After work, I had to DoorDash to pay for our motel room. I brought my toddler with me to avoid childcare costs.
A South Carolina mom lived in a $60-a-night motel and took her toddler on DoorDash runs to make ends meet. She can afford a mobile home now.
From one perspective, this is a story about grit and determination.
From another, it's a damning portrait of a country where someone working full-time at $11/hour lives in a $60-a-night motel with her toddler—then spends evenings DoorDashing with her kid because affordable childcare is nonexistent.

The Trump are war profiteers. What can one expect from people who stole from a children's cancer charity?

Holy shit - this would be very, very bad:
"The databases, called “Numident” and the “Master Death File,” include records for more than 500 million living and dead Americans, including Social Security numbers, places and dates of birth, citizenship, race and ethnicity, and parents’ names."

Important to note the whistleblower complaint says the DOGE staffer bragged he had been guaranteed a pardon if he was ever charged.

At the end of the day, all of the historical “we were here first” arguments are irrelevant. They’re all there NOW, and none of them—neither Israeli Jews, Israeli non-Jews, WB Palestinians nor Gaza Palestinians—have any intention of leaving the region en masse.

Me and @noturtlesoup17.bsky.social last year revealed the federally-funded group planning America's 250th anniversary events had hired the firm that organized Trump's 1/6 rally. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Wired now notes that firm has won $10s of millions in anniversary-related contracts.

When you build a machine to target people based on gender, race, or any other identity, it ends up targeting Jews too.
New deposition testimony shows a DOGE staffer flagged a Holocaust documentary—about Jewish women forced into slave labor by the Nazis—for termination.
His reason is shocking.

LA Taco went from covering local culture and good tacos to doing some of the best on the ground community-embedded reporting about ICE. Well worth supporting.
