What can you do today? So many people will be impacted by these cuts. Help a neighbor, donate to a local food bank, host a food drive, and give to protect the hungry. #helpothers #give

DO these 42 million people realize that in 12 days they will no longer receive food benefits?

Elderly people. Disabled people. Homeless people.

NOTHING.

The Trump Administration has spent months wrecking the resources California needs to forecast and respond to floods and winter storms.

Via the Water Resources Department, we're coordinating with local agencies on response protocol and carrying out $2B+ in flood prevention projects across our state.

As they campaign to stay on the state supreme court, Pennsylvania justices have emphasized their records protecting voting rights. “My court is the backstop of democracy,” one said on the campaign trail.

Inside the Clunky Elections to Control Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court

The GOP is making an expensive push to end Democrats’ majority on a court at the center of election lawsuits, sparking a fledging campaign season with little precedent or template.

I never self-identified

Yet I suffer from others
identifying me.
Where is our zone of privacy?
How can be be ourselves

different truth sets
truths we can learn or discover
truths we feel, experience
truths we know we do not know
truths that change with
point of view
or time
Why fight
over truth, under stubborn banner?
Truth is neither
question nor answer
What matters is what we do
in all humility
from our core.

I can not emphasize this enough. Stop putting cameras in things. Stop buying things with cameras on them. We need to fix some very basic things before we even get back to talking about the internet of things. Just, absolutely no.

Have they considered asking literally any gym teacher?

ICE is offering a $50,000 hiring-and-retention bonus, along with student-loan forgiveness and other enticements. New hires are being told to report to work in sneakers so they can more easily drop and do crunches and push-s on the carpets of crowded agency offices. The logistics of staging a timed 1.5-mile run have been more difficult to coordinate, one official told
me.
