Little known fact: the PA farmers market matches SNAP funds providing a crucial lifeline during a time when craven politicians have seen fit to make a sport of piling hardships on those that can least afford them.

This is community supporting community where the system has failed.
How many farmers markets are so committed to food access and offer a $ for $ unlimited Snap market match AND $5 protein vouchers for every $10 on SNAP?

Vote for this sweet and generous market so they can raise money to continue funding their market match. Vote: markets.farmland.org/markets/313411

Hey does anybody by chance have the PD for a staff ecologist position in FS?
I think it's GS11, education requirements should be an MS.

I need the PD itself with the included education and experience requirements in the same doc

if anybody has it, please hit me up.

What is happening at 60 minutes is an unmitigated success story. The billionaires bought a reputable news outlet and destroyed it - intentionally. That is one less news org that can report on their corruption. It is and was a business expense. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy
Ratings for the “60 Minutes” season premiere under Bari Weiss fell an astonishing 21% from last year and worse in the demo—the show’s lowest viewership this century.

"Losing one-third of your demo is death spiral," a longtime TV news exec told @status.news.
