Trump just absolutely champing at the bit trying to get the news cycle back on him and then RFK jr. pops out of a cake screaming, “A DECADE AGO I STAGED THE MURDER OF A BEAR CUB IN CENTRAL PARK!!!”

We talked to three undecided voters to make sure they're doing ok. You able to breathe bud? Do you know about food?

Don't let any political journalist or outlet opine about politicization. Immediately after the shooting, GOP Members of Congress were already blaming Pres. Biden. Trump is currently fundraising off this. Don't let them shame you into ignoring this appalling double standard.

Today @WCKitchen lost several of our sisters and brothers in an IDF air strike in Gaza. I am heartbroken and grieving for their families and friends and our whole WCK family. These are people…angels…I served alongside in Ukraine, Gaza, Turkey, Morocco, Bahamas, Indonesia. They are not faceless…they are not nameless. The Israeli government needs to stop this indiscriminate killing. It needs to stop restricting humanitarian aid, stop killing civilians and aid workers, and stop using food as a weapon. No more innocent lives lost. Peace starts with our shared humanity. It needs to start now.

Last night, A told me about how a 3 year old puppet innocently asked y'all how y'all were and y'all sat down on the stoop next to him, slid the brown paper bag from the lip of your 40, and recited the entirety of "Mother to Son" to him for thirteen hours. And I somehow missed it.

The GOP has introduced a bill to EXPEL Palestinians from the United States. I cannot read such things without remembering what happened to my own family after Pearl Harbor when we and 120,000 Japanese Americans were incarcerated in prison camps for years, without charge or trial.

If life gives you lemons, no it didn't, those belonged to a lemon tree. The lemon tree did not say you could have those. Give them back.

Parents, now is the time to be on guard. We are once again reminding you to be diligent about checking your child's candy throughout the Halloween season. Our biologists have just found THREE invasive bighead carp rolled up and shoved inside an almond joy. We are appalled.
ALT Three invasive bighead carp, with their big heads, lay among the remains of a broken candy bar. With that, our broken trust.

The level of misinformation in all directions at this moment is incredibly high, especially on this platform.
If you see a claim, photo, or video that triggers a strong emotional reaction, take a moment to pause and check for veracity/confirmation from multiple sources.

Breaking: According to the Houston Chronicle, officers who were working for Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s border security were ordered to push small children and babies back into the Rio Grande.
Additionally, they have allegedly been ordered not to give water to those people seeking asylum.
This comes as we see record heat in Texas.
There has to be a line that is drawn between "keeping our border safe," and harming innocent women and children who are merely seeking asylum.
We are all humans, and to treat people who claim to be fleeing from danger like they are something less than human can't be the answer we strive for. Can it?
We hear a lot of complaints but very few solutions.
Ultimately how is a better way to secure our borders without harming women and children?

[P] Yeah, Twitter is a long-overflowed septic tank, but never forget that it brought us this perfect bar of gold from @joshgondelman:

America has a problem.
54% of Americans read below a 6th-grade level and many of them have passionate opinions on society and politics.
The world isn't a flat one-dimensional Disney movie of pure good versus pure evil. There's nuance and you need to read.
