your calendar.

It's really important to continue to show up as industry tries to undermine this community driven process.

NW Natural, Zenith, and others are trying to stop aggressive climate justice action & some commissioners are weak kneed.

Now is a really good time to donate to food banks, and do food runs for mutual aid groups. Also, do menstrual product runs.

I wonder how much food theft spikes with desperate people just trying to feed their families. I'm sure there will be a media panic about it.

2 days (today and tomorrow) left to tell city planners that you would rather they reduced liquid fuel storage in NW Portland than shrug in the face of the strong likelihood of the worst industrial disaster in US history

Nick @ecosozialismus.bsky.social · 25d

Everything is stupid and dangerous right now, *but* we have an opportunity to make a least one thing less stupid and dangerous.

Please submit a comment to the PDX city planners asking them to prevent any further expansion of liquid fuel storage at the CEI Hub and mandate a fuel drawdown.

This doesn't even cover fossil fuel subsidies.

likewise, if the Trump admin actually cared about public safety in America and not political punches, they would be mobilizing federal support for typhoon-devastated communities in Alaska.

My understanding was that immigrants often Create jobs by building new businesses etc. Also, those (immigrants or not) doing low-paid work in agriculture and home care etc are literally keeping the rest of our asses alive.
