Rep. Rosa DeLauro: "On the food stamp issue, the money is there! Let them not get away with saying they can't do it. Their political will isn't there to feed the people who rely on the SNAP program which is the most effective anti-hunger program in the USA."

I like how Zohran Mamdani scandals are like "He called his old cousin his aunt one time" and Andrew Cuomo scandals are like "He sexually assaulted 13 women."

The president had a MRI but won't say why.

He had bruises on his hands but wouldn't say why.

He just had an 'annual medical' even though he already had his annual medical.

He got shot in the ear but has never released the medical records relating to it.

How is any of this ok?

NEW: The full Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has agreed to rehear arguments on whether to block President Trump from taking control of 200 Oregon National Guard troops.

This is good news. Military troops have no place on our streets.

And by the way, we're done here, this time for good. I still believe those who refuse to help the starving, needy, and sick are pure evil. I'm still donating aid, I'm still going to try and have those conversations.
You will continue to do whatever the hell you do.
Have a good life, Huck.

Sure there was. I also believe there was hatred towards them.
You can stop acting like empathy is evil. Every good tool can be used for evil, that doesn't inherently make the tool evil.
I will continue to live by my experiences, and by my empathy. You aren't changing my mind.

Things are so mean-spirited right now, this made me tear up. In the gratuitously cruel age of Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, and Mike Johnson, it's comforting to be reminded that there still are decent human beings that walk amongst us. Thank you, Heretic Coffee in Portland.

In 1946 there were people in Germany and Poland who said "we didn't know".

Today no one can say they didn't know, you can only say you didn't care.

Things are about to get worse for our neighbors. Donate whatever you can to your local food bank. Check in on your neighbors. Now is the time to come together as communities and take care of each other.

Louisiana’s worst whooping cough outbreak in decades: 387 cases, 2 infant deaths.

After Surgeon General Ralph Abraham paused vaccine promotion, cases surged and the public was left in the dark.

Antivaxx politics cost lives.

Nice article from @rosemarywestwood.bsky.social

Louisiana officials waited months to warn public of whooping cough outbreak

After a whooping cough outbreak killed two infants, Louisiana health officials waited months to officially alert physicians or do public outreach. That's not the typical public health response.

Apparently producing things like EVIDENCE and VIDEO of wrong doing by federal trumpers will not do much at all, even when it effects kids playing or simply trying to go to a party.

To all those “Let them go without food for a month, maybe they’ll get a job” people: Most SNAP recipients have jobs. Exploitative jobs that keep them living just below the poverty line. — Should they starve to death? And then what?

Houston, Texas ICE GOONS hospitalized a 16-year-old U.S. citizen on his way to school. The teen, a star football and soccer player, was violently detained alongside his father. Despite his cries for help, “I’m underage!” the agents tackled him, resulting in severe neck and back injuries.
