Over 750,000 Alabamians rely on SNAP benefits to put food on the table. The shutdown was devastating for them, but things won't magically get better with funding back. It's time to organize for a government that works for all of us, writes Krystal Barrett

Trump is boycotting the G20. Why should we care that he favors head-to-head dealmaking over multilateral cooperation? Like when the boss picks off workers 1-by-1, the powerful win & the rest of us, from Iowa farmers to Mexican factory workers, get the shaft.
