My family received WIC support and helped our kids be healthy. This is an anti-life action that harms all of us.

🗣️President Trump’s proposed FY26 budget would roll back WIC's fruit and vegetable benefits to pre-2021 levels, before USDA’s science-based increase. Breastfeeding moms would drop from $54 → $13 Young kids: $27 → $10 These cuts jeopardize early nutrition. Read the full NWA statement:

Amazing. Well done, Anelise Feldman! "No one was harmed by Soren’s participation in the girls’ track meet, but we are all harmed by the hateful rhetoric of bullies, like Rep. Libby, who want to take sports away from some kids just because of who they are." www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...

This is likely a bad time to remind everyone that due to the way percentages work, a 10% drop requires an ~11% increase to return to the same value. A 20% drop requires an 25% increase: 100*0.8 = 80 80*1.25 = 100

iOS is similar and requires passcode for first unlock. You can also pocket-shutdown without the touchscreen with the sequence <volume_up> <volume_down> <side_button_hold_5s>

On Android (double check your version by trying it), a quick reboot will usually require a non-biometric authentication. A quick hack if you feel you need it is to long press that power button and hit reboot. (Not sure about iOS)

If you’re at a protest and cops start getting agro and it seems like there might be arrests, make sure your phone is locked and that you’re not using Face ID or a thumb print (I recommend never using these). But “don’t bring your phone” is generally unhelpful advice for most ppl at most protests
