If ICE agents begins harassing voters on the way to vote on Tuesday, we need local prosecutors to charge the ICE officers with state law crimes. We need to send a message for 2026 that they will be swiftly arrested.

The USDA is the fail safe for SNAP.
They have a contingency fund to ensure itβs covered in the event of a shutdown.
Theyβre refusing.
Grocery stores stepped up to try and help by offering discounts to any SNAP recipients and the USDA told them they had to stop.
Starvation as a policy choice.

A digital poster in the style of a World War II propaganda piece. Isolaed on a yellow background, a normal, squarish, 20-something guy with glasses is sitting working on a laptop. A ghostly figure of Hitler has his arm around the guy and is grinning and shaking a fist triumphantly looking at the laptop screen. On the lid of the laptop where an apple might otherwise be is an openAI logo, bright green, and dripping green ooze down the lid. Text on the poster, in combinations of sans-serif type and brush script reads:
Using Generative AI?
Youβre prompting with Hitler!
GenAI is a Fascist Project!
Try using your brain instead
Donβt surrender your creativity to the tech billionaireβs control

Also as of my last check, 35% of all military families (1-2 actively serving adult servicemembers who are married or domestic partners + any dependents) rely on SNAP benefits, which is up 10% in the last 10 years.

SNAP benefits feed essential needs while still leaving many hungry for more
Journalist and author Adam Chandler explains what so much of the conversation about them gets wrong.
β70% of wage-earning adults who rely on government programs like SNAP and Medicaid work full-time, many at hugely profitable companies like Walmart and McDonaldβs whose low wages are effectively subsidized by tax dollars without any of the blame or paternalistic lectures.β

SNAP benefits feed essential needs while still leaving many hungry for more
Journalist and author Adam Chandler explains what so much of the conversation about them gets wrong.
As SNAP hangs in the balance for nearly 42 million people, misinformation is rampant. Myths of laziness and fraud persist when we should be talking about too low wages for workers, income inequality, and our threadbare social safety net.

When they say "move towards the center" they mean "go further right"
The Democrat party is already on the right. The reason why "centrists" in America are seen as secret right wingers is because the center is firmly in the right.
Wouldn't be that way if we had an actual left wing.

Hi Matt-
In a story published today by ProPublicaΒ about NC Chief Justice Paul Newby, there's a quote from an email you sent to them in response to a request for comment. It quotes you as sayingΒ βIβm sure youβre aware of our connections with the Trump Administration and Iβm sure they would be interested in this matter. I would strongly suggest dropping this story.β
What are your connections to the Trump administration? Why do you think they would be interested in this story? And what do you believe they would do about it if they became aware?
Thank you,
