Donate to Help Keep Our Neighborhood Pantry Stocked, organized by Celeste Headlee
In 2021, my neighbors and I installed a little free pantry on my front lawn,… Celeste Headlee needs your support for Help Keep Our Neighborhood Pantry Stocked
www.gofundme.com
I have a food pantry in my front yard. It is used heavily. We can't keep it full & could use some help covering the cost of shelf-stable supplies. No one is using this pantry unless they need the help. We supply beans, oatmeal, onions, etc. It's not gourmet food.

Ossoff: We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. It’s the wealthiest Cabinet ever. This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate.

So.... that's enough of that.

Still hasn't met its goal, which is SO disappointing. Please share this widely. The Good and Pretti families deserved every penny they got, but it's SO disappointing that the victims of color can't even come close to raising the same amounts for their families.
This man was murdered by an off-duty ICE agent and he has two young daughters who will not have the support of a father ever again. We can't raise even $300k for these girls?
Support a Black family during Black History Month!

Like many I know, I've changed my mind about gerrymandering and have come around to agree with Jamelle here. Conservatives have refused to ban the practice & won't be forced to do so until banning it will hurt the left.
on the balance i think partisan gerrymandering is bad but the only way it ends is if democrats weaponize it against republicans everywhere they can. wiping out republican lawmakers in blue states might bring the GOP to the table to end the practice.

"The group that should be in the streets has been bought off by Jay Z."
This is bleak: Jes Staley, currently CEO of Barclays, reassuring Epstein that popular revolt against financial elites is unlikely because capitalism and pop culture have defanged social movements, leaving people more invested in consumption than justice.

We have seen the same strategy with Abrego Garcia here in Maryland. When the administration is forced to release someone while the public is watching, they pursue that person down every possible avenue, using any tactic they can. They NEED to prove they were right by removing them.

TRIGGER WARNING, because here is a US Marshal from Trump‘s Gestapo Force in Memphis kicking a puppy today in the Whitehaven neighborhood and breaking its rib. They were serving a warrant and I guess BIG MAN got scared of the schnauzer.

![Case 1:24-CV-09429-KPF Document 227 Filed 02/05/26 Page 2 of 33
Feldman [wals not excused from this professional obligation [of verifying that the cases he submitted to the Court were valid] by dint of using emerging
technology." (Dkt. #169 at 4).
Mr. Feldman persisted. A few days prior to the Court's hearing on the
Order to Show Cause, Mr. Feldman submitted a proposed reply brief in further support of Affable's motion to dismiss. Once again, his brief contained false citations. And at the August 22, 2025 hearing, Mr. Feldman was unable to respond directly to, much less answer, the Court's questioning about his
submissions.
Mr. Feldman has not, and apparently cannot, learn from his mistakes.
And while the Court does not oppose the use of Al to assist in legal research
and writing, it must take a stand where, as here, counsel repeatedly files
submissions with false citations because counsel refuses to verify those
submissions. This Court can do no more. For the reasons that follow, the
Court sanctions Mr. Feldman pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11
and the Court's inherent powers by striking Affable's submissions and entering
default judgment against it.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ssxnmhdtz6le6nxu7jfhglz6/bafkreigeefuabd636ruucelhxav3v3p43dezhotggrwlgjgsev2z2ggev4@jpeg)
