Some things are beyond words.
The Trump administration told states that they must “immediately undo” any actions to provide full food stamp benefits to low-income families, in a move that added to the chaos surrounding the nation’s largest anti-hunger program during the government shutdown. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/09/b...

Watch this.

Open your eyes to this brutality.

ICE beats up, drags & abducts this disabled visually impaired man.

Now share this.

Everyone must see the brutality of this administration & ask themselves what they are doing to push back.

You have power.

Even sharing this video exerts that power.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.
Here’s video of the incident

Gee, I wonder why women are choosing to avoid men…it’s almost like you take our lives if your fragile ego is hurt or feels rejected ….

Men often ask me what they can do to help support women’s rights.

Signing this, to once and for all decriminalise abortion, would be a solid start.

Decriminalise abortion and make it a protected human right.
Women’s rights are under threat from the far right. Nigel Farage just called our current abortion provisions “utterly ludicrous” – and others in power are paying attention. A vote in Parliament could ...

Something spicy & delicious as a taco has gotten under Trumplestiltkin's thin tangerine skin. Seems the master of mean, juvenile nicknames can dish them out but when directed towards him, he can't take it, angrily calling it "nasty."🤣

'May' from 'The Months', Eliot Hodgkin, 1951. There's double hawthorn (may blossom), fragrant lily of the valley, magnolia stellata, a tiny red azalea, a head of rhubarb flower, broad beans and the first summer fruits and (I think) a thrush's egg.

Researchers found that the UK government could save billions if it scrapped the two-child limit, raised universal credit so people can afford the essentials and simplified the social security system. 🛒

Instead, the government is planning to cut disability benefits. ⬇️
