1/2 Things may seem awful, and you might think there's nothing you can do to help. But you can, even if it's a small thing.

World Central Kitchen shows up when things are awful and they feed people. That's it. That's what they do.

Just infuriating. GOP & MAGA are destroying businesses and communities. And even red states like NE are starting to feel the pain.

I'd forgotten that SCOTUS said this about Clinton's claim. Imagine that, the highest Court in the land saying #nokings.

Excellent piece by @katherinestewart.bsky.social in @newrepublic.com laying out the real agenda of Trump's "Anti-Christian Bias Task Force."

Hint: It's not about protecting all American Christians' rights or creating real religious liberty.
