I notice that the memo references "SNAP paying customers"... which they are not if they do not have any SNAP benefits to spend.

Who'd have thought People magazine would be a bastion of democracy?

NEWS: A federal judge in Rhode Island has released her written order demanding the Trump admin use emergency funds to pay SNAP food benefits. The court gave the gov until Nov 4 to ensure payments are made and says if the contingency fund runs out, they must continue to fund SNAP via other means.

JESUS

This put a smile on my face.

Kristi Noem blasts “foreigners” for dangerous driving. According to the Rapid City Journal, that state’s court records show Noem had 20 speeding tickets dating back to 1989, alongside other violations, including failure to stop at an intersection and invalid license plates.

After Greg Abbott took theirs, Houstonians are painting rainbows everywhere "The more rainbows I can paint, the better."

"WE CANNOT BE ERASED!"

This is Houstonians' response to Governor Abbott's crackdown on LGBTQ+ Pride crosswalks in the state of Texas.

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

Court rejects Texas bid to enforce abortion ruling in New York The case marked the first major challenge to New York’s telehealth shield law, which protects doctors who prescribe abortion medication to out-of-state patients.

I'm glad the court properly interpreted New York's shield law to prevent Texas from trying to enforce its abortion laws against New Yorkers. 

New York will stand strong as a safe haven for health care and freedom of choice.

Ominous

This is relevant again today. The directive just went out. Keep in mind, it’s illegal for the president to use the military as police without invoking the insurrection act.

Learned today from someone doing work in a border town in Texas that paramedics/EMTs have been instructed to not respond to medical emergencies inside detention camps.

Think about that.

NEW: SCOTUS is asking for supplemental briefing in Trump v Illinois (deployment of the national guard currently blocked). They didn’t issue an administrative stay of the TRO blocking the guard, so that’s good. BUT, that supplemental briefing? 1/

YouTube video by Democracy Docket Rachel Maddow & Marc Elias Break Down Trump's DOJ Poll Monitor Scheme

Rachel Maddow and I discuss a shocking new move by the Trump administration: sending Department of Justice “poll monitors” — handpicked by Pam Bondi — to California and New Jersey just days before the November elections and why this poses a grave threat to free and fair elections.

I got ranty today on the need for everyone to organize in response to the end of SNAP benefits, and to counteract the propaganda that wants us stuck in despair.

This is where the rubber meets the road folks. Lives are on the line and you can save them.

Let's get to work.

THIS is where resources are needed on the ground.

If you're able, consider volunteering your time with local food banks.

Our neighbors will need us.

In Chicago, an ICE Goon violently shoved a woman to the ground near a moving van.

I wasn't aware of these details either. It obviously completely changes everything we're hearing in talking points.

Had a Nazi tattoo for 10+ years. Bragged to friends about having a Nazi tattoo for years. Condemned female colleagues for their own rapes. Posted it was fine for people to get SS tattoos. Didn't cover up his tattoo until he got caught, and then chose a questionable one.

WTF are you talking about?

The energy we need is this suburban dad standing out in the street -- barefoot with Blackhawks pajama pants on -- screaming at the masked goons to get the fuck out of their neighborhood.

And if there are Trump DOJ monitors you know ICE and CBP won't be far behind...

Absolutely! Vote as early as possible in the most secure manner possible.

Not just voter suppression... blatant intimidation as a test case on the road to full control of elections.

Justice Department Will Monitor Elections in California and New Jersey

Voter suppression.

Trump and MAGA are planning for permanent power. All in front of us.
