Hi just so I'm clear.

I wrote "donate to food banks" and do "food runs for mutual aid" because they are different things!

Food banks want your money! they can do more with your money than with stuff.

Mutual aid groups often want stuff! Mine has a food fridge!

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.

If we had a functioning Congress, it would be requiring Trump to (1) Provide a complete list of all people/countries/corporations/mafia providing bribes, ur, “donations” for his tacky ballroom; and (2) An audited accounting of where all the money goes.

My coparent just chimed in from the other room, “‘Rikki don’t lose that number’ can go to hell!” but started off defending the band.

Their whole catalog grates my nerves, yet some of my favorite people are huge fans. It’s so weird.

NOTHING is lost by properly crediting individuals for the exact contributions they made. You list the entire executive suite who never touched a key and yet people who ground on the game for years are regulated to a "and they were also here." It's not hard. www.gamedeveloper.com/business/rid...

Ridgeline lead 'disappointed' in Battlefield 6 credits

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

The President is building an army to attack his own country.

Simple question because Tacoma Public Schools and Elements of Education have refused to provide a response:

Are adjunct instructors still being classified as independent contractors despite meeting the state and federal definitions of part-time employees?

Probably a good time to share this again.

In recent years, we have gotten calls on the GI Rights Hotline from service members concerned about having to police the US-Mexican border and/or police demostrations in the US. Others feel disturbed ...

We're back in court today fighting the Trump administration's relentless, unjust efforts to re-detain Mahmoud Khalil in retaliation for his advocacy for Palestinian human rights.

The government can’t punish someone just because they don’t like what they have to say.

Oh it’s not appropriate for your program to air the president wearing a crown and shitting on American citizens?

You’ll talk about it in euphemisms? Maybe call it the “crown video” and ignore the shitting part? Because that’s appropriate?

Tell me, was it appropriate for the president to do it?
