Do you know you can open a can without a can opener?
Place the can on concrete & rub the can back & forth on the concrete. The concrete acts as sandpaper. Once the rim of the can is rubbed away, the can is ready to open.
Better yet, always make sure to have a manual can opener with a bottle opener-

The federal food program helping more than 1 in 4 young children access fresh produce, milk, and formula will run out of funding next week.

Over 5 million children could lose food assistance — all thanks to the Trump-Republican shutdown.

The cruelty is endless.

The future of the Democratic Party must be rooted in investing in the American people — not Wall St., corporations, and consultants.

Otherwise, Trumpism will continue to use cynicism, racism, and distrust to divide America.

As ICE terrorizes communities, remember that some of Trump's biggest supporters are private prison companies that will make bank off his budget bill.

And Stephen Miller recently disclosed over $100K of stock in Palantir, the shady data firm ICE uses to target immigrants.

Cashing in on cruelty.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Specific hashtags: A hashtag campaign may accompany the silence, so that while not posting, the reason for the silence is still clear".

Digital blackout: Instead of posting on a particular day, participants will go silent to symbolize their protest. This is a coordinated action rather than a specific code.

Hmmm.

Interesting what you can find just on the Internet.

"For a voluntary online protest or digital strike
During a planned online protest, activists or groups often coordinate to create a symbolic "silence" to draw attention to an issue.

this is the list of ideological identifiers laid out in the NSPM-7 that would predict violence, and are all of course, incredibly reasonable positions or just ridiculous framing, like “extremism on gender” which is just being pro-trans:
