Your Cookware Got Worse On Purpose
One buyout firm quietly collected Pyrex, Corelle, Instant Pot, and Oneida. Farberware is a name on a 200-year lease. And the pans still worth buying.

Some progressives & Democrats need to stop justifying refusing to vote or 3rd party voting by saying Biden "didn't do anything." He did a whole damn lot. Facts matter. And so does a young liberal SCOTUS justice who will protect civil rights for decades. www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/fa...

People need to understand that the party in the minority has very few options to stop or control what happens in Congress. If you don’t understand that, then you’re likely to fall for all the people blaming Democrats.

‼️ Friends, this is very important. Please share to whoever this may concern, especially if you are in the United States. Ukraine wants peace. Lasting, just, sustainable peace, and not a pause before the next bloodbath. I cannot stress this enough.

Before anyone gets mad at Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, listen to Kate. Justice Jackson didn’t side with Trump: she issued a temporary stay to prevent a rushed ruling that could let presidents exploit shutdowns to bypass Congress. Her move protects SNAP recipients & constitutional checks & balances

I recall reading ages ago that some researchers studying the effect of automotive reviews on car purchases had made a surprising discovery: People most often pore over car magazines and reviews AFTER buying a car, rather than before.

This week: Volunteer surge at local food banks; replenish steward shelves.
No one in our community should go hungry because grown adults in power chose brinkmanship over bread. We can't fix D.C. tonight. We can make sure our neighbors eat.
Let's move.

HOW TO ORGANIZE YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD FOR THE END OF SNAP This is important. This came to me overnight through a group organizing in the PNW. Please consider adopting these strategies where you live. YOU WILL SAVE LIVES. SNAP runs out 11-1. Start a block/neighborhood channel on Signal and get to work.
We refuse to let neighbors go hungry while politicians posture.
We can stand up a street-level safety net in days.
Neighborhood plan: "Block Food
Steward" model
One steward per block. A volunteer with a single shelf or 2-3 totes of staples who coordinates quiet, no-shame help.
Starter shelf (suggested):
10 lb rice • 10 lb dry beans • 8 lb
pasta
12 cans vegetables • 12 cans protein (tuna/chicken/beans)
2 large peanut butter • 2 shelf-stable milk packs • 1 cooking oil
Baby formula (sealed), diapers (mixed sizes), wipes, soap, toothpasteHow it works:
1. Steward posts once to the block group: "I've got a small shelf of staples. DM 'BAG' no questions asked."
2. Keep a simple in/out tally; rotate oldest first; replace what's used.
3. If demand spikes, steward pings the block: "NEED: 6 cans, 2 pastas, diapers size 4."
4. For larger needs, handoff to a local food bank. Privacy and dignity first—no photos, no public names.
Comment to volunteer: STEWARD
- [Your Street Name]
Comment to donate: DONOR -
[Item or $ pledge]
Need help? DM me the word BAG.
No shame.Volunteer at food banks this week.
Show up for a 2-hour shift. Sorting, bagging, intake, there's a role for everyone.
Donate smart. Shelf-stable staples first; ask for priority items before dropping off.
Be kind to clerks. They didn't create this mess. They're catching the fallout.
Hunger is not a negotiating tactic.
Contact your state and federal reps today and demand:
An immediate SNAP/WIC bridge with retroactive benefits.
No more hostage-taking of basic nutrition assistance.De-link food aid from unrelated fights. Fix the pipeline, then debate policy.
No politics at the pantry door. We help first, argue later.
No purity tests. If someone says they're short on food, we feed them.
Dignity and privacy. DM, porch drop-offs, initials only.
Safety: sealed formula only, check dates, store cool/dry, pet-safe.
The Timeline?
Tonight: Name stewards; seed each shelf with a starter kit.
Within 48 hours: Every block has at least one steward, a group text, and a small reserve.

Well, two things. 1) Brazil has a different kind of court system, DESIGNED TO PREVENT COUPS. 2) SCOTUS, led by John Roberts, intervened to forestall a trial and rewrite rules on DQing a candidate. That you don't understand that says you should do some more civics education.

This is the core message that needs to get out: Autopilot/FSD are not designed to keep you safe, they're designed to create the impression that true self-driving is almost here. Tesla has kept elements of the design known to create this impression, even after NTSB proved they contributed to deaths.

From the LinkedIn of the woman—a white lawyer from Carlsbad, CA—who filmed this encounter and shared the video:
know we're not supposed to share things like this on Linkedn, but I'm going to share it anyway because it was horrifying and it's happening everywhere and it needs to be shared.
This morning when I was driving home after dropping my son off at summer camp, I saw a swarm of ICE agents as I drove past our local Home Depot. It looked like they were tying up some workers, and my first reaction was to pull into the parking lot.
I couldn't think. I couldn't process. I couldn't reason. I just jumped out of my car and started filming.
I then watched as these two people were disappeared into unmarked vehicles, with one of the ICE vehicles trying to back into me when I wasn't looking.
Another woman tried to help. An ICE agent tried to slap her phone down when she tried to get a phone number to call this man's family. They wouldn't let her. Instead, they whisked him away and accused her of obstructing justice.
I'm currently lying awake in bed at 11pm thinking about how these men won't return home to their families tonight, and their families will probably never know what happened to them.
I've been through some traumatic events in my life, but I've never witnessed anything like this.
This was down the street from my son's elementary school in our little peaceful coastal town.
You may not see it on the news, but you'll hear it from me because it needs to be shared.

I don't know what Dems will do w/funding & they may well fuck it up (but have been doing going things tactically). But almost no one who is sure Schumer failed by letting CR get a vote in March has reviewed whether he may have been right abt keeping courts open. 233 men may be free bc he did.

It's REALLY easy to say, I've spent the last 4 months being angry abt Schumer and therefore not to reassess that decision. But there is at least an arguable case that keeping govt open prevented a lot of even worse shit--like wholesale shipments to a concentration camp.
