So the one to 25,000 bad apples in the NYPD are "self-deporting?" What a great way to weed out the most prejudiced assholes. Congratulations, New York City!

In New Jersey, a single mother struggled to figure out how to feed her two young sons with $50. In Oklahoma, a 61-year-old woman questioned whether driving to a food pantry was worth the gas money. And in Colorado, a woman grabbed food from a Walmart dumpster.

Richest nation in human history

Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

If you ever crowd funded for a funeral, a lawyer, a whatever tf I better not hear you speak about “why ppl don’t just work instead of relying on SNAP” and how “SNAP is just a hand out”

This this this. My dad is a former bodybuilder (since age 17) and current coach (for wellness and competitive bodybuilding across age, race, and gender) and he is both very liberal and a gym room menace at 61. And he deals with this dynamic so often with confusion — they can’t “out tough” him!

You can “do everything right” and *still* need safety net programs.

I had a run in with ICE snatching a man out of his car while walking my children to school this morning in NW DC

I asked a neighbor to continue walking my kids to school and I turned back to document and confront the ICE agents.

I am in contact with @dcmigrantmutualaid.org with the full video.

CNN: "A brand new report is out showing layoff announcements hit their highest level for October in over 20 years. It's painting a picture of a job market that is really hurting. US-based employers announced 150,074 job cuts in October, more than any October since 2003."

SHAME 🛎️ SHAME 🛎️ SHAME🛎️

Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video.

I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children.

But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week.

Excessive force. PERIOD!

They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor.

📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.

There are millions of guns circulating in Germany. But we don't have 45k gun deaths per year (or rather: We don't have 11k proportionally, because we have 82 million citizens instead of 340m in the US). That's because, despite all the guns, we also have among the most strict gun laws in the world.

When white people react with hostility to sharing space with Black and brown folk, they don’t care if those folk were born here, migrated legally, or are “illegal aliens.” They only see non-white faces who “don’t belong in their space.” This is why “ordinary concern” about migration is basic racism.

ICE is now using facial recognition software— including on American citizens — to detain people its app concludes are in the country illegally.

This, as Trump says ICE raids "haven't gone far enough."

Connect the dots: No one is safe from Trump's tyranny.

Charities cannot fill the gap left by the disruption in SNAP benefits!

I don't resent poor people who use food stamps to buy another soft drink.

I resent rich people who take away the funds for food stamps to buy another yacht.

Trump wanted to "shoot them" - the millions that protested against him. When he faced opposition to that, he asked "Maybe shooting them in the legs?".

This is why you don't want the state to define who lives and who dies, because the parameters why, will just change on a whim otherwise.

I have never seen so many food AND medication recalls in my life!

You don’t actually own anything that exists exclusively on a digital platform that you haven’t stored separately on your device. Your “ownership” can be revoked at any time

Kristi Noem says “There's no American citizens that have been arrested or detained."

Tell that to George Retes. This U.S. Army veteran and American citizen was wrongfully arrested and brutalized by ICE while simply trying to get to work.

The EPA Let Companies Estimate Their Own Pollution Levels. We Discovered Real Emissions Are Far Worse. Trump has put a stop to EPA rules that would have required more than 130 industrial facilities to install air monitors

ProPublica Found that More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.

Pritzker: "Imagine it. Children who woke up that morning, expectant with joy & excitement to put on their costumes & celebrate with their neighbors in what they thought was a safe place at their homes. Armed, masked agents, terrorizing innocent people, especially children, is unconscionable."

Food is a human right, not a privilege. This country is failing.
