NEW: The US Army website for its bases in Bavaria, Germany told its soldiers and employees that it might need to obtain free food from the German government during the US government shutdown.
The Army later altered publication to remove a list of food banks, but we have the original text here:

Here's an idea: Only shop at places where the employees are represented by a union. NO Walmart. NO Amazon. NO FedEx.
Try it. I still order stuff online & it's delivered by UPS or USPS. I shop at Meijer. I drive a car built by UAW members.
You say you are an "activist?" Then show us.

Tesla missed Q1 operating profit estimates by 54% and EPS by 30%. Without $595M in regulatory credit sales (and more in US IRA subsidies), Tesla would've generated a loss in Q1.
It's safe to say, Tesla is now the least profitable carmaker among the top 16 volume producers of the world.

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.

A US-born citizen was walking near Chicago in January. ICE snatched him off the street, handcuffed him, threw into a van. His wallet, which contained his ID, was confiscated. He was detained for 10 hours before being released without a record of what occurred.

I’m sick to death of people saying we’re “descending” into fascism. The fascism is ALREADY here. THIS IS WHAT IF FEELS LIKE.
And if you’re not feeling it, it’s probably because you’re one of the “good Germans.”

PAXLOVID alert.
Went to a pharmacy to pick up a Paxlovid Rx for (for real) a friend. Out-of-pocket cost for one course of treatment was almost $800, discounted from Pfizer's charge of $1500.
Medicare subsidy for Paxlovid expired 2 weeks ago, & no one has given thought to how to make it accessible.
