After a judge ordered Donald Trump to make SNAP payments, the wannabe king declared he will defy a court order and won't help people afford groceries.

my daughter needs to have an inhaler at school, and in order to have that, the school just needs her pediatrician to sign a form saying it is prescribed to her. so I called them and they are asking to be paid 50 DOLLARS TO SIGN THE FORM.
Fifty dollars. To sign a form saying the medication is hers.

Last night, my 11-year-old [future] stepdaughter brought me a book she’d read recently, shoved it in my face, and stood there until I took it. I guess I have a new reading assignment.

Nothing helps me with nausea more than cannabis. It’s almost unbelievable how effective and instantaneous the effects are.

Libraries are so cool. Whenever I'm away from home and need a place to hang out between things, I find a library. There's a bathroom, a water fountain, chairs, and I can read, meditate, use the computers, or just be, and no one tries me make me buy anything.

Big congrats to all the Democrats who voted for the bill forcing the sale of TikTok... to some of Trump's closest allies. Big brain stuff there, guys. Great move. 🙃
Anyway, remember how Twitter became a far-right cesspool after Musk bought it? That's what's going to happen to TikTok.

We have to figure out some method of national repentance and atonement because it’s not sustainable to have roughly half the nation be completely psychotic, we literally can’t afford to write off tens of millions of people, and we can’t let them avoid owning what they did or they’ll do it again.

A professor at Texas A&M taught… something related to gender that offended a student, who secretly filmed herself objecting. That video is picked up by TX legislators, who demand her firing, and now the dean and dept head have been fired.

Welcome to McCarthyism 2.0. The difference this time is that it’s not a relatively junior Senator doing it via committee hearings, but the White House doing it with full cooperation from virtually every arm of the federal and red state governments.
If you click through to the video, you’ll hear a young woman repeatedly telling a college professor that President Trump has declared that what the Professor had been teaching is illegal and she’ll be meeting with the head of the university about it.
It’s chilling and scary.

Every best-case scenario is a long shot right now, not just for the US, but for the human race. I am an organizer. I look for windows of possibility, and I aim at them. I don't settle into what seems likely or inevitable, and if everyone did, there wouldn't be any hope of getting out of any of this.

Ever wonder if the books at the library miss you when you’re not there? I have it on good authority that they do.
Maybe it’s time for a visit to get your next library haul? 📚😊♥️🙌🏻

I am 36 years old. All my life, I have hated yellow mustard. About a month ago, I accidentally ordered a burger without asking for no mustard. Lo and behold, I like mustard on burgers now and regularly order them with both ketchup and mustard. Who even am I?

Every tyrant in history has sought to stifle criticism of himself and his regime.
But America was founded on criticism.
American democracy was built on dissent.
Every institution, group, firm, or individual that surrenders to Trump’s wanton tyranny invites more of it.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting has been shut down and PBS has been defunded.
HOWEVER!!! PBS still exists. It is more important now than ever that you donate to PBS if you can.
