I live on land once home to the Choctaw. As someone of Irish descent, this connection lives and breathes inside my heart. For 18 years, this land has challenged, nurtured, and sustained my soul. I don't feel I own it -- certainly not its spirit. I am honored to belong to it, in reciprocity.

Remember: It ys okaye to be lonely. It ys okaye to feel lost. It ys okaye to be sad. It ys okaye to have no plannes or just small plannes. It ys okaye to have big plannes that seem exhausting. It ys okaye to be a mess. Take care of thyself. Thou art amazinge.

I don't want a *rebate* from the government.

I want our democracy back.

You can commandeer every umbrella and then call the weather rain, but the people are gonna know that you're just pissing on them.
Leavitt claims the administration is complying with SNAP-related court orders but warns that "the recipients of these SNAP benefits need to understand it's going to take some time to receive this money because the Democrats have forced the administration into a very untenable position."

The reason SNAP costs "exploded" starting in 2021 was because USDA implemented a change to the calculation of how much families should spend on food each month. This change was mandated by Congress in the farm bill that passed... in 2018, when Trump was president.

We our countdown to Halloween with some of my favourite spooky, frightening, or unusual portraits. This terrifying creature was originally drawn in 2023.

This…..erm…well it belongs to the wonderfully lovely Jo Hawley.

I don’t know what he’s called, but I’ve named him Walter Shipdown.

So many people have Trump wrong. What he wants is not Yeltsin's Russia, Orban's Hungary or Hitler's Germany. I've studied him for a decade and can tell you that if his dreams come true, America will most resemble the Hermit Kingdom—North Korea—with Trump as Kim Jong-un and the rest of us in poverty.

I just want to say to all those who believed the East Wing needed an upgrade -- they could have moved it. They could have preserved the structure and relocated it.

I am not fond of liars, but the most detestable kind are the ones who treat you like you're too stupid to know they're lying.

I mean, if you're gonna tell a lie, make it a smart one.

"Pablo" is picking oranges in Woodlake, CA. He shares, "We fill around 5 bins in a 6 hour work day. The work is very hard on the bodies as they have to go up and down a 16 foot ladder while carrying a sack of oranges that weighs 60lbs-80 lbs." #WeFeedYou

Trump can simply give $40 billion in US tax money to his pals in Argentina, openly admit it is for the intended purpose of keeping the MAGA allied right wing government in power, and pocket billions for himself. The US has no laws anymore and that's your money they are stealing.
