GrapheneOS is great and I recommend it all the time for Android users who are concerned about spying by governments and law enforcement.

Everyone should eat more potatoes.
Potatoes are cheap
Healthy
Go with almost anything
Can be made into a lot
And taste good.
Everyone should eat more

Unless you're allergic to them.

Exclusive: White House finds 11th-hour shutdown workaround to pay troops β€” for now Otherwise Trump isn't planning to budge on the nearly month-old shutdown, even with as many as 42 million people set to lose food stamp benefits Saturday.

Trump is illegally moving money around to pay the troops, but he won't feed hungry people under SNAP even though the contingency fund is sitting right there. www.axios.com/2025/10/29/w...

Only tangentially related to anything, but this is why the creators of "Democratic Socialism Simulator" needs to be put into a time out in the corner for two weeks.
They are always bluffing. Always. If capital was truly so mobile they would have left in the 90s with NAFTA.

With SNAP benefits being slashed it makes the holiday season even harder on families. Aldi has put together this $40 Thanksgiving meal that feeds up to 10 people.

Trump administration won't tap contingency fund to keep food aid flowing, memo says The Trump administration says it won't use a roughly $5 billion contingency fund to keep food aid flowing in November amid the government shutdown.

πŸ’‘Did you know: SNAP benefits have a contingency fund that can be used during a gvt shutdown?

This πŸ’΅ has already been appropriated by Congress.

The Rs refuse to use the πŸ’΅ so they can force their fucked up agenda down our throats.

I’ve given to the Food Bank of Delaware (fbd.org) regularly for years, including all proceeds from games I sell from my collection. It’s one of the best ways to get help to people who need it most.

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

a noticable shift in culture is that when the original google glass released 13 years ago, one kid in my highschool had one and we all bullied him for how weird it was you could take photos with it and he stopped wearing after 1 day. that anti-invasive tech culture is dead with modern social media

Quite frankly I don't care who or what you are. If you have a national tattoo and aren't *actively* trying to get it removed, I will not listen to you, I will not care, I will not give you benefit of doubt, you are exactly who you claim not to be.

We had a new age shop in town that was awesome, the owner was cool
And then he had to sell the shop, and the new owner was so horrible about everything, including her politics, that she drove the business to the ground in record time.
I miss that shop

I love supporting small occult shops but I’m going to be so real: if I don’t see any evidence of the shop supporting progressive causes (as shown by product selection or events hosted or even like having a progress pride flag up somewhere), I’m immediately sus about their owners’ politics.

Trump demanding $230 million from the DOJ, that he controls, is a shakedown of the American taxpayers so that Trump can line his own pockets.
