Please correct me if I'm got this wrong - just heard via Robert Reich Koffee Klatch: If you spent 1 million dollars every year, it would take you 2700 years to equal a trillion dollars - and that’s what the Tesla board just awarded Musk as his pay package. Disgusting.

SNAP feeds families in every city and town — especially kids, seniors, and people with disabilities.

But right now, more than 1 million people don’t have the benefits they need to get through the month.

If you need help or can give help, go to Mass.gov/SNAPFreeze.

Say this over and over again to anyone who can hear it: Pedophile Protection Program. Pedophile Protection Program. That is a phrase (and meaning) that will stick.

Such deep sh*t. But people will keep showing up. They’re not gonna take our free speech and right to gather away.
Leaked document. Yikes, things are about to get much worse. It looks like we’re on the verge of becoming a military state across the country. Step out of line, and the man come and take you away.

Love the dramatic colors and composition of this painting!
A #painting to look at. "Castlebellingham" was painted on a visit - much too short - to County Louth having cycled there from Navan. It was a magical time. #SpeirGhorm #ArtYear

I love this so much
Telling moment: I was walking back from the rally, but a couple miles from it, carrying nothing but my gigantic American flag. An eight year old on his bike sees me with it and yells "No Kings!!" with absolute conviction.

My friends, they have lost the flag.

In a coordinated move, multiple federal agencies joined BlueSky yesterday and turned to trolling the opposition. Our Assessment on Democratic Decline warns of this autocratic practice: attacking the free press and narrowing the space in which factual reporting can safely operate without retaliation.

What if?
What if the media just stopped? A total blackout No Trump stories. No White House drama for 1 week.
Instead, flood the airwaves with stories of laid-off workers, families torn apart by ICE, communities fighting to survive. Farmers losing their livelihoods.
America is hurting—and we deserve coverage.
