Donald Trump has asked his employees on the Supreme Court to overrule lower court orders demanding that he fulfill his duties to feed Americans who are due SNAP benefits
AND
He's demanding that states which just rushed to fill the vacuum created by his cruelty "undo" that work.

NEW: The Trump admin told states it must immediately "undo" the work to provide full food stamp benefits, or face penalties. The feds sent this in a late-night memo, only adding to the chaos and confusion around SNAP. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/09/b...

NEW: breach of Discord age verification data.
Including some users passports & DLs
Age verification is a badly implemented data grab wrapped in a moral panic.
Mark my words, as age verification mandates expand, we'll end up more surveilled and less secure. 1/

It is natural to feel despair in times of strife, in times of fear. Do not be ashamed of it, but do not give it a welcoming home, either. Show it the door before it becomes too entrenched. Replace it with resolve, however you can.

If you ban Calvin and Hobbes you’re a straight up fascist son of a bitch and that’s that
How profoundly sad. The kids deprived of reading Calvin and Hobbes are the kids who need them the most. My brother put it best: "We know we’re fucked when they come for your cartoon stuffed tigers."
Let's go sit in the grass and crack open "The Days are Just Packed."

When Teddy Roosevelt was called disloyal for criticizing Wilson’s conduct of WWI, he said “to announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
Pretty bizarres, seeing as how they spent that last four years worrying about WW3 rather than getting behind the President (Biden) on Ukraine.

A lone voice speaking truth may be drowned by a cacophonous enemy. But when true warriors stand together, add their voices to a chorus, the words gain the power to sweep away any perfidious clamor. Today of all days, add your voice, warriors, and sing for what's right.

The Congressional Budget Office said the sweeping Republican bill to cut taxes and slash federal programs would add $2.4 trillion to the national debt over the next 10 years. Fewer services for the American people, but yet more debt.
