Wisdom from Tressie McMillan Cottom and Judith Butler. I am guilty of trying to convince others of how bad things are, but totally agree that focusing on connecting and creating is a better use of my time.

My teen and I were listening to my Canes themed playlist that includes some Motley Crue songs (wild side, shout at the devil, kickstart my heart). She said how she likes their music. So I told her about just some of their lore/problematic history (and hair metal more broadly). Her reaction 😱🤯

In many respects this feels like a bigger deal than NYC/NJ/VA (not to detract from those important high profile victories).
So much of the “solid south” is actually “disenfranchised Black people”. Break that and the US electoral map looks very, very different.

NEW: Mississippi Democrats broke the Republican Party's supermajority in the state Senate tonight for the first time since 2011.
It came as Democrats flipped 2 Senate seats and 1 House seat.
“Mississippi just broke the supermajority—and the people have taken back their power,” the party says.

Let’s try this again. I should have clarified, they are free to a good home. 😊 Prefer local to RDU area so I don’t have to ship. Thx.
If anyone is interested in these Canes items please DM me. The pullover is size medium but runs big. The shirt (from 2002 I think) is XL & has several signatures including RBA, Erik Cole, Jeff O’Neal (sorry), Aaron Ward, Martin Gelinas. There are others that I can’t figure out. I’m original owner!

What the absolute fuck!?!?
The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email
