Starting today, 2.4M Americans, including kids, lose SNAP food benefits. Stores like Freshly’s Market in Mississippi that serve low-income communities expect a 35–45% drop in sales. Children will go hungry & employees at Freshly's lose jobs. Welcome to trickle-down starvation.

Feel FREE to Re-post. ;)
Excellent article about gender test for athletes.
Wow! Someone please nudge Schumer.
Enormous impoundment-related changes in Trump/Vought's Circular A-11 update from Friday, which is OMB's guidance to agencies They: -removed the definition of impoundment -said GAO's impoundment determinations don't matter -claimed pocket rescission authority -claimed profound deferral authority 🧵
Maybe so, but Trump has a way of hogging most of the mainstream media attention.
CHICAGO IS IN THE STREETS! #LaborDay #DefendHigherEd #WorkersOverBillionaires
This is so cynical it's probably true.
I'm in this video. The media won't cover us. www.tiktok.com/t/ZT6tjgYNJ/
A friend shared this with me. Allison Russell is new to me. Annie Lennox continues to inspire. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxef...
I don't think that anyone really wants to know. Wherever Vance is, he's up to no good.

maga showing their lack of imagination by denying the rumours instead of waiting 3 days to dispel them and then declaring he rose from the dead
Interesting information. I wish every foreign company would do this
Heads up: This judge has set a hearing for 3pm today
This kind of lying dreck is why I don’t watch the Sunday “news” shows anymore. It’s rare to see the hosts/moderators challenge the interviewees.FEMA is just another enforcement arm, and no longer a federal lifeline for those in need.
"There is no simple or easy path for us this fall. .. our leaders have tough decisions to make. What I hope .. is that they enter this period with an understanding that we are in a new and dangerous place .. and that traditional compromise can in this new era of Trump become dangerous appeasement."
Are you still on prednisone? When I've taken it, my sleep/dream cycles become disrupted.
So true. He’s not really working for the US, though, is he? Big Oil and Gas industries are funding him, so he’s waging a culture campaign against green energy.
there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...
The average American simply has no idea how quickly the infrastructure that keeps us safe and healthy is collapsing. These systems run in the background thanks to government employees who quietly do critical work. Those employees are being purged and systems are being destroyed.
I heard there was a controversy about the logo, but I didn’t even bother to check out what it was. There are much more important abuses going on. But I agree: erasing people is a sign of assent to the project 2025 ghouls, & I will steer clear of their franchise if I’m ever travelling in the US.
Dr. Dmitri Daskalakis, who resigned from the CDC says that RFKJr said he believes that Avian flu should be allowed to "burn through" the chickens and then children and others, so we can propagate a "stronger species". RFKJr believes in eugenics. RFKJr needs to resign or be fired.
That Trump and Trumpism are fascist doesn’t explain the sheer vandalism of unleashing mass murdering mayhem via RFK to replace medical/scientific institutions of immense value and prestige with medieval peasant superstitions. That is a criminal madness facilitated by but above and beyond fascism.

Finally, a GOP politician who read the room: don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
My name is Graham Platner. I'm the oysterman and Marine veteran running against Susan Collins. In 10 days we raised $1 million and signed up 3,000 volunteers. Please share this. Spread the word. Help us build something strong enough to defeat the billionaire class.a
I have a couple of hummingbird feeders. I have been surprised at how territorial they are. Next year I will put up even more feeders around the yard to give them more opportunities to feed.
I saw them there years ago, but only the poppy seed ones.
I quit years ago.
Now that I finally have a reliable vehicle again, I can try to go to some of those farmer's markets. I live about an hour away from Ottawa.
Thank you! While I'm not in that part of town very often, it's good to have a source of those special occasion ethnic treats.
This is the first time I've heard about cytisine to help quit smoking. www.cbc.ca/news/health/...
The Toyota dealer had a sports car in the foyer, and it was dull, gun-metal grey.
I just checked out the lunch menu page, and sent it to my son. The prices look very reasonable, esp. since they use good quality ingredients. Thanks again for the recommendation!
Thanks! I will check that out when I'm in that area. My son's in-laws live in Stittsville, so I have been spending some time there.
Does that deli have any pastries, like the nut or poppy seed rolls?
The current laws in Canada dealing with this situation were brought in by Stephen Harper when Poilievre was in Gov't! So Poilievre finds fault with that part of the criminal code? Why doesn't someone in the media point out this to him? He's either turned against Harper, or he's purely grandstanding.
Yes, that was my comment when I first heard about the airline strike. Jobs traditionally held by women are devalued.
Yes, if the interviewer just uncritically allows a person to spout unfounded claims and talking points, it is truly a failure.
Katie Simpson did a good job filling in for Cochrane as well.
Where is the pushback on her claims by Tasker?
Democracy Docket members, this is a great opportunity! us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...
You are lucky indeed to have such an amazing artist in your family! This Trumpinnochio is brilliant!
Yay!

“This is a reality TV show with sick and cruel content and the volume knob set to 11.” Wow! Possibly the most powerful political opinion piece I’ve ever read. From @stevenbeschloss.bsky.social Read it now. www.americaamerica.news/p/its-villai...
This is why Stefanik was sticking her nose into the GOP nominations in Clinton Co. NY. www.mynbc5.com/article/elis...
Constantly amazed by the compassion people show! 💜
I'm getting a Jean Créitien vibe from this fellow.
My sister, who supports Trump and Kennedy, doesn’t realize that the meds she relies on for her anxiety/depression are SSRIs.
I sure hope that someone will step up and help you out.
Do you get paid at the end of the month?
This is good. Although the event happened almost 2 weeks ago, the analysis is spot on. www.thebulwark.com/p/elise-stef...
And don’t think it’s not happening in Canada especially with Alberta and the black hat guy
That’s a great idea! Banks really don’t want people to get scammed in their name, so they will be happy to give you advice.
Every bank has different options for setting alerts. For some, you can set an alert if the card is used for a purchase that exceeds a set price. I prefer e-mail alerts, as texts can be misleading.
That's pretty much how I'm interpreting their actions. They want to cull those on Social Security/disability as they seek to create a kind of corporate feudal state.
“There are so many other folks who had been murdered in other places prior to (Till), and no one said a word. Or more specifically, from a collective standpoint, there was silence. And that was the truth about Tallahatchie County," Benjamin Salsberry said at the Two Mississippi Museums on Aug. 13.
I have alerts set on all of my bank accounts and credit cards, and only check directly with the relevant financial institutions if there seems to be an issue. One credit card has a handy "card not present" alert for online purchases.

My Trump-voting sister is on Paxil, and says it has been a lifesaver for her. I don’t think that she understands that it is one of the SSRIs that RFKjr is trying to abolish.
“While the U.S. spent about $270 billion on federal workers’ salaries before the 2025 cuts, it spent $478 billion on government contractors.”
Full resignation letter from Demetre C. Daskalakis, a CDC leader, does not hold back. "The recent shooting at CDC is not why I am resigning. My grandfather, who I am named after, stood up to fascist forces in Greece and lost his life doing so. I am resigning to make him and his legacy proud."
First, Project 2025 is doing everything it can to cull the vulnerable via vaccine restrictions and unmonitored outbreaks of infectious diseases.
That child will be traumatized for life.
I'm glad that you have an angel like that to help you. Thank her for the many of us who care, but live too far to be of immediate help.
Yes, I posted that yesterday, with a note that this is yet another reason why Canadians don't want to travel to the USA.
Urgently!
Sending healing thoughts your way....
I would hope so, too, but I'll bet he will be out on bail while he awaits trial.
Really, WTF what he trying to do? Time for the girls' parents to get a restraining order.
? I haven't seen mainstream news about the killings. Was the shooter trans?
Yup. No matter how they twist the narrative, #it’stheguns.
Border state politicians: This is another reason why Canadians aren’t travelling to the United States.
I’m sorry to hear this.
And in the tiny town of Kent, Connecticut this morning 👇💥
LOL, I was surprised that I didn't eat all 8 of them.
Keeping with the theme of “your pension is funding fascism” (catchy!), here’s a great July 2025 Rolling Stone piece👇 highlighting several firms that have very close ties with the odious Trump regime. 🇨🇦 pension plans have lots of $$ in these firms - e.g. BCI + BC Public Sector Pension Plans have…
😇
Looks like the NDP have confirmed what we’ve been hearing for the last 48 hours! UCP Minister of Children’s and Family Services snuck the hate preacher (who was disavowed by his previous ministry partners) into the Alberta legislature for a service. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
No, we’re both winning, since Chapman’s is a Canadian company. The mini bars are 55 ml of deliciousness each, for a total of 275 ml. I enjoyed every bite, and I hope that you enjoyed your treat as well.
@evansolomon.bsky.social Digging deeper into the AI incident does not reassure me.
I just ate 5 Chapman’s Collection milk chocolate and almond mini ice cream bars.
The special election for Virginia's 11th Congressional District is going on now! Early voting through Sept. 6, election day Sept. 9. James Walkinshaw is the candidate who will fight for policies that benefit everyday Virginians. Vote for James Walkinshaw Virginia's 11th Congressional District
I thought that the reason for not moving out of Stornoway was because of their non-verbal daughter. Now Ana is ready to ditch the child so that she can write a book????
Thank you for supporting our ally Ukraine! There’s a lot more 🇨🇦 can be doing in terms of sanctions on, and divestment from, firms abetting fascist Russia’s aggression. For instance, Canada seems not to have sanctioned all the tankers moving👇 Russian oil + gas. 🇨🇦🇺🇦
That was my thought as well. Their bourbon can collect dust on the shelves.
FYI, @evansolomon.bsky.social. There aren't guardrails on A1 friends and counselors.
Just received this statement from Lisa Cook: "President Trump purported to fire me 'for cause' when no cause exists under the law, and he has no authority to do so. I will not resign. I will continue to carry out my duties to help the American economy as I have been doing since 2022."
Dear journalists: The President has not fired Lisa Cook. The President is *trying* to illegally fire her. Your words shape people’s reality. Please be accurate in your reporting.
Old photo, same message. This was taken shortly after the Russian invasion started.
But a similar amount of fentanyl coming across the border from Canada in a year constituted a national security emergency, and justified ripping up an international trade deal.
Seniors across Ontario are being unfairly charged skyrocketing service fees at retirement residences because there's no regulation from the province. That's why I introduced a bill to protect seniors and put an end to price gouging at retirement homes. #onpoli www.thestar.com/news/investi...
Yes, I have rabid Trump supporters in my family as well. They consider themselves to be good Christians, and patriotic Americans. They can’t see that the White House is the modern version of the Golden Calf.
Yes, every news outlet should be reporting that our trade and security relationships in Europe include climate agreements, and asking how PP will comply with them if he expands oil and gas production.
Walz: "It boggles my damn mind that in the midst of a military takeover of our cities, the flaunting of the rule of law, that the press finds the need to talk about, 'Oh, there's a division in the Dem Party.' There's a division in my damn house & we're still married and things are good. That's life"
