Judge to release hundreds detained by ICE in Chicago area A federal judge on Wednesday ordered 615 people detained by ICE in the Chicago area be released on bond by noon on Friday.

Maybe a small ray of hope that this madness will abate.

You should listen to me, Trump. I've said over and over always check everything on multiple sites. This is one reason why: you now look like an idiot.

Dear MAGA: No shit able-bodied people are on SNAP. The β€œS” in SNAP stands for β€œsupplemental.” As in it β€œsupplements” the crumbs your slave-driving boss pays you.

Neighborhood rallies to help food pantry after vandalism A Kansas City neighborhood is coming together after vandals wrecked a food pantry at a nearby apartment complex.

Want to bet it was Trump supporters who did this? You know, people like Trump and the Republicans who want to make sure no one gets any help.

Remember.
CHECK EVERYTHING.
If your reaction to a headline, a meme, a speech from a politician is outrage or "yeah, that's exactly what I thought" - then they have manipulated you just the way they wanted.
CHECK IT.
They do NOT have your welfare at heart.

Haitians REVIVE Ohio Town; NOW Trump Has Ruined It
YouTube video by The Logical Leftist Haitians REVIVE Ohio Town; NOW Trump Has Ruined It

Springfield OH was a dying town.
Until the Haitians discovered jobs and opportunity there. Until the Haitians moved in and paid taxes and supported local businesses.
Now, thanks to MAGA and Trump and all the prejudice policies, Springfield is dying again.

ICE was supposed to find and apprehend immigrants with a criminal background.
They've apprehend immigrants who are working & paying taxes and whose only "crime" incomplete or insufficient paperwork. PAPERWORK

If a city feels its police force needs help it can petition the governor of the state for assistance from the National Guard of that state - as has happened in New Mexico. If by justice & safety you are referring to helping ICE, ICE has created an unsafe environment by illegal operations.

This is ridiculous waste of our tax payer money. The undocumented immigrant should have been given a summons and told to appear at whatever office handles this and get his status sorted out. THIS IS A PAPERWORK ISSUE, NOT A CRIME.

SNAP is the new name for Food Stamps.
If you think you are not affected by the government shut down because you get Food Stamps and you have seen that as of Nov 1 there won't be any SNAP benefits, think again.
They are the same program, just different names.

There is only one way to stop the insanity.
Remove the cancer at the TOP.
There is no point in addressing one issue or outrage at a time. There will always be another until you remove the source: Trump and his entire administration.

Venezuela's Maduro says US 'fabricating war' after it deployed huge warship The deployment marks a major escalation in what the US says is a campaign against drug traffickers, which Trump warns will include "land action".

This president needs to be stopped.
If you are one of the macho idiots who wants to just tote a gun and shoot people then volunteer for a war already in progress. There are plenty to choose from
THIS one needs to be nipped in the bud.

Trump is not saving money, he is COSTING us billions.
Legal fees to fight his ILLEGAL moves.
Airplanes that benefit no one except him & his cronies.
Deploying National Guard where it is not wanted or needed.
Make no mistake.
YOU are paying for this.

Trump promised to cut spending.
He fired swathes of federal employees in a cost saving effort that barely puts a dent in the debt.
A move that reduced the ability of departments to warn of natural disasters, aid in recovery, and fund DAILY LIFE.

There is no justice or safety in mobilizing the National Guard to invade cities that were doing just fine on their own. If they needed additional help they could petition the Governor of their state for National Guard from their own state.

Every time the National Guard is mobilized YOU pay for it. YOUR tax dollars. If they are activated by the federal government - ie Trump - then federal tax dollars pay for it.
Tell me again, how is this SAVING money?
