The bully's current and planned cuts to food stamps will leave almost 5 million Americans hungry.

The conman's campaign has hired a data broker that collects data about people's movements by tracking their phones.

It appears that the company gets the data from various other companies which get the data through various apps.

The apps very likely get users' consent for this, buried in the fine print of terms and conditions, and the app won't work unless the user "consents". That is a common practice, In practice, it is ineffective at checking these abuses, because the companies are expert at the manufacture of consent.

We need stronger restrictions on collecting data on people's movements or their presence in any place.

In August, the government of Finland tried to cut the wages of 700 postal workers. (In the US, with 70 times the population, the equivalent would be 49,000 workers.) All postal workers went on strike, and this inspired a general strike. The government had to resign.

Imagine what we could do if the US had this spirit of solidarity! Let's spread that spirit.

Wealthy countries (even including the EU) blocked any strong deal in the COP25 climate conference that just ended. They preferred to encourage dodgy "offsets" rather than cut emissions.

In theory, an offset for greenhouse gas emissions is equivalent to a cut. However, when you look at the proposed offsets, they are mostly designed to operate later — if you're lucky.

Plutocratist candidate Biden is exploiting Corbyn's defeat to argue once again that progressives are not "electable".

However, the "centrists" in the UK lost badly also.

Biden's argument is an attempt at a self-fulfilling prophesy: whatever popularity Biden has in the primary is due to people who believe it.
