Inflation is so bad Americans are counting on Black Friday just to afford groceries and everyday essentials
"Black Friday is still a make-or-break moment for retailers, but shopper behavior is shifting," says Lightspeed Commerce founder and CEO Dax Dasilva.

Hello! This is an important one, so it won’t be the last time I post it. The Land Defenders on Hunters Mountain are gearing up for winter. They are resolute. But they need supplies, they are winterizing the cabins they built, there is food and firewood and gas for generators needed.

Some states got full benefits out after the courts ordered them to. The White House is saying that was illegal. But it would also be illegal to claw back those benefits. The net result is that some SNAP users got full benefits, and some did not depending on how aggressively their state acted.

HOT LIBRARY INTEL: you can ask your library to purchase specific titles for their collection, usually right through the library's website.
Librarians can't know every single new title, nor can they mind-read what their patrons might want to check out. Give it a shot!

Lots of hard, shitty lessons being learned from this presidency. And one of the many I hope you're learning is, white supremacy is incompatible with reality, and cannot exist without historical revisionism.
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

We hit our 100th $5 donation last night so I’ll be making the $500 matching donation as promised in the next day or two. If anyone else would like to join me in my matching donation I wouldn’t say no 😛 desertbus.org
And thanks to everyone who’s donated so far! We’re already over $5000!!! 🥳

And to spice it up just a little bit, I will match the first 100 donations of $5USD exactly that are made before the start of the run. Obviously it’ll be great if we get more, but I figure that’s likely what my goof would have cost me 😃.
So head over to desertbus.org and get those $5 donations in!

Pressure works! Please keep calling, emailing and mailing your representatives and demanding they oppose these bills and any other associated policies!
So what can you do? 🤔
1. Continue pressuring your lawmakers, let them know how unpopular and dangerous censorship and surveillance bills are.
2. Spread the word! Many people have no idea the internet they know and love is under threat.
