There is nothing that will improve your health, your well-being, your achievement, your sense of accomplishment, your sense of community, and the health and happiness of your family as much as cooking yourself and enjoying a meal with others.
PAXIS.app confirms: Public space means ICE and civilians can enter. Political insults are generally protected speech. And if ICE closes the distance, then claims you are impeding them, they are manufacturing a violation. Know your rights. Keep PAXIS free: GoFundMe.com/PAXIS
WATCH: When her son Chris was 7, Mary McGonigle-Martin gave him raw milk, as it promised to treat allergies and digestive problems. A month later, he fell gravely ill. Now 27, he’s still dealing with the effects of kidney damage and other health issues. This is their story.
Photos of newly arrived immigrants at Ellis Island. Augustus Sherman took the photos between 1902 and 1920 when he worked as the Chief Registry Clerk. Striking to me how the outfits all look good because they have a discernible silhouette (shape and drape).

Great December 2025 article from @profhicks.bsky.social It took me a while to find it but I was thinking about as the Bears move closer to a decision on where to move - NW Indiana or NW Chicagoland suburbs. So I'm reposting for easier access.

The Religious Right is desperate these days to pretend that "Christian Nationalism" is (1) a recently-invented term and (2) a pejorative invented by their enemies, but neither of those claims is remotely true. Here's a short thread, but I'm sure other historians will have examples too.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3mo agoMike Johnson: "The naysayers who have created this new term 'Christian nationalism' as a pejorative, a derogatory term, are trying to silence the influence and voices of Christians, and I think that's wildly inappropriate."
Black people are giving it these Confederates raw and uncut. This is how it’s gonna be now. You wonder what we’re thinking? It’s this. I believe this is activist Gary Chambers again in Louisiana.
While the world’s eyes are on fashion’s biggest night, we’re turning ours to the garment, retail, and warehouse workers who keep the industry running. From true love found on the picket line to a free tailoring school out of a Brooklyn basement — meet the New Yorkers who make it all possible.
A masterclass on handling an illegal ICE stop. Per www.PAXIS.app, police need reasonable suspicion, probable cause, or a valid warrant. If stopped: ask if you’re free to go. If detained, show documents, stay silent, refuse searches, stay calm. FIGHT ICE, FIGHT TRUMP: www.gofundme.com/f/PAXIS

Lack of sufficient healthcare started YEARS ago. Trump and Congress cut Medicaid. Post WW II, AMA financed a nationwide campaign against national health insurance. The campaign used mass advertising to associate NHI with socialism and private insurance with ‘American Way’. cepr.org/voxeu/column...
Why the US doesn’t have national health insurance: The political role of the AMA
The US healthcare system relies on a heavily subsidised and lightly regulated private sector, and despite living in the world’s wealthiest country, millions of Americans remain uninsured, underinsured, or unsure of their coverage. This column examines the rise of private health insurance after WWII, when the American Medical Association – an interest group representing physicians – financed a nationwide campaign against National Health Insurance. Directed by the country’s first political public relations firm, the campaign used mass advertising to associate NHI with socialism and private insurance with the ‘American Way’.
