On TikTok there's a woman doing a fairly clever social experiment. She's calling churches around the US and asking if they can help her get formula for her baby. She tracks on a spreadsheet which ones say yes. It makes me wish we could strip religious tax exemption from orgs that fail their values.

Trump got his wish to starve Americans. The Supreme Court has allowed the Trump administration to temporarily withhold portions of SNAP payments for November. Huge thanks to the states and workers who rushed to process benefits before the ruling came down, not all heroes wear capes!

In a way, I find the authoritarian takeover of our media system even more disturbing than the authoritarian takeover of our political system.
Our political system has been failing basically my entire adult life. But, the media system provided accountability and sort of worked. Now it’s collapsing.

There’s no longer any black women or trans people at Teen Vogue.
This was a publication that listened to young voices, had progressive political views and frequently reported on things other outlets were too cowardly to touch.
Disgusting example of capitulating to the regime & ruining a brand!

I'm sick and at the doctor's office. They wanted me to fill out an arbitration form.
I asked the receptionist if this is legally required to sign to see a doctor.
She said yes so I asked for the documentation that legally requires for it.
She brings me a doctor instead.

As the pressure continues to build, some people who call themselves allies, will wilt. Try not to be sad. Tolerating people is not allyship. If you are only an ally when you are being praised, but go full bigot when questioned, we know what you are. It's what you believe when no one is around.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.
