If you have cold air coming under your door, this cute door snake will help keep the cold air out, and the heat in. Just lay along the base of your door. Works on window ledges too. Wash & dry. Many more also available. Makes a nice gift. debbiecrochets.etsy.com/listing/4393...

I am shooting my shot.

I love writing op-eds.

@teenvogue.com was my main outlet, but if there are any others (especially independently ran) that are looking for a contributing writer on race, gender, and the economy, I'd love to work with you.

Signed,

I’m so proud of my daughter in Seattle.

She doesn’t have much money (she’s a preschool teacher with a preschooler of her own) but she has a big bag of Costco flour — so she’s baking sourdough bread and cinnamon rolls every week for people in her neighborhood who are furloughed or lost SNAP…

Read every word & share with everyone you know. This is real life here in Chicago. Americans need to know this grotesque reality & stand with us.
Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

In under 1600 words.

The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald (1982 by Frederick Stonehouse) is probably the definitive printed work: archive.org/details/wrec...
This two hour video is also fantastic & includes Stonehouse.

Gordon Lightfoot’s 1976 song is also a major piece of the lore.

If you do one thing today, read and share this link. It is the tech oligarchs’ plan to take over the government and build a post-democratic America, proven to be well underway.

To understand the tech bros, we must think like them—they view our democracy as an outdated system that must be replaced:

Remember Rev. David Black, the Chicago pastor who was shot in the head with pepper balls? If you haven't heard him speak yet, listen to this.

@governor.pa.gov Governor Shapiro is on fire calling out the bullshit story and cruelty of JD Vance. Listen up and spread the word. And if you support that MFer Vance, go 🖕off #DV1 #DemsUnited

Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

I'm here outside Speaker Johnson’s office because he is starving families and gutting health care to cover up the Epstein Files.

If the top 1% was representative of the rest of us, they wouldn’t be the 1%. THIS is who makes laws & government. They own BOTH parties who have ALWAYS worked for them. But in 2010, Citizens United injected STEROIDS into oligarchy rule with unlimited campaign donations. In 2025 - authoritarianism.

🚨 NEW AD! 🚨

Not for our election. But for the election next Tuesday.

Right wing billionaire Leonard Leo is pouring money into Question 1, which would shred absentee voting in Maine.

But our movement is fighting back.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.
