It's so infuriating that the party that is moving to prevent SNAP from buying birthday cakes is just fine with this level of grift from one of history's dumbest assholes.

True…and depressing

A study by the Center for American Progress has noted that the daily cost of the war on Iran could provide SNAP food benefits for two million Americans for a year.

I don't understand why we aren't connecting narcissistic personality disorders to being impaired. It is impairment. He can't process shame, pathologically. That's REALLY bad. It means he is incapable of effective leadership, pathologically.

This quote from Mayor Her broke my heart.

ICE has spun a massive surveillance web. We talked to people caught in it The Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE and Border Patrol, is using a broad web of surveillance tools — purchased as its budget has ballooned under this administration — to monitor, apprehend and intimidate the people it seeks to deport and the U.S. citizens critical of its policies.

DHS deports deaf boy, 6, after preventing him receiving his hearing aid, lawyer says The child, his younger brother and mother, asylum seekers from Colombia, were detained in California earlier this week

Every person who works for DHS that had any involvement in deporting anyone WITHOUT due process should be deported to a country they've never been to, with no money, no phone, no shoes, and with no knowledge of the language spoken in that country.

They're putting anti trans slogans on the trans flag so that they can say their anti trans messaging while making it like trans rights supporters are doing the violence here. It's intentional.

Billionaireism is the disease we are all suffering from.

Harper to the judge: "Your driver's license doesn't list your height and weight at birth. It doesn't list where you used to live. It identifies who you are now."

The South ending Reconstruction and plunging their populations into a backward looking culture and economy until it was forced to modernize by the Civil Rights movement is imo a very clean parallel.

100% in a desperate attempt to get Americans behind his illegal war.

"In 1933, a circle of Wall Street financiers allegedly hatched a plan to overthrow Franklin Roosevelt. They didn’t want to kill him.
They wanted to keep him in his chair, smiling for photographs, while a puppet official — controlled by the men who paid for the operation — ran the country."

Former staff show how Trump acted to upend EPA's mission and "make America sicker." Their new report details relaxed restrictions on dangerous chemicals in food, consumer products, water and air.

The report details how recent EPA decisions have relaxed restrictions on harmful chemicals in food, consumer products, water and air, increasing Americans’ exposure to 12 of the most dangerous and ubiquitous pollutants.

Ruben Ray Martinez: Footage shows US citizen shot by ICE agent in Texas traffic stop The Department of Homeland Security did not disclose Martinez was shot by one of its agents until almost a year later.

Newly released footage shows an ICE agent killing Rubin Ray Martinez, 23, in his car in Texas.

"He was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger."

In my U.S. Civil Rights Movements class, we spend a lot of time thinking about historical memory. When movements get reduced to a few iconic leaders, the collective labor that made change possible disappears from view. It also obscures an important lesson: collective action is effective & difficult.

This woman, US citizen living in Skokie, was detained at Ohare yesterday, taken to Broadview, then transferred to a detention facility in Wisconsin, now released. We know all this not because of DHS, who repeatedly denied that they even had her, but because her phone was pinging in those locations.

No Quarter And not one more inch.
