In the spring, the Trump administration abruptly cut $500 million from an emergency food assistance program that delivered meat, dairy, eggs and produce to food banks across the country.

Thousands of planned deliveries were canceled without warning.

Trump Canceled 94 Million Pounds of Food Aid. Here’s What Never Arrived.

ProPublica obtained records from the Department of Agriculture that detail the millions of pounds of food, down to the number of eggs, that never reached food banks because of the administration’s cut...

All of you who are calling out the $20B bailout for Argentina, I hope you’re also protesting the tens of billions we send to Israel just as vociferously! (Yes, I also hate Milei and I oppose the bailout.)

La Tanya S. Autry shares reflections and poses questions in light of the museum acquisition of the gun used to kill Emmett Till — a must-read this week.

What Does It Mean to Exhibit the Gun That Killed Emmett Till?

As someone who questions institutional claims of neutrality and the ethics of curatorial practice, I wonder about the “museumification” of the weapon and the ramifications of its display.

So the Trump shooter was a registered Republican, the Kirk shooter comes from a Republican family, and it’s quite clear which group is stoking political violence.

The mainstream media’s false equivalence between Charlie Kirk and this high and mighty ideal of dialectic with those we disagree with is all the more misguided and evil because Kirk LITERALLY advocated for the repression of not just free speech, but even more basic human freedoms.
