Great job, @schumer.senate.gov. You've changed the story from "GOP hurting millions of Americans to please unpopular, failing, delusional despot who's destroying his party" to "Dems are too weak and divided in the face of Trump's strength to take a stand and protect Americans"

This is the message of a failed, feckless, and leaderless party. We need a party with backbone, and the only path to it is through a cleansing primary season. If your Dem is up for reelection, and you aren't damn sure they're fighting the fascists with everything they've got, primary the bastard.

if you are food insecure for both the humans and pets in your household there is a tool called Pet Help Finder that can help locate pet food banks nearby and other free or reduced price assistance and supplies for pets.
no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, should have to give up their pet bc of this.

This is defying a court order, which is, guess what, illegal. Trump wants Americans to starve.

The green is the main bsky load balancer traffic throughput from Saturday night, and the purple is how much traffic there was 7 days before (the previous Saturday)
The spike is due to the world series - pretty incredible! ⚾

This is election interference. This is electoral fraud. And yes, this is illegal.

Other promises to myself: for every Current Events post I will post at least one thing that makes me smile (see the repost of the night sky I made just now for an example). It's important to remember that even when things are hard - and things ARE hard, no question - there's good stuff too.

Today is the first day of the first week in November (for about half the world anyway). I am recommitting myself to a long-held goal of being able to run a marathon someday.
Step one (literally): getting used to distance walking again. 5k done just now. We will see how this goes - wish me luck!

Seeing the size of this thread, with places all over the U.S., was a warm hug on a cold night.
🧵Thread of cafes, restaurants, bars, bagel joints, etc offering free meals to SNAP recipients, for those who might need it, & so those who don't can give 'em their business.
If you know of such offers in your area & don't see them here, please tell us in @'s.
