If you are not a scientist, and you disagree with scientists about science, it’s actually not a disagreement. You're just wrong. Science is not truth. Science is finding the truth. When science changes its opinion, it didn't lie to you. It learned more.

@maustermuhle Please share your thoughts on the report! (And yes to a new name :))

[Food Works Group @FoodWorksGroup]

@DCJusticeLab @maustermuhle It’s being addressed. I’d be happy to talk through our research if you’re interested.

Interesting report here assessing the viability of D.C. building a Central Processing Facility, which would essentially be a commercial kitchen of sorts to produce healthy foods for schools and other institutions, help small businesses get started, etc.: https://t.co/7asWzOUBPL

We join @sharefoodphilly in mourning the passing of Steveanna Wynn, who led Share’s fight against hunger for 30+ years. Our early days were spent distributing out of Share's warehouses. We are indebted to them always, + forever inspired by Steveanna's spirit of community!

The green one? Until then she couldn’t have her own bank account

What we learned in 2020? That oil is worthless in a society without consumption. That healthcare has to be public because heath is public. That 50% of jobs can be done from home while the other 50% deserve more than they’re being paid. That we live in a society, not an economy.
