From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."
Oh wow @reuters.com got the photo here:

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Heads up: If you haven't read A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking by @tkingfisher.com (and frankly that's criminal in the first place) and you're on Audible, it's part of the 2 for 1 sale right now. You won't regret it.
It has a possibly sentient, probably murderous sourdough starter in it.

I am so pleased that I have FINALLY identified the song title and artist of a song that I heard YEARS ago, like 17 years ago, and have been trying to figure out what it was ever since. It’s I Make the Dough, You Get the Glory by Kathleen Edwards!

“Walmart was the top employer of SNAP recipients in five states and one of the top four employers in the remaining four states. McDonald’s was among the top five employers of Medicaid enrollees in five of six states and SNAP recipients in eight of nine states.”

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

i’ve posted some version of this many times so i finally decided to make my case for it: taxing the rich is not only good for us. it is good for them. having a billion dollars is like toxic waste for your soul. we can and should remove it from them. it’s the loving thing to do!

There is no logical reason for people to live like this. We should help them.
