In Arizona alone, a staggering 450,000 people—including more than 100,000 kids—have lost food assistance since Trump's "big beautiful bill" passed. Nationwide, 4.5 million have been pushed off SNAP to fund tax cuts for the rich. That there aren't uprisings in every city, every day, is incredible.

Arizona’s Food Stamp Crisis Is Coming for the Rest of the U.S.

The number of people who receive nutrition assistance in Arizona has dropped significantly in a matter of months.

This software works. This software has worked. This software will continue to work, directly or through a lightweight VM. Whatever backend it talks to is even older and would cost millions to replace with something SLOWER and LESS stable. As long as it's 2038 compliant: leave it be.

This is not a joke. This is a screenshot of the actual case management software used by Massachusetts' 11 District Attorneys. Must-read work here by @nasser.wiki nasser.blog/dial-up-just...

I am not joking: this is AOL era software. It's got clip art. IDK how it even works on modern computers

Enjoyed this Esquire feature on the Churchwell brothers. IMO, they are among the last elegantly dressed men in the United States. Notably, neither are "fashion influencers." They are both distinguished cardiologists with great taste and a lifetime relationship with the same tailor.

WaPo alone found 50 cops who misused Flock cameras and other license-plate readers for personal purposes, namely to spy on girlfriends or ex-wives. They interviewed ~seven victims w/ stories of abuse that are really awful. One police chief "watched every single move" his ex made.

New: We found 50 cops who misused Flock cameras and other license-plate readers for personal purposes, often to spy on their girlfriends or ex-wives. He "watched every single move I made. ... Who do you turn the chief of police in to?" wapo.st/3S6rTuo

He's losing words. Anyone with a parent or loved one suffering from dementia will recognize this pattern. Wen he says "moving cameras," it's because he can't recall the word "videos" and so he's stating the component parts as best he can. E.g., a "camera" is involved and the images are "moving"

Trump: "We have photographs or tapes -- like moving cameras, right? -- where people are on the side cutting it with a box knife."
