Shipping was slow, but from Woot.com, which means they came through the direct supply chain 3M established with Amazon after Amazon had some "selling counterfeits" issues.

Senate update: Republicans are now trying to sneak a backdoor national abortion ban into their government funding bill. Republicans will stop at nothing to control women's health care decisions.

So, this is even more fucked than it seems at first blush.
That rule exists so stores don’t price gouge the SNAP system. I have *never* heard of USDA having any issue with a “SNAP price“ being *lower*… and yeah, that’s a thing (not saying more because we’re dealing with assholes).

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

Photos of the absolute ANIMAL who VICIOUSLY ATTACKED me in Portland just hours ago!
And by ”viciously attacked” I mean startled the hell out of both of us when they dashed out from somewhere and bounced off my leg (both of us are fine).

If your protest privacy/security advice does not start with a discussion of threat models, it is probably not good advice.

We turned our pain into a research paper… documenting how our collaborative research team (which included researchers at a public university) navigated a slew of public records requests (by some of the same folks who have since turned their attention towards attacking academia more broadly).

Just realized it was annual “Remind the world Christopher Columbus was convicted of ’Brutality’ by the same folks who gave Torquemada the thumbs up” day.
So, yeah, think about that. “Spanish Inquisition; keep up the great work! Columbus; what the fuck, man?! Too far… way too far…”

Note to self/tip for anyone it may concern: order the shitty off-brand CR2032s with no pretense of child safety next time.
The Energizers from the grocery store are near impossible to get into and then dye your fingers blue.

If the organizers are smart, they'll start spinning "No Kings" as a counter-protest to this "Hate America Rally" Republicans keep saying is going to happen.
"Hey, you hear about that 'Hate America Rally' on the 18th?"
"Yeah, that's nuts"
"You going to the counter-protest? It's called 'No Kings'."

Funny they can't say the name of protests because saying "No Kings" makes it soooo clear it's the opposite of a "hate America rally"
Emmer: "This is about one thing and one thing alone -- to score political points with the terrorist wing of their party, which is set to hold a hate America rally in DC next week."
