San Francisco Will Cover Full SNAP Benefits for November Amid Federal Shutdown | KQED Mayor Daniel Lurie announced an $18 million public-private partnership for the roughly 112,000 San Francisco residents expected to miss next month’s federal food aid benefits.

Great to see the city step up with food assistance for San Franciscans losing SNAP benefits in November!

Zenni’s Anti-Facial Recognition Glasses are Eyewear for Our Paranoid Age These anti-facial recognition glasses technically work, but won’t save you from our surveillance dystopia.

NEW: we tested Zenni's anti-facial recognition glasses coating. "ID Guard" adds a pink sheen to the surface of the glasses that reflects the infrared light used by some facial recognition cameras.

US is sending an aircraft carrier to Latin America in major escalation of military firepower The U.S. military is sending an aircraft carrier to the waters off South America in the latest escalation of military firepower to a region.

This is not normal. Redirecting an aircraft carrier strike group from EUCOM sends a clear message to Russia that we are not serious about supporting our allies. apnews.com/article/trum...

This is a U.S. citizen being brutally abducted by ICE while his mom pleads for them to stop and the videographer cries for help. The Chicago police do nothing to stop it.

They will come for everyone, and they’re not even hiding that anymore. If you are not organizing and resisting yet, get started.

If the National Guard arrives in SF, the Lurie Administration isn't ready - 48 hills The mayor's statements today show little recognition of how serious a threat this is, and how he plans to respond

"If National Guard troops arrive in the streets, San Franciscans are going to be looking to Lurie for leadership. So far, it’s not there."

At least 27 states turned over sensitive data about food stamp recipients to USDA Democratic-led states secured a legal victory to keep the personal data of food recipients out of the federal government's reach.
