I agree w/Julie but focus on a) MONEY and b) volunteering if you are able. In general, food banks can do a lot more with $1 than any individual, and they know what they need and can use. Even small donations help. And a lot of companies match donations, be sure to check!

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 79th day out of the last 91. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Whatever you think of the White House as a building or a symbol, the fact is that the image of it being torn apart on a whim two days after 7 million people hit the streets against autocracy is going to make a HUGE amount of people really, really angry, and that's an energy that should be harnessed.

“When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall... think of it, always.” - Gandhi

The hatred of Greta Thunberg by a virulent core of middle-aged white men is a crystallisation of social media misogyny in general: It’s jealously combined with an inability to tolerate (or even understand) a woman in the public eye whose existence is defined by anything other than her sexuality.
