I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

I am trying to imagine the reaction of Joe Biden or Barack Obama had spoken to a Republican governor in this way at a public event.
I just can’t. None of us can.

Gov. Mills: I’ll comply with the state and federal laws
Trump: We are the federal law. You better do it because you’re not going to get any federal funds.
Gov Mills: See you in court

I always feel a little weird saying this is my favorite album because I only listen to it a couple times a year. I have to give it my full attention every time, in its entirety. This is more and more of a luxury as I get older. It is the perfect record. We're lucky to exist alongside it.
60 years ago today, John Coltrane recorded his masterpiece, "A Love Supreme." So that's what I'm compelled to listen to this evening & I invite anyone to do the same. @hystericalblkns.bsky.social @arbuscular.bsky.social

In his 1792 tract “The Rights of Man, Part 2,” Thomas Paine proposed a graduated tax in which the top marginal tax rate would be 100%. He pegged that top income at £20,000 per year. That would be roughly $4 million in today’s money.
This is an oligarchy.
The founders never intended people to have this much power… EVER
Stop the oligarchy

This piece of Chris's really touched me. Being in these places of power as a trans person, there's a temptation to feel, whatever you're doing, you're never doing enough.

NEW: Trans people centered themselves in a trans case before a very not trans court. Not only was Chase Strangio arguing Wednesday, but a trans plaintiff was in the courtroom, as were many other trans lawyers, journalists, and observers.

“And Soon-Shiong’s conscious pattern of détente with Trump has in fact recast the paper’s core identity to one of appeasement with an authoritarian madman. I am loath to affiliate with that identity in any way.”

Joe Biden has a moral, ethical responsibility to clear the federal death row
The Biden administration must do all it can to unwind the federal death penalty. Also: News on Texas's death penalty. And, for paid subscribers: Closing my tabs.

Philly Inquirer: Trump is a fucking criminal what the fuck are we doing here
God Bless Paul Davies and the @PhillyInquirer: "The only person who should withdraw from the race is Trump...There was only one person at the debate who does not deserve to be running for president. The sooner Trump exits the stage, the better off the country will be."
To serve his country, Donald Trump should leave the race | Editorial Board
Biden had a horrible night Thursday. But the debate about the debate is misplaced. The only person who should withdraw from the race is Trump.
