This is literally Nazi shit. This is what the Nazis did. If you support this, you are a Nazi, and if that makes you upset, then STOP BEING A FUCKING NAZI

the extreme majority of people are not going through the humiliation of visiting a food bank for fun and even if some tiny percentage people don’t “deserve” it, whatever that means, who fucking cares

the people watching videos of long lines of cars at food bank events asking “why do people with ‘nice’ cars get free food” need to look inward and shut the fuck up

“we will rule you forever with an iron fist of suffering” is maybe not the most compelling message any administration has ever had

let’s say it another way: if trump didn’t illegally impound SNAP contingency funds, but the shutdown still happened, SNAP benefits would still go out. the end

No one should have to put up with this shit but in particular kids should not have to put up with this shit

Make Abhorrent Ideas Socially Unacceptable Again

“some people abuse SNAP” your soul is rotten

right, so … this is why the layoffs that are being attributed to ai are happening. it’s technically true but it’s not about replacing people with ai it’s about spending out the ass on ai investments and having to cover those expenses to maintain a margin by lopping off salary expenses

Family will seek 'voluntary departure' for Everett boy detained by ICE The family of the 13-year-old Everett boy detained by ICE earlier this month is pursuing the legal option to return him to their home country of Brazil.

A sad update to the story of the 13-year-old Massachusetts boy who was abducted by ICE: He is choosing to self-deport to Brazil because even if he were to win his asylum case, his lawyer says it's possible he could still remain incarcerated.

"X shouldn't be political." OK but it is. Now what?

We can disagree about policy. But we should never disagree about whether a child deserves to eat.

We literally do disagree about this, though. Some politicians want to take food from children and some politicians don't. Pretending this "isn't political" just allows the child-starving ghouls to get away with it.

Tell people who supports the *political program* to feed children and who doesn't!

this type of rhetoric hit a high for me in 2020 when I saw (completely well-intentioned) friends say stuff like, “it’s not about politics, it’s about racism” and I was like THAT IS POLITICAL, EVERYTHING IS POLITICAL

Part of our national problem is that many refuse to accept the stakes of politics, and the in-their-face-but-somehow-denied reality that “let’s not starve children, especially when there’s money for a ballroom and a foreign bailout” is not appealing to shared values, but to a partisan position.

if you actually care about millions of kids starving, you’ll shoot straight about the politics that is causing it. full stop

Trump Admin Spends Millions on ICE Ads as SNAP Runs Out of Money—Report

Research showed close to $10 million was spent in three weeks, while federal agents went without pay.

There are no national media outlets in Durango, CO - 8 hours from Denver - like there are in Chicago or LA. Grateful to have local journalists + the Durango Herald covering the latest ICE thuggery.

just on a technical level the driver being an off-duty agent who had not clocked in, wearing civilian clothes, in a “government-owned vehicle” that may or may not have been marked is really stretching that you can prove he was knowingly targeted on account of his official duties

Just want to make sure: We are not fucking giving out ramen and beef jerky on Halloween. We are giving kids CANDY and TOYS and a NORMAL HOLIDAY and then donating to food pantries and stocking our local community fridge.

very important to note that @katmabu.bsky.social is not the only political candidate being charged here. katherine sharp is a candidate for cook county board. michael rabbitt is a 45th ward democratic committeeperson.

Opinion | A Nazi Tattoo Exposes Democrats’ Greatest Weakness

“Now, I know for a fact that the working class in this country looks more like a Latino woman who cleans houses than it looks like Platner, a former defense contractor turned oyster farmer with some leftist political beliefs.”

@tressiemcphd.bsky.social always.

Platner taking his campaign in a “they’re trying to get me” direction after the tattoo is a flashing, Fetterman-shaped warning light for what he could be like if elected, and I think it’s enlightening to see who can see that and who can’t because he’s “upsetting the right people”.

these are concentration camps.

I feel like a chump coming to the (social media) defense of a political candidate, but I do really like Zohran, and it's pretty scary how his political emergence has been met with screeching bigotry by Andrew Cuomo and so many other people who ware supposedly on the left of the political spectrum.

I really like how Zohran Mamdani has run a campaign that is so focused on making New York City a safe (including from the fascism of our current federal government) and affordable place for all its residents, and I am really appalled by how racist so much of the opposition to his candidacy has been.

Trump Officials in Charge of Food Aid Leave Their Posts

yeah, i would NOT want to be in charge when 40 million americans suddenly can’t get any food and medicine for their children, while trump orders you to defy court orders and let them starve

Microsoft isn't demanding these post be taken down cause Microsoft is fine with them. Microsoft donated to the White House demolition fund. @mjgault.bsky.social reached out multiple times to Microsoft for comment in his 404 piece about it and they declined to comment. That is tacit consent.

$24,000 is a literal rounding error for the federal government but it’s being withdrawn from a service that is a “crucial part” of helping people exit homelessness

Important and helpful update!

Mamdani referred to a friend as 'bro' but a Free Press investigation has determined that this man is not his sibling.
