The USDA now threatening grocery stores who offer discounts to SNAP recipients.
People are going hungry. Their benefits were illegally cut off leaving them to starve.
40% of SNAP households have children.
If grocery stores & local business want to step up to help… let them.

Am struggling with the idea that people like me somehow don't understand the legitimate concerns of people who attended the Tommy Robinson march. I literally had National Front fliers through my letterbox in my childhood in Greater London and I went to school and university with actual fascists.

I think every Democrat should be shown this chart and required to explain why any policy solution would convince voters in this environment, and if they cannot, give three steps to fix the media environment, and if they cannot, be forced to resign their seat

‘Study after study shows that students want to develop these critical thinking skills, are not lazy, and large numbers of them would be in favor of banning ChatGPT and similar tools in universities’, says @olivia.science www.ru.nl/en/research/...

We are in an era of deadweight loss - this stuff just won't happen. Even a country committed to filling the gap cannot possibly do it by an order of magnitude overnight - they would need to do something like double every year for a decade. And we'd need a lot of countries to do the same.
The US funds the bulk of biomedical research globally by far. It's not like other countries can simply take up the slack. The more likely: people leave research, new people don't become researchers. There is no happy ending. www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...
