Most of these states have a sizable nonwhite population just to keep it in perspective why Republicans hate the poor to the uniquely intense level they do
The governors of a dozen Republican-led states — AL, AK, FL, GA, IA, MS, OK, SC, SD, TX, UT, WY — opted out of a new federal food assistance program, leaving about 9.5 million students without the aid this summer

We’ve returned to the olden days, when word-of-mouth was the only real way to advertise. As an author, if you enjoy a book, please: tell your friends. Your group chat, your sewing circle, your family WhatsApp, your work Slack, the voice channel of your MMORPG guild, anything.
Hey, so. I understand that this is anecdotal and not research, but. It is WILD how useless social media has become for promo. It's a fucking disgrace, really.

My youngest son (who is five) recently started saying “I hate you, Daddy!” every time I ask him to do something he doesn’t want to do. I redirect him by asking, “Do you really hate me, or do you just not want to do the thing?” Now, he says, “I love you, Daddy. I HATE YOUR IDEAS!!!” 🤣

about once a week, i have to explain to someone on the phone that the police have no obligation to do anything for you and, even if their refusal literally leads to your murder, the courts have been clear that there's no case to pursue
A man has been using Facebook to terrorize his ex and their children. He brags about it: “I want her to worry about who’s waiting on the corner.” But police do nothing and nobody seems to take it seriously. Chilling story from Stacy St Clair and Joe Mahr www.chicagotribune.com/2024/07/07/f...
How one man uses Facebook to frighten his children's mother and why police do nothingwww.chicagotribune.com An analysis of data from nearly two dozen Illinois police departments found police rarely arrest people for electronic harassment, even as complaints increase.

I'm 7 years sober today! The first months when I stopped drinking were hard. But every year has been better than the last, and if you're ever thinking about sobriety for yourself I'm happy to talk to you about it. I remember how hard it was to decide to finally do it.

A 2017 internal Veterans Affairs report shows Black veterans were more often denied benefits for PTSD than their white counterparts. The analysis crunched claims data from fiscal year 2011 through 2016. And disparate treatment started after WWI when it was still called shell shock. It continues.
Black veterans were denied VA benefits for PTSD more often than whiteswww.nbcnews.com “Ever since I came back from Vietnam, I knew that I had a problem, but I didn’t know what it was," said one Black veteran.
