Someone asked if I have been shadowbanned on here, because they haven’t seen my posts for weeks.

I am not shadowbanned, I’ve just been quiet on socials and substack.

I’ve focusing on teaching and navigating the fallout from my firing from @washingtonpost.com — it’s been psychologically hard.

It's at FFC in Chicago. There's actually nothing online about it, I think one or more of the trainers just puts up fliers that say X class is free if you bring proof of a donation to our local food pantry www.gobeyondhunger.org They have had successful food and clothes drives too
Beyond Hunger | Providing Hunger Relief in Our Community
Beyond Hunger’s mission is to work together as a community to reduce hunger locally through direct hunger relief services, hunger awareness education, and advocacy to influence anti-hunger policy.

Feeling the feminine urge to block any and all Dem fundraising texts
Truth. Yet Schumer pledges: "We will keep fighting." No.

We fought and won battles for them on Tuesday, only to be betrayed on Sunday.

We the people (and some of us a lot more than others) are tired of being betrayed by corporations, media, and the representatives who don't represent us.
Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis

For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare

We will keep fighting

These people dont understand that in many parts of the country, people really do think the Democrats are to blame for what’s happening— thanks to effective propoganda.
