Hi Bluesky,
God just needs 17k followers to hit 600k. And then 66k more after that to hit 666k. That will be funny.

The world would be immensely better if more religions and their believers had even a tenth of the dedication the Sikhs do to doing good for people with no gatekeeping or expectations of anything other than "you are a fellow human in need and we can help you"
Folks, if you are hungry, please contact your local Sikh gurdwara. Or just show up for langar, which most gurdwaras do several times a week, for a free meal. Lots also do weekly or monthly drives giving out groceries.
No conversion necessary. Feeding anyone who is hungry is a key part of Sikhism.

A lady on TikTok has been calling churches pretending to be a mother with a baby who needs formula and several churches turned her away. But wouldn’t you know that when she called a Mosque (Islamic Center of Charlotte) they immediately said yes.

I just did an internet search for “Trump falls asleep in Oval Office” and found a couple stories from small left-leaning outlets and some foreign press.
Major American corporate media outlets or local news? Not so much.

Dem gains in this week's elections erased the inroads Trump made with non-white, young, and low-income voters in 2024. In fact, the R-to-D shift from 24 to 25 is double Trump's gains from 20-24. Claims of a GOP political realignment have been highly exaggerated

This is another reminder of how crucial it is to vote up AND down the ballot.
While not receiving much attention in the media, down-ballot positions are a critical line of defense against Trump-MAGA extremism.
Remember this as we head into an important election year in 2026.

1. JD Vance dismissed Tuesday's election as “a couple of elections in blue states.”
But there were significant contests around the country, including in purple and red states.
From coast to coast, voters rejected the MAGA agenda.

An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs.
Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.
Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.
Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

My “secret plan” to beat this supply shock? Stop creating it.
Roll back the tariff brinkmanship, restore a stable policy regime.
Less uncertainty → more investment → better supply → lower inflation and steadier jobs.
