It makes my blood boil that they conflate hating Trump / MAGA & the destruction we are all witnessing to hating America. Dissent IS patriotic it is the First Amendment to the Constitution!

It'd really be nice to start organizing nodes about saving libraries. Bc that'd engage a lot of people who otherwise might not come out.
MORE: Libraries in several states have received letters which claim to cancel federal IMLS grants.
Congress MUST act to restore this funding. Read our full statement: www.ala.org/news/2025/04...
Use your voice - call Congress to protect & restore library funding: bit.ly/CallCongressForLibraries

Not being allowed to hand water to people in line to vote no matter who they are voting for, while being allowed to hand people million dollar checks to get their vote, is the most American thing ever.

There’s a directory of Black farmers: “The Black Farmers Index.”
Buy and uplift local. Many are small-scale specialists and located in urban areas. I found an organic resource in my area that I will definitely check out.

Not holding townhalls because constituents are pissed off is the civic equivalent and stopping testing because that way the COVID numbers can't go up.

So increasing the minimum wage to a livable wage is “socialism”?
But Amazon union busting, keeping wages low, and forcing workers onto public assistance while its founder increases his net worth by $7.9M an hour is the "free market"?
Perhaps this could be a WaPo opinion piece.

Here’s the hard truth: this country’s people are tired of subsidizing billionaires. Want your cars to sell? Do it without subsidies. Want to shoot rockets into space? Get by without govt contracts. Want to build a website? Build your own internet first.

DO NOT FEED YOUR PETS RAW FOOD.
A batch from Wild Coast Pet Foods came as "non-negative" for #H5N1, which means it is probably positive, but it needs to be confirmed at the CDC as well.
Cats are dying, and the virus keeps mutating. Not worth the risk. Once again, do not feed your pets raw food.

It's interesting that MAGA has a problem with pronouns and people calling themselves something they're not, that cost the government ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, while changing the name of a centuries-old body of water that will end up costing taxpayers and consumers to update.
