We budget $300 a month to buy food for hungry neighbors. We go to Costco and load up on canned goods & as much produce as we can afford. Groceries are more expensive now. For the first time since 2020, we've had to leave the pantry empty and watch people come to get food and go away empty-handed.
I have a food pantry in my front yard. It is used heavily. We can't keep it full & could use some help covering the cost of shelf-stable supplies. No one is using this pantry unless they need the help. We supply beans, oatmeal, onions, etc. It's not gourmet food.

This, in particular, is the kind of work that I am very grateful for—and I hope you feel proud of it too if you support public media.
I sat down with Michael Fanone and Daniel Hodges, who both defended the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021 and experienced some of the most brutal violence that day.
We watched their bodycam footage together - moment by moment.

Trump calls Jan 6 a “day of love.” This bodycam footage shows otherwise.

I loved this. And I want to note the whole “there were no autistic people before …” discourse has an answer here: just the people were sent away in the incarceration (yes “care homes” like this), and if they fled, they were just abandoned by society, usually to die.

A source familiar with Lindsey Halligan’s shenanigans on her signature block issue: “it’s like the equivalent of having something in your teeth… But no one likes you enough or cares about you enough to tell you.”
Not for the first time, the signature block for Self-Proclaimed U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia Lindsey Halligan spelled it “Virgina.”

The Republican governors threatening action against NY if Mandan wins are quite strange. I’ve never seen such desperation from people who have absolutely nothing to do with NY and have no jurisdiction.

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.
"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

I keep thinking of the Pleasure Island episode in the Disney movie Pinocchio. The foolish children are led to a place where they can misbehave to their hearts’ content. Reality catches up when they are turned into donkeys. Not a bad metaphor for what Trump has done to Americans.

Ten long years of being gaslighted, condescended to, lied to, scoffed at, having your concerns minimized, all the while being incredibly conscious that we are all being boiled alive in this stew that is changing everything I once held dear into a macabre pseudo version of it.

Excuse my language but what fucking business is it of the united states government whether Brown undertakes this kind of medical care for parents and their kids who fully consent to it and desire it? Insanity! Pure discrimination in an agreement trollingly cloaked in preventing discrimination.
