Americans are struggling to pay for groceries — and they’re increasingly turning to buy now, pay later options to feed their families. From 2020 to 2024, food prices rose 24%, per USDA. www.cnbc.com/2025/04/26/a...

More Americans are financing groceries with buy now, pay later loans — and more are paying those bills late, survey says
Consumers are using buy now, pay later plans to pay for essentials such as groceries, as concerns around the economy grow.

When Roe was overturned while Democrats held the House, Senate, & White House, they sent fundraising emails instead of abolishing the filibuster & codifying Roe. It should be no surprise these establishment Dems are rolling over. They should be calling for a general strike.

Why is Trump waging a war on the Department of Education? Because he knows that his biggest enemies are educators and younger generations of learners who are unafraid to speak truth to power. Attacks on education are central to the fascist playbook.

Success should be shared, not hoarded by those at the top.
Billions in profits while your workers can't afford housing or groceries isn't success. That's called exploitation.

Joy was a singular presence in cable news because she gave young Black people practice. She let us put in our reps. Joy would go out of her way to find young Black talent and put them on her show; then, she put them in situations where they were treated like white talent. What that means is that she wouldn’t just find Black people to talk about “Black” issues; she’d find Black people and let them talk about any issue for which they had expertise.

Headline from The Inquirer. Philly is a 'rare' city where eviction filings dropped and stayed down. Here's why. Eviction Diversion Program helps Philadelphia's landlords and renters solve conflict to avoid evictions.

from “Parable of the Talents” by Octavia Butler
From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING
Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought.
To be led by a coward is to be controlled
by all that the coward fears.
To be led by a fool is to be led
by the opportunists who control the fool.
To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen.
To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies.
To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.
