As a reminder, tear gas is illegal in BOTH the Geneva Protocol AND Geneva Convention against use in war as a chemical agent. Just thought you should be reminded it's too bad for war where napalm is still legal, but tear gas is totes okay to use against your civilian population.

technical fixes. Are the tech geniuses not up to the challenge and therefore unable to seek gov't funding for such a purpose? Or do they simply not care?

Sincere question re SpaceXGolden Dome contract - 9/11 exposed a terrifying lack of communication compatibility among all agencies local, state and federal. To my knowledge, Congress has not taken action to fix this. Which do we need more Golden Dome or incredibly boring but critical life saving ...

The last community I’m feeling sorry for are the New York billionaires threatening to leave the city if Mamdani wins on Tuesday because they don’t want to pay more taxes.

We have folks who don’t know how they’re going to feed their kids tomorrow—in the richest country on earth.

Donald Trump is assaulting every institution that stands in his way.

He’s trying to use the U.S. military for domestic law enforcement.

In late 80s I was social worker in Houston working in Verification unit for food stamps. Made unannounced home visits to verify applicants were qualified &had reported all income etc. Unit was dismantled because cost more to run than were recovering. Very little fraud.So many myths/lies about SNAP

Marisa Kabas @marisakabas.bsky.social · 3d

As SNAP hangs in the balance for nearly 42 million people, misinformation is rampant. Myths of laziness and fraud persist when we should be talking about too low wages for workers, income inequality, and our threadbare social safety net.

In this guest post, Adam Chandler sorts fact from fiction:

SNAP benefits feed essential needs while still leaving many hungry for more

Journalist and author Adam Chandler explains what so much of the conversation about them gets wrong.

Please stand strong Senator Schumer. It really matters.

sheilacanavan1.bsky.social @sheilacanavan1.bsky.social · 3d

@schumer.senate.gov People advocating for Democrats to cave now are out of their minds IMO. The Democrats would be saying we're just pols. We didn't and don't care about your suffering. Thanks for supporting our position on the shutdown but now it's time to return to allowing Repubs to hurt you.

Is this finally rock bottom for Mr. Andrew Mountbatten Windsor? - BBC News And the United States has made Trump king.

The deal Trump cut with China re soybeans must be carefully analyzed. What does Bessent's statement that China agreed to purchase 25mmt over next 3 yrs actually mean? 25 divide by 3 equally roughly 8+ mmt per year or 25mmt per year for each of the next 3 yrs.? Important since 2023-4 was 25 mmt/yr.

Many of you, I know, receive a lot of national news, but care a lot about local. You also hate paywalls.

If that's you read this detailed story. "The Salt Lake Tribune, preparing to drop its paywall, launches a free, monthly print newspaper for Southern Utah."

HAPPENING NOW: Portland Police Commander Franz Schoening testifies that federal officers on Oct. 18 barraged protesters with crowd control munitions — not because of any violence but because another federal officer accidentally shot tear gas onto the roof of the ICE facility.
