From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

I have a severe coffee addiction and it’s bad because I’ve been going to buy a coffee almost every day and I’m poor lol… so anyway I bought some pumpkin creamer for my coffee at home to hopefully stop myself from going to the coffee shop. It’s yummy. 😋

I usually just read by myself and I think that’s how I can focus the best. I do like when my family is reading in the house with me though.

Mass market paperbacks are my favorite. Or any physical book really. Library hardbacks are great too! #booksky #BookishQOTD

What's your preferred reading medium? Be as specific as you want!! (i.e. if you like hardbacks, do you like leather bound, cloth bound, etc. more?)

THEYRE CLOSING THE PUBLIC LIBRARIES IN THIS SYSTEM TO BAN BOOKS BECAUSE THE SECRETARY OF STATE TOLD THEM TO.

This is a big fucking story. They won't be the only ones.
The Rutherford County Library System in Tennessee is temporarily closing two branches in order to remove books from them.

Why? Because the Secretary of State told them to do it, citing laws and Executive Orders that undermine the Constititon.

Australia has so much solar that it's offering everyone free electricity
Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

I’m doing a traveling journal with my best friend and a couple other friends and these are the first two pages I’ve decorated. I have to do a lot more before it’s time to send it. I can’t wait to see the other journals.

If you stop buying yourself a pastry once a week, you’ll be able to afford a house after you’re dead.
“At the same time, more than half of Gen Z members say they are struggling to make ends meet, yet a majority buy themselves a small treat, such as a pastry, coffee, or sweet, at least once a week. That can lead to overspending…”

One fact to add: SNAP benefits have been maintained in every previous shutdown. This is a choice they have made, not an inevitability.

If you need to find your local food bank or community fridge—to give or receive support—I've linked national resources as well as NY and LA specific resources in this note.

Also, lots of links to support kids' understanding of food insecurity and ways they can participate in community care.

Not only are they blaming immigrants and trans people for the shutdown, they’re telling you that mothers and babies are the priority while they do absolutely nothing to protect mothers & babies.

They could fund SNAP.

They’re choosing not to.

They could protect healthcare.

They’re choosing not to
This is a new low. The @usdagov.bsky.social official website is blaming transgender individuals, undocumented workers, & @democrats.senate.gov for the possible loss of SNAP benefits during Trump's shutdown.

Democrats want to prevent Healthcare price hikes!
