A SSRS/CNN poll showing 61% people think Trump has gone too far using the power of the presidency and 57% think he's gone too far deporting immigrants.

People fucking hate this guy. They fucking hate ICE. They fucking hate how much power he has. He is at 63% overall disapproval to 37% approval. That's lower than their poll after January 6th. And this poll was done before he started intentionally starving people. I wish our media would reflect this.

This magazine just fired all of their politics staffers

north of three and a half million dollars a year so this egotistical creep can play big girl cops and robbers

Running gag goes meta as Johnson says he knows nothing about Trump knowing nothing

“every time theres a republican president the economy collapses” feels like pretty easy messaging on the economy

It's appropriate that this sentiment comes after the industry realized that they haven't done anything useful in 20 years so they descended into mass psychosis over tech that does nothing but purports to do everything

The two litmus tests of this era:

- Do you explicitly support the state of Isreal’s actions
- Do you believe trans people should be thrown under the bus

I’m a “healthcare guy” but if you align with the above points then you can go run off a cliff as far as my political support is concerned

Carlos Jimenez, a 24-year-old U.S. citizen, was on his way to work at a food bank when he was shot by ICE officers in what a DHS spokesperson calls “defensive shots.” On Thursday morning at approximately 6:30 a.m., ICE officers were at Vineyard Avenue in Ontario when Jimenez, who was not in the target vehicle, attempted to pull in front of the officers. According to Javier Hernandez, executive director of the Inland Coalition for Immigrant Justice, Jimenez was trying to assist and provide aid to the person who was being stopped by ICE officers. After Jimenez was shot in the shoulder, the LA Times and LA Taco reported that he drove to his brother’s house so he could take him to the hospital.

ICE shot an American citizen and food bank worker who tried to block them arresting an immigrant by pulling his car in front of them.
After being released from hospital: "He is now facing charges for assault on a federal officer."

Weird how an extremely corrupt administration says all of the programs that help working class people are corrupt

sometimes they say things that are such blatant, on the nose projections that i start to wonder if they aren't all secretly expert trolls

and then they say windmills cause cancer or some dumb shit and i feel foolish for ever considering the notion

Me too, babe. Me too.

This type of racism is also why the US doesn’t have a public healthcare system.

Too many white people who would benefit from it are opposed to sharing resources with Black Americans.

They’d rather have segregated care that’s *worse* instead of integrated care that’s better for everyone.

Nextdoor post: Dear Friends and Neighbors. As we all heard the news about SNAP benefits/EBT program might not be available on November 1st until the Government figure something out. Talking to my customers, there is lots of tension and stress about food. At Garry's we have always tried our best to be part of this neighborhood and our community. So, if there are little Children in the house and Senior Citizens who are in the need. Please drop off your grocery list at Garry's with the clerk and 1 willtry my best to get whatever on the list i can. I can not promise that we will be able to get everything for everybody but will definitely try our best so no one have to sleep empty stomach. It goes for all, but kids and seniors are main priority. 4601 N. Pearl Street Tacoma WA 98407. Please feel free to reach out for any questions. Thank you Garry S. Gill

Oh damn, I'm definitely going to be spending more money at Garry's in Tacoma.

Trump is holding a Great Gatsby/Roaring 20s-themed party at his private club in Palm Beach tonight as he tries to withhold SNAP and health care subsidies from millions of Americans. (via Kellie Meyer)

The Onion: ICE Agent, 7-Year-Old Both Wearing Same ‘Military Commando’ Halloween Costume

Here's a short video of an Edison Park man confronting border patrol. You can hear others in the background. #chicago

I'm being entirely serious when I say that this is one of the core commitments of reactionary politics: demand all the privileges, refuse any of the responsibility.

A new federal lawsuit alleges detained people are suffering from “horrific and inhumane” conditions at the ICE processing facility in Broadview. blockclubchi.co/4320Suw

Gosh, who could have predicted that the men who complained that they were being "censored!" during the pandemic phase of Covid (Prasad, Bhattacharya) are now leading the nation's health agencies & CENSORING others?

"staffers are terrified of pushing back on Prasad, lest they face retaliation"

Get his ass, *checks name*, Mitch McConnell.

Nutrition assistance is NOT corrupt. Food stamps kept my family fed when my mom had to look for work after my dad got sick with MS.

The Trump administration wants kids, seniors, and veterans to go hungry. They are REFUSING to use emergency funds to keep SNAP benefits going.

All of this is true enough as far as it goes. But even more problematic is the fact that when the U.S. Coast Guard interdicts suspect vessels, boarding and searching for drugs, a quarter of the time they find no contraband.

We're not just murdering drug smugglers.
We are murdering innocent people.

The media is about to blitz us with stories about how awful Maduro is and I want you to remember that even if they're all true, they are being issued solely for the purpose of manufacturing consent for invading Venezuela and killing innocent people.

they know they're supposed to be blaming the Democrats for the shutdown making people's lives worse, but they're so passionate about the concept of making people's lives worse that they can't stop themselves from talking about how they think people's lives should be worse

A screenshot of a post on X by Tim Pool (@Timcast). The tweet says, “Ms Rachel is a demon who harms children. Keep your kids away from this shit.” Below it is a retweeted post from Complex Pop Culture about Ms. Rachel criticizing the government for cutting SNAP food aid. The attached image shows Ms. Rachel wearing a pink shirt and denim overalls, speaking animatedly with her hand raised. Two quotes from her Instagram post are featured: one says, “People who say they are Christian and want to cut SNAP, Jesus said to feed the hungry,” and the other says, “Imagine slashing SNAP, the program that helps children in the US not go hungry, while sending billions in weapons to another country to kill children.”

The complete inversion of morals on the right is not surprising but it's still shocking. Imagine being on the side of intentionally starving children.

The group chat pings around school drop-off and dismissal time. “All quiet at [Elementary School X],” one message says, or “smooth sailing at [Middle School Y].” Neighbors are on heightened alert because a federal government helicopter has been doing laps over our communities…

The Washington Post with a story about how remaking an institution to appeal to the pro-Trump right doesn't help the bottom line.

this is blood libel gutter racism of the kind that you only encounter if you or your staff are spending a lot of time in online spaces that are avowedly white supremacist
