As I always do with boycotts, I urge: be tough with corporations, gentle with individual buyers. For some people, Black Friday sales are the way they get their kids jackets that fit, shoes that hold up to the weather. Yelling at them doesn’t help the cause.

DOGE is not really gone, it’s just been made standard operating procedure now. Please stop celebrating DOGE ‘ending’ as a ‘win.’ It’s not. Their cuts have already killed 600,000 people. Elon stole all your data. Don’t fall for the clickbait.

Remember when we were all about taking down terrorists and the networks that financed them?
Now they get red carpet treatment at the White House, presidential pardons and investment opportunities with America.
Times sure have changed.

The Shocking Truth About Gen Z Voters Is That They’re Pretty Great
Stop panicking: They are the most progressive generation ever, especially on race. If that surprises you, you’ve been listening to the wrong story.

Why do the emails exist? Because to the people concerned there was nothing wrong with the whole thing. This was a normal part of their privileged lives.
We need to keep perspective: the big picture is *far worse* than the detail.

There’s a young southern woman on tt doing an experiment: calling churches & asking if they can help her get baby formula, saying she can’t afford it. Of the 30+ she’s called, nearly every church has said no. The ones who said yes were:
Black Baptist Churches
A Mosque
A small Appalachian church

The VA and NJ governor wins are particularly notable: both states now have veteran/intelligence community governors (Spanberger-CIA, Sherrill-Navy) who delivered trifectas.
Purple-state Dems winning with service-credentialed candidates + down-ballot gains = a replicable model.

The oligarchy came out in full force against Zohran Mamdani's fight for a more affordable NYC.
It didn't matter.
Let his victory in the face of Big Money serve as a reminder that people have the power.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

This is such a great callout…
Does your Christian church have a plan to help the community when SNAP benefits don’t go out in November?
If not, you’re at the wrong church.
