Massive Food Recall Hits Trader Joe's, Walmart, Kroger and More

[CN: a lot of international foods are listed under a kind of racist/erasing umbrella term] From salads to taquitos to tikka masala and more, ready-to-eat food in your refrigerator might be part of a massive recall. Here's what to do about that.

Hey folks, another big recall just hit the states, for both refrigerated and frozen products. Read up, and be careful out there!

And if you need to stay updated, FoodSafety.gov has an RSS feed listed under Recalls & Alerts > Get Automatic Alerts.

[africanaquarian]

now i gotta go thru my fridge

[queerlyfunctioning]

I love living in a country where every three days the FDA or the CDC has to announce which foods will kill us this week and which ones won’t.

[jheselbraum]

This is a possible listeria outbreak, it’s no joke. 

Please check the food in your fridge.

Find your fucking polling place!

A FUCKING GOOD POINT!

A huge number of people are already getting fucked over when it comes to being allowed to cast a vote in the upcoming elections. Let’s try to minimize what that number COULD be as much as possible. It might also be useful to have the number for the ACLU written down (or already in your phone) so you can CALL THEM while still at the polling place and get whatever information is needed in order to see about having the ACLU sue them. Write down names. Get witnesses. Take photos. MAKE IT VERY CLEAR TO THE POLLSTERS THAT YOU ARE GOING TO HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE. (Unless you have reason to believe they’re going to be assholes and try to have you arrested for doing so, in which case, be as subtle as possible.)

[clucku]

Some more info on this, state by state.

[witches-ofcolor]

^^ Really look at the state by state info so just in case this happens you’ll know what to do!

[jumpingjacktrash]

listen.

don’t vote for the best candidate.

vote for the one most likely to remove a republican.

it’s that simple.

[greenjudy]

Vote them out.

[razziecat]

Vote for the candidate that sees every person as a human being.

[jumpingjacktrash]

not if they can’t win, buddy. i’m serious. LISTEN. VOTE OUT THE REPUBLICANS. EVEN IF THAT MEANS VOTING IN SOME REGULAR ASSHOLES.

if the candidate who sees every person as a human being is green party, then you vote for the democrat who sees every person as a stepping stone, because unless we get rid of the republican who sees every person as a target a lot of us are going to goddamn die. people are dying already. like, not to guilt you, but if we don’t get a democratic majority in the house and senate ASAP we’re screwed.

it doesn’t fucking matter if you voted for Jesus Actual Christ if he was running on a penny ante party ticket. we need you to vote for Joe Slick Bastard Democrat instead, because there is no such thing as a green party majority in the senate, do you understand? there will not be a green party speaker of the house. green party will not get to put up supreme court nominees.

if you vote for the Good People instead of the democrats, we’re gonna end up back in this toilet bowl again, only deeper this time because the republicans will take it as a mandate to do whatever they want.

take a deep breath, put on rubber gloves, and touch the poop. don’t be precious.

[nooneeverlookedforagirl]

In the primary you vote for the best candidate. In the general you vote for the person who can remove the Republican. You have your chance to do both.

[afishtrap]

In the primary you vote for the best candidate. In the general you vote for the person who can remove the Republican.

[knitmeapony]

I read on another post “this is about setting the difficulty of our boss battle for the next two years” and that is absolutely true.  You’re not voting for someone you agree with, you’re not voting for someone who is perfect or great or even good.

You are voting for the person who is a) going to get elected and b) is easiest to fight for what you need.  Until we move the needle, the best we can expect is ‘the best of all enemies’ and not ‘an ally’.

[apersnicketylemon]

We did this in Canada.

And guess what?

IT FUCKING WORKED.

We don’t have an awesome government, and it’s not the Prime Minister I would have liked or thought was the best or the party I would have normally voted for. The Stop Harper movement got him out, it defeated the Conservative Government resoundingly, and while it’s not ideal, it’s a far cry better and easier to work with than what we had before. It wasn’t the man who was described as ‘Stalinistic’ by his OWN party members.

[shipperwolf1]

VOTE THE RED FUCKERS OUT.

VOTE BLUE. THIS IS ONLY CHANCE. LET’S BLUE WAVE THIS SHIT!!!

[areyouahauntedpotato]

Yes, the two-party system fucking sucks, but it's what we have to work with right now. And right now, we have the guillotine of actual literal fascism hanging over our heads if the Republicans stay in power. Now is not the time to protest the unfair system; now is the time to use what we have at hand to protect ourselves and each other, even if what we have at hand is distasteful.
