Huge corporations like Amazon, Walmart, and Uber are among the top employers of SNAP and Medicaid recipients. Meanwhile, their CEOs are raking in multi-million dollar pay packages. How is this not a bigger scandal?

It’s impossible to calculate how much of what I’ve been able to accomplish is because of women like Gloria Steinem. Rest in power. www.npr.org/2026/09/03/n...
npr.org
Gloria Steinem, trailblazing journalist and activist, dies at 92
At a time when women were largely limited to domestic roles, Steinem challenged gender stereotypes and championed feminist ideals like equality, sisterhood and reproductive freedom.

Gloria Steinem died with fewer rights than she had during her lifetime. That fact needs to be front and centre of every media report, every dedication, every discussion of her death.

You’ve got to see this. Angie Nixon’s Café Resistance is so much more than a bookstore. It’s a community hub offering FREE tutoring, a food pantry, Black history classes, mentorship, mental health workshops, music lessons, healthcare resources and more.

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs. A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which was gutted last year. If Bezos can spend $500M on a yacht, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

I know @jimmyfallon.bsky.social is too weak to address this sufficiently, but I'd really like to know why he thinks celebrating a man who was found liable — by a jury — for raping a woman makes for a cool bro guest. Is Jimmy Fallon okay with rape? If so, what does that say about him?

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

A romance cartoon for the @theguardian.com
A large Regency house. Two sisters named Emilia and Charlotte talk on an upper floor.
"Mister Blackwell has come to call again." says Emilia as she looks out of the window "Oh, how I despise his uncouth manners and electric bicycle!"

Charlotte says "Sister, you will end up a spinster if you insist on a historically accurate suitor." 
and continues "The romance novel has changed, Emilia, and so must we."

Emilia replies "Easy for you to say. You are engaged to the richest werewolf in the county!"

They are walking through the house.

Charlotte says "Look at Cousin Lucy: She is quite plain, yet made a most advantageous match with the dragon queen of nalthrax."

"True." says Emilia opening the door.

The tall, solid figure of Miuster Blackwell stands at the door wearing a top hat and tailcoat:
"Ladies, I triumphed In my ice hockey match and won ten thousand a year in sponsorship! Miss Emilia, will you be my bride?" he is holding a hockey stick.

Emilia swoons into Charlotte's arms.

They knew this policy was so unconstitutional that they kept the “legal memo” authorizing this practice hidden, wouldn't let physical copies of it circulate, and a whistleblower had to alert Congress about its very existence.
Screenshot of a post by Acyn quoting an exchange between Lyons and Senator Blumenthal. Lyons cites case law allowing entry into a home based on an administrative warrant; Blumenthal responds that this does not override the Fourth Amendment or allow ICE to break down doors without a judicial warrant. Below is a C-SPAN image of a congressional hearing with an ICE official testifying.
