"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

1. First, the idea that immigrants are prone to criminality has ALWAYS been used to argue against immigration and has never been true. Immigrants - especially undocumented ones - are consistently vastly more law-abiding than the general population. nij.ojp.gov/topics/artic...

I interviewed Aftyn Behn, who is running in a special election in TN7 — if you know anyone in the district, please remind them to vote for Aftyn.

She has a real shot to flip the congressional seat. @aftynbehn.bsky.social

GUARDIAN: “Per head, 🇺🇸 output is six times China’s, and yet, inexplicably, there seem to be more abjectly poor Americans than Chinese. 🇺🇸 inequality is breathtaking… keeps getting worse…”

Wanting to address this isn’t radical.

NOT wanting to is.

Capitalism is filthy n antihuman as it feeds greed to the exclusion of all else, papering over bloody footprints with deception n slick promotion
12:25 Trish • • Follow 2d • G Imagine finding out a company feeding millions of families... a company that has cans sitting in your cabinet and mine right now... had an executive caught on a secret recording saying their products are basically "sht for fcking poor people." Saying the meat was "bioengineered" and comparing it to chicken from a 3-D printer. Like quality doesn't matter because of who they think is buying it. Because this isn't just about soup. It's about how companies talk about us when they think we won't hear them. It's about the quiet belief that poor people don't deserve quality... or honesty... or real food on the shelves our kids choose from. And I'm sorry... but when did we stop being people. When did feeding struggling families become an open invitation to cut corners. When did it become acceptable to hide ingredients and shrug because "they'll eat it anyway". We are not disposable. We are not less deserving. We are not bodies to be filled with whatever is cheapest to produce. We are parents and workers and caretakers trying to survive a world that already makes every basic human need feel like a luxury. This isn't about being poor. This is about being human. Because the second a company decides one group is worth less and the second they decide transparency doesn't apply to "those people" it becomes inhumane. Enough. Enough acting like people with less money somehow deserve less food, less truth, less dignity. I'll never buy Campbell's again and either should you because THIS is what we stand for.

Was a joy visiting the Ethel MacLeod Hart Senior Center with Meals On Wheels to share warm, healthy meals ahead of Thanksgiving.

California will always lead with service and dignity for our older adults — lifting up programs that build community year-round.

Reminder of who the real threat was, and who the threat has never been.

Maybe today should be a day of atonement.

Remember when he mocked everyone else for being “low energy”? Look at him now.

Nodding off, slurring, and cutting his days short because he cannot keep up. The myth of unstoppable Trump is long gone.

The X platform now has a new tool that promotes scrutiny about the origin of X accounts.

I've noticed lately that more trolls are invading Bsky. This same feature that X has so members can check an account's country of origin would be super helpful to weed out the bad guys from causing harm here.

There must be zero tolerance for violence — of any kind — against the brave men and women in uniform who selflessly serve our communities and our country. The shooting of National Guard members in Washington, D.C. is horrific and unacceptable.

Post from Pete Buttigieg that reads: As a military officer, I was repeatedly trained on the law concerning illegal orders. Now, veterans citing this law have been targeted by the president with threats of prosecution and death - because they oppose him politically. If the government acts against them, it will further display President Trump's thirst for the one thing our Republic cannot abide: tyranny.

🚨 NEW/EXCLUSIVE: The FBI turned over dozens of emails to me in response to my #FOIA request that provides a behind-the-scenes look at discussions involving the review and redaction of the Epstein files

www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...
Email says We are prepared to receive boxes tomorrow, as NY agents are travelling to WFO in the morning, and vill arrive to Winchester where they will start photographing and we will start scanning and processing the physical files. Once I see the volume, I'|l have a better estimate of processing times, although 1 suggest we do a rolling delivery to further demonstrate the FBIls commitment to delivery and transparency.
