Minnesota cop who fabricated a sex-trafficking ring won't be held accountable The officer made up information and lied multiple times under oath but the government says she has federal immunity.

This case underscores how SCOTUS made it impossible to hold immigration cops accountable for the abuses you see in all those videos.

A federal task force cop manufactured evidence to put an innocent woman behind bars for two years. Because of SCOTUS-conferred immunity, the case never got to a jury.

When SNAP benefits run out, 'people can die,' say health experts “People can die” from even short gaps in nutrition and food access, experts say ahead of SNAP benefits not going out in November in at least 25 states.

Millions who rely on #SNAP to feed their families are caught in the crosshairs. “We need to remember that #SNAP is the safety net. Below the safety net is concrete.” www.statnews.com/2025/10/27/s...

"Eri" is harvesting olives near Redley CA and often ends up making below minimum wage. "Farm labor is not valued. The bosses don't care. We earn very little and the work is very risky with us climbing a 16ft ladder. It's the rainy season & our checks are very low." #WeFeedYou

Jesus Christ my pta wants to help families who are losing SNAP benefits and I said ok let’s raise money went give gift cards to the families.

I can’t deal with white people today.

Utah has just approved a 1,300-person “mega camp” for homeless individuals,This camp lacks transportation, features locked units, and even imposes forced labor.

They refer to this facility as “work-conditioned housing,” but we simply call it what it is: modern-day internment.

Kennedy

What graceful repose

What shocking admission

How tightly is tamped

The orzo to perdition.

Gay was the boat

Heavy the tangles

Stern after accident

Camera and angles.

How dumb was the horse

How dead was the brother

How great the Red Wind

Under Kennedy smothered.
