About 2 million kids have lost SNAP since deep cuts were enacted last year. The ripple effects: Kids losing SNAP also lose automatic enrollment for free meals at school. And as more kids lose SNAP, their schools may be forced to drop Community Eligibility.

When a worker wears an Amazon vest, drives an Amazon van and delivers on an Amazon-controlled route, but Amazon denies they work for the company — that's exploitation.
If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon. Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.
Dangerous proof our own species is much less evolved than many think
Massively undercovered story given the serious pandemic risk this H5N1 outbreak in a US mink farm poses. Utterly insane that the public health reaction here is to shrug our shoulders and essentially do nothing. Yet another way the US is a menace to the rest of the world.

"Reading books is active resistance" is something I tell to my students every day.
AOC: "As AI begins to encroach in our society, their goal is to take your cognition away from you. AI's goal is to take your thoughts away from you, your ability to think away from you, so that you become dependent on a machine ... reading books is active resistance"

Right-wing billionaires now own the Washington Post, the LA Times, CNN, CBS News, virtually every local TV station, virtually every news radio station, most local newspapers, X, Facebook, Threads, and TikTok. (Did I miss any?) They own almost the entire information environment.
Note: TikTok - 15% owned by Musk pal Larry Ellison - permanently banned our "Musk" the movie account on the platform. www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/politic...

There was one victory today in Atlanta and it was not the University of Georgia.
Ossoff: "He said he would rename Hormuz the 'Trump Strait.' The draft-dodging president tells jokes while 21 Americans are dead and hundreds wounded ... they've drained our stockpiles to achieve nothing while the crook commander in chief builds a monument to himself."

ICE has already expanded its spying capabilities through facial recognition and mobile phone location software, as well as AI technologies. ICE has also used “zero-click” technology that allows the agency to access encrypted data on an individual’s phone just by sending a link to the user.

ICE is reportedly fast-tracking an $100 million program designed to expand its domestic surveillance capabilities in dozens of cities. 142 intelligence agents will be placed in at least two dozen cities throughout the country to coordinate with nearby ICE offices and Washington D.C..

What are @wmata.com workers doing here??? Nothing?? WORSE???
One of my former students just witnessed this on Orange Line in the DC Metro - ICE/HSI abducting someone from the platform of Stadium-Armory. She was scared. She didn’t know what to do. She shouted “ICE is here!” to warn others. I’m proud she did that. And she bore witness.

Unless Congress reclaims its power, this will just become the new normal. A good first step would be to impeach Vought. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/02/u...

US Ambassador Guilfoyle privately met with Romanian Social Democrat leaders. Bolojan’s government resisted a US LNG deal she promoted involving Nova Power & Gas and investigated its nuclear project. Weeks later, the Social Democrats joined far-right AUR to topple his government.

NEW: @apnews.com confirms that ICE has begun electronically "disappearing" people in the agency's custody who have final orders of removal. As of last week, anyone jailed by ICE with a final order of removal will NOT appear in the ICE Online Detainee Locator System, making them effectively vanish.
Stay tuned for more on this from mainstream reporting hopefully later today, but Bob's got the gist of it; last week, it appears that ICE began disappearing people from the Online Detainee Locator System the moment they get a final order of removal. Yes, this is as deeply screwed up as it sounds.
