Heartbreaking. This is happening in communities all over the country.. it’s impossible to quantify how many kids and families will be impacted!

In general I’m a very tolerant person. A kind and peaceful person. But with Prez Taco and the Nachos out there I’m just feeling more hate and rage than I can even process. Make it stop.

I’m fortunate to teach in a district that actually provides the supplies my kids need to succeed, but that wasn’t always the case. Thank you so much for supporting our teachers when they are left to fend for themselves. 🍎 🏀 ✏️ 📚 🌎💜

The State Department is burning 500 tons of food for starving kids AND taxpayer dollars — while arbitrarily firing 1000s. My question to Secretary Rubio's Deputy: What’s your plan to stop the waste of American aid? His answer: We’re looking into it. We need a plan — this won’t cut it.

There is no place in our nation for a secret police force operating in the shadows and pulling people off the streets in unmarked cars.   Congress must ensure law enforcement, including ICE, is held to basic standards of transparency, accountability, and respect for civil rights.

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 is about to get cut. If Bezos can spend $50M on a wedding, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

Response sent to the White House. Summary: The planet doesn’t need an emperor dictating trade. Mainland Antarctica already has millions of Emperors, and even their droppings do more good than the White House’s globally destabilizing policies. In other words, go take a long hike on thin ice.
July 2025
To:
The Executive Office of the President
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, D.C., USA
Subject: Your Most Recent Tariff Missive(s)
Dear White House Strategists,
Sitting on eggs continuously for 54 days in minus 20 degrees is, frankly, easier than trying to make sense of your current tariff strategy. We've checked our calendars thrice-are we on Day 90 or 105 of this economic stand-off? We'd request clarification, but we're reasonably sure you'd sanction that too.
We're loathe to admit it, but on this matter we find ourselves in rare agreement with Brazil's President Lula: the world does not, in fact, require an emperor. Least of all one perched precariously atop a melting economy, dictating terms to islands most Americans couldn't point to on a globe even if bribed with krill.
Before these tariffs, our contact with humanity was limited to the occasional sunburnt glaciologist and a few UN observers who came mostly for the penguin chorus. Now, thanks to your trade aggression, we've acquired:
- Three fully operational F/A-18 Hornets (painted in icy matte, thank you for asking),
- The enthusiastic backing of several thousand confused yet passionate humans,
- A Press Secretary with a debilitating anxiety disorder (Miss Penguline Levity, whom we advise you not to email directly),
- And a waitlist of 47,000 immigration requests, 312 of which are from your own diplomatic staff.
This escalation has turned our quiet, flightless republic into an accidental geopolitical flashpoint. We are, as you might imagine, irritated. Not furious-just frostily disappointed.
Let us be clear: Heard Island has no intention of becoming a player in your drama. We are content to govern our guano-covered rocks with dignity, sovereignty, and minimal Wi-Fi. If this is difficult for you to accept, we recommend a long walk on thin ice.

Weird how they're suddenly so concerned about "cybersecurity" to justify cutting important satellite weather data but nobody batted an eye about cybersecurity when SecDef was caught using Signal to discuss classified airstrikes, including with people who don't even have a clearance (his wife).

Not one minor or major outlet has reported that the white supremacist militia Patriot Front marched through downtown Louisville on July 5th. Masked. Coordinated. Proud. This silence is dangerous. We cannot allow racist extremists to feel emboldened—or ignored. Shine the damn light.

The people who lost children and other loved ones in the Texas floods are owed honest answers from officials. They should be told why flash flood warnings issued hours earlier were not conveyed to people in the path of the water. They don’t need more prayers from politicians. They need answers.
