Indiana: 17% of homes with children used a food bank last year. 1 in 11 Hoosiers uses SNAP. 44% of kids receive free or reduced lunch. 1 in 8 Hoosier is food insecure. Minimum wage is still $7.25 Losing food bank grants is going to affect so many people here.

Wow—this is the first in-depth public account from a Social Security exec about the DOGE takeover at SSA. It’s scary. It’s a must-read if SSA has your most sensitive data…yes, that means you. wapo.st/3DsqvLj

DOGE officials also put millions of taxpayers’ private data at risk and refused to say why they needed access to it, the official says.

Getting cozy with a curried veggie and chickpea soup I made tonight. It's cold, the snow is beautiful and I'm surrounded by cats. I'm just taking one day off from the despair to enjoy it all.

I follow French politics a lot, as many of you know. Any effort for mass layoffs of public sector employees there would create such huge strikes and marches, the level of disruption and paralysis would be biblical.

It's a great time to get current on immunizations. The TDAP - tetanus, diptheria and pertussis (whooping cough) is due every 10 years. The HPV series is recommended up to age 45. Various others might be appropriate for you based on health & lifestyle. CVS and health depts often offer these + more.

Please continue to report.
A tweet from user @delsalcott features a screenshot of a reporting interface. The interface asks, "What issue do you want to report about Gulf of America?" with the option "Name is wrong" selected. Other options include "Location on map is wrong" and "Something else." The tweet's caption reads, "About to be insufferable," implying the user is about to correct the incorrect name, as "Gulf of America" is not a real geographic term (likely referring to the Gulf of Mexico).

I truly can’t argue that.

If an action is not intended to block, shut down, or stop some form of power in a real sense, it is useless or worse. Boycotts, work stoppages, blocking buildings, MA groups, etc need to be the floor for effective action at this point. Clever signs will not cut it.

I've never much had a sense of "faith" in anything and am really struggling to find comfort in refrains ringing out to keep the faith now. I need an alternative. Maybe, "people will always fight back, even if I'm not alive to see them win." I don't see joy ahead for me, I want to ensure it for them.

Although NOAA's page on atmospheric CO2 levels has vanished, you can still get this vital information from Ralph Keeling's team at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego keelingcurve.ucsd.edu Please follow bsky.app/profile/keel... for updates and share Don't let science be hidden
A graph of atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations at the Mauna Loa observatory, Hawaii, from 1958 to 4th February 2025. It shows carbon dioxide levels rising at an accelerating rate over the decades. This is known to be due to emissions of carbon dioxide from human activity, mainly fossil fuel burning but also deforestation. The first CO2 concentration value in March 1958 was 315 parts per million (ppm). The latest daily value is 426 ppm. The graph also shows a seasonal cycle of a few ppm within each year, which is known to be linked to the growing season in the northern hemisphere causing a temporary uptake of carbon in spring and summer and release in autumn. The graph is produced routinely by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego.

I don’t want y’all on here talking about who “deserves it”. A lot of people are getting what they paid for, but they don’t “deserve it” No one deserves to live under authoritarianism. Just like no one deserves to starve. You can fight for justice while acknowledging that people deserve rights.

Don’t expect a virtue signal from everyone. Some people are doing quiet, behind the scenes work that requires them to shut the fuck up, and you are making that job harder. If you want to be loud, that’s fine, there’s a place for it. But that’s not everyone’s place.

Real tired of the sanctimony in "don't let them make you afraid". It's stupid, and it's the same thing anti science people say to each other about diseases, climate change, etc. There is nothing wrong with fear. It's rational to be afraid. A lot of people SHOULD be afraid. Fear =/= inaction.

Ideas about getting into the streets and storming the gates are relics from a time where there was a single Palace or area where everyone in power lived. When people suggest you put your physical self in harm's way, make sure it's not just to prove a point or try outmoded means of confronting power.
