I wonder if, with this high concentration of plastic in all of us, we will all just be an earth sized Pompeii for the millennia ahead to shake their heads at.

SNAP has existed for 60 years. Benefits have gone out every single month over those six decades, including during government shutdowns. Until now.
Make no mistake: The money is available to fund SNAP during this shutdown. Trump is making a choice to withhold it.
Don’t forget this.

Joy on the glorious #NoKings protests in LA
I've been stunned by the maddeningly out-of-whack portrait of Los Angeles being presented to the world, so I wrote an on-the-ground report from some of the vibrant, riot-free local protests this weekend www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/st...
In Los Angeles, So Much of the Protest Narrative Has Felt Wrong. Saturday Was a Corrective
After a week of watching a fun-house-mirror version of their city in global media, thousands of Los Angeles residents took to the streets on Saturday.

To fund Trump’s expiring tax cuts for the wealthy, the GOP is proposing a massive $715 billion cut to Medicaid. They’re calling it reform, but make no mistake: it’s just another transfer of wealth from those who have the least to those who have the most.
The Real MediScam
Republicans are lying about what’s driving their Medicaid cuts

Thursday May 1st is May Day which supports workers.
Greyhound refuses to allow non-warrant searches on their buses. These searches impede on human rights, scare passengers and exposes workers to dangerous scenarios.
Thank you for not backing down! 💙💪👏
