The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.

Tonight was a very bad night.

Me at mayor Mamdani party

Period.

AOC: "This is about, do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And they assignment is to come together across difference no matter what."

The latest, 11pm:

Exxon funded thinktanks to spread climate denial in Latin America, documents reveal Texas-based fossil fuel company financed Atlas Network in attempt to derail UN-led climate treaty process

Oh no! Not our beloved fossil fuel company doing something shitty.

Nope. He’s not “fighting for his version of the Democratic Party.” He lost the primary and decided to run against the Democrat. He’s fighting for his own self-career desires. Nothing more noble than that. Self over party over city.

And again, a pattern of putting out statements accusing people of serious Federal crimes and then releasing them hours or days or weeks later with no charges. And no retraction.

LAPD on horses charge at and beat guests standing in line to the Short Stop in Echo Park. @shoton35mm.bsky.social

Destroying public lands.

Terrifying. An Associated Press investigation found more than 420 bills attacking longstanding public health protections such as vaccines, milk safety and fluoride have been introduced in statehouses across the US so far this year. Around 30 bills in 12 states have already been enacted or adopted.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.

They’ve had their necks kneeled on.

They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.

At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

Mike Johnson's excuse to Sen Kelly and Gallego was that other electeds had their families there and Grijalva deserves the full pomp and circumstance of the moment. He seriously could not think of anything better than an excuse debunked by "they could drive/fly in if needed"

Truly, a masterwork of takedowns.

Guys… a decade ago a community (🤚🏿) was intentional about the deep militarization of the American police against its own citizens

Love this story, Kathy!! Thanks for sharing, Sabrina!!

‘A huge victory’: ICE can’t ignore DACA protections, legal advocates say after El Paso area federal court rulings The rulings by two federal judges should send a message to Trump’s administration that it can’t arbitrarily detain individuals protected from deportation by law under the DACA policy, attorneys say.

Brett Kavanaugh: ICE agents can have a little racial profiling sometimes, as a treat

Why are people saying "this is not normal" over and over again, instead of "this is illegal" or "this is unconstitutional" or "this is treason?" Not normal sounds subjective, wishy-washy and neurotic. It communicates nothing of substance.

@ckubzansky.bsky.social and I covered the conflict between federal agents and protesters at the Broadview ICE facility yesterday for @chicagotribune.com @mandophotos.bsky.social took some compelling images on the night shift too.

It’s going to break your heart how many people you know, love, and respect will turn out to be cowards. Prepare yourself as best you can. You are not alone, but you are your own center. Be a strong center.
