Holidays lead to a significant amount of wasted food that ends up in landfills. To minimize this, create a plan to eat leftovers, donate them, & get creative in the kitchen. Bring the remaining food to one of the City's food scraps drop-off sites, where it will be composted. columbus.gov/foodwaste

Quite honestly, at this point if you’re in Congress, or a governor, or CEO, or whatever visible position of authority and this administration is NOT investigating you, then you’re probably doing it wrong.

But if there was a documentary about Epstein, Hank would probably appear in it as he is contractually obligated to be a talking head in every doc produced.

I have been reading “Dylan Goes Electric” by @elijahwald.bsky.social and have been struck by the parallels between his description of the “generations” battling in the early ‘60s folk and rock scenes and what we see happening now between old school Dems and more progressives. 1/5

Know this, @schumer.senate.gov — if you cave, we will not rest until you are primaried and wrested from your seat. When kids on SNAP aren’t being fed, we’re even more hungry for justice. New York has shown you the people’s power just days ago. You *could* join with us, still, and do the right thing.
