Americans are having to adapt to the biggest price jump on groceries in 50 years thanks to Donald Trump. And instead of helping you, he’s adding more tariffs, more gas price hikes, and more chaos at home.

In 2016 I spent a month at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. They saved my life, taught me to walk and dress myself again. Among my caregivers were several Ethiopians -- kind, caring, the most genuine Christians I have ever met. God help us if we reject those people.

I was born in 1956. My parents were Baptist fundamentalists, dominionists. I was taught to Catholic church with the Antichrist. We celebrated when the pope died. I was not allowed to play with Catholic children. I could say more but... Why?

My grandparents on one side were Sooners, jumping the line to homestead in Indian Territory. My dad's people were dirt poor sharecroppers. He went off to WWII, came back and tried to sell insurance. Mostly he drifted from job to job, fighting PTSD and poverty.

Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."

Influencers made millions pushing ‘wild’ births – now the Free Birth Society is linked to baby deaths around the world
A year-long investigation reveals how mothers lost children after being radicalised by uplifting podcast tales of births without midwives or doctors As Esau Lopez was asphyxiated for the first 17 minutes of his life on Earth, the atmosphere in the room remained serene, even ecstatic. Acoustic music crooned from a speaker in a modest two-bedroom apartment in a suburb of Pennsylvania. “You are a queen,” murmured one of three friends in the room. Only Esau’s mother, Gabrielle Lopez, felt something was wrong. She was pushing hard, but her son would not be born. “Can you help [him] out?” she asked, as Esau crowned. “Baby is coming,” the friend replied. Four minutes later, Lopez asked again, “Can you grab [him]?” Another friend murmured, “Baby is safe.” Six minutes passed. Again, Lopez asked, “Can you grab [him]?” Continue reading...

Pritzker and Newsom are making themselves frontrunners. They are taking on the administration. Do I want better candidates? Sure. Can I create them? Can I push a progressive to confront authoritarianism credibly and with strength/results? That seems not to be a skill I have.

We're all headed under the bus now... I campaigned hard for a strong progressive last time. And then voted to save democracy. I don't like Newsom. I also don't want to live in a country run by Stephen Miller.

If the next presidential election is between Gavin Newsom and Donald Trump or JD Vance, are you sitting it out? I'm not a Newsom supporter, just someone who watched a lot of people sit out the last election and now instead of an imperfect president, we're facing fascism.

This graph is astonishing. The people that bang on about “natural birth” and “women have been doing this forever without help” need to be forced to stare at this until their eyes water.
Graph of maternal mortality rate against year for the UK. Rate bounces until and down around 500 deaths per 100,000 births until about 1940, when it falls sharply. It’s been very low (~1–3 per 100,000) ever since.

my dudes there's no such thing as "too late" to regulate AI, that's a fake idea. AI models aren't untouchable data gods, they're algorithms hosted in cloud storage. Saying we can't regulate AI is like saying we can't deplatform Child P*rn bc "it's already out there". Like, 1s and 0s can be deleted

TNR is destroying the bird population of our neighborhood. I can plant natives for cover and food until I am green, but when feral cats start feeding on the local bird population, the result is devastating. The really painful thing is knowing this is happening everywhere. TNR is murder for birds.

My Kingdom and more for anyone to realize that awarding yourself a government contract is not a conflict of interest. It's corruption. When the bank teller takes the money out of the cash drawer and puts it in his pocket that's not a conflict of interest either.

You literally cannot tell this incredibly cool part of American history without centering Native American identity. It is an powerful demonstration of how diversity provided tangible military advantages over an enemy committed to White supremacy. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/whitewashi...
As the U.S. entered World Wars I and II, the military needed an efficient means of protecting its radio, telephone, and telegraphic messages from enemy intelligence. During this time, many Native Americans joined the armed forces and had a unique skill that would prove instrumental to the war effort. Each Native American tribe had their own language and dialect that few outside the tribes understood, many of which were not written down.

Before their arrival in France during World War I, the Germans had broken every American code used, resulting in the deaths of many U.S. Soldiers. However, the Germans never broke the Native Americans’ “code,” and these Soldiers became affectionately known as Code Talkers.
