The unthinkable has happened. Through generations of service under administrations from both parties, America's food assistance program has never been allowed to fail U.S. families—until today, and this Trump shutdown.

After whatever happened in Butler, PA, when Trump got to the hospital, the first thing he said to aides was, "How is it playing? How does it look on TV?"

Are those the words of a man who had just survived a real assassination attempt?

"Applications of technology that are friendly to the Administration are going unchallenged, in part because tech companies have become increasingly willing to support Trump's whims...

Only tools that exist independent of Big Tech seem like safe bets for dissent."

can't believe outlets are running moral-panic headlines again based on flimsy anecdata from the *same* trade group (the national retailer federation) and sponsored by the *same* anti-theft company (sensormatic) that had to retract this *same* "study" just two years ago for being bogus.

Here's a brilliant billboard campaign to put important messages before the National Guard troops being deployed to US cities! Another illustration of doing what we can, where we can. A model for us all! taskandpurpose.com/news/vet-gro...
