As Nov. 1 approaches, some state leaders are recommending that people turn to food banks or use their remaining benefits to buy non-perishable items.

Food banks say it will be impossible to fill the gap.

A freedom-loving people will not stand for the corruption and the power grabs we’re witnessing daily in our country. That's why millions of Americans took to the streets a few days ago, and it's why elections like the Virginia governor race will show the path to a better future a few days from now.

Yes. America is in trouble….
Imagine if in another country the president’s masked army racially profiled in opposition areas as he enriches himself (even raiding the treasury), oligarchs renovated a massive ballroom for him, and his unofficial top advisor said he won’t leave.

Is this how democracies end?

The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Except it doesn’t bend on its own—it bends because we pull it in the direction of justice. What keeps me hopeful during times like these is being surrounded by people who are doing just that.

Along with the whole Traverse City community, Chasten and I are shaken by the awful and senseless violence at Walmart earlier today. We’re thinking of everyone affected and hoping and praying for speedy recovery for all those who were injured.

There is no “right and just” way to pardon a pedophile to protect other pedophiles.

Maga idiots, THIS is what you voted for—a pedophile who will protect himself and other pedophiles by pardoning the woman who got them the little girls they raped. 🤬🤬🤬🤬 p

People who dismiss the ice raids dismiss them at their own peril. If it can happen to them, it happens to all of us. These are illegal seizures, and require due process.
