Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

It turns out that the 'God and Country' MAGA Americans who accuse people like me of being hateful have very little love for the wide, sprawling, disparate community of human beings whose theology and politics do not align completely with their own.

Where Is this "Line" for Immigrants?
So many discussions about undocumented migrants have MAGAs declaring “I don’t have a problem with immigration, but they should get in line like everyone else.”

9 months after Hurricane Helene, food scarcity is still real in western North Carolina
The town of Swannanoa is a mess after Helene. Some businesses may never reopen — including the only grocery store. "Swannanoa is a food desert," says the head of a nonprofit that brings in fresh food.

His attacks on large law firms are cutting off the litigation lifeline for nonprofit public-interest groups who are challenging his policies — which is exactly why he’s doing it.

this stuff is happening across the country and even more intensively downstream of the veterans admin but it's happening in so many places at once and without any public notification that it's still only barely emerging in the news
A friend drove two hours today for her breast cancer chemotherapy only to learn it was canceled due to NIH cuts. Clinical trial ended midstream. No treatment, no restart, no plan, no information. Her bro-in-law's chemo was also canceled.
