In Gladstone, Missouri, the Plate of Hope food pantry is closing, citing rising operational expenses, declining funding and an unsustainable building lease. It’s leaving seniors like Leo Holbrook, a client of three years, trying to figure out where to go next.

New research indicates Walmart is working to compile massive amounts of data on individual shoppers and potentially charge them different prices, despite the company’s denial. This shady tactic is called surveillance pricing, and Walmart isn’t the only corporation planning to use it. Watch.

More than 500 U.S. citizens have been detained by ICE, according to ProPublica. 70% of ICE detainees have no criminal conviction. Trump’s promise to go after the “worst of the worst” was always a lie. It was always a pretext to terrorize Black and brown communities. Remember this.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.
