Sailor Mars shopping-cart surfing with the caption: if you see someone stealing food, no you didn't.

Hey.

At the same time, there are legitimate debates about the best ways to feed the needy, how many should qualify and how much they should get. In the 1970s, 1 in 50 Americans received food stamps. Now, 1 in 8 do. On average, these households get $322 a month. Are 42 million Americans really in such danger of suffering malnutrition that the federal government should spend about $100 billion every year

Certainly, many need the help. The American Enterprise Institute's Kevin Corinth estimates that 2.9 million individuals willbe pushed into poverty if SNAP benefits are not paid in November, including 1.1 million children, 1.3 million working-age adults and about 500,000 seniors. But no one should aspire for large segments of the population to depend on government handouts. The program could certainly be designed better to not discourage work. Ultimately, the best way to help over the long run is to grow the economy, which leads to job creation and rising wages.

Are you people fucking kidding me with this shit @washingtonpost.com www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Multiple accounts on ICE Watch Facebook pages are reporting that agents pulled a couple out of their vehicle in Aurora, Illinois, arrested them, and then abandoned the couple’s toddler in the backseat.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Hey man, as long as he doesn’t have any fake “aunts,” it’s all cool.

My best friend growing up was my mother’s first cousin’s son. She was technically my cousin, but under no circumstances would it have been weird to refer to her as an aunt, since that’s essentially the role she played.

As millions of Americans are about to lose their SNAP benefits, I am reminded of this quote by Emma Goldman:

"Ask for work. If they don't give you work, ask for bread. If they do not give you work or bread, then take bread."

I’ve been informed by my better half that these will be sent to my nephews.
I’m good with that.

A bunch of 15-25 year old band stickers spread across a dining room table. Stickers include Mastodon, Primate, Combat Records, High on Fire, Dillinger Escape Plan, Unsane, Hatebreed, Cephalic Carnage, and Buried Inside.

Found a bunch of old stickers in a comic box that I didn’t realize I still owned.

Musk always makes me think of this story from Kurt Vonnegut:

At a party he asked Joseph Heller how he felt that their host, a hedge fund manager, made more money in a day than he had earned from Catch-22 over its whole history.
Heller responds,“Yes, but I have something he will never have. ENOUGH.”

Guillermo del Toro quote "...think about wealth for me for example. A wealthy man that has enough..."

"not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite somebody to beer..."

"...you're rich. If you have, whatever-"

"- yachts and planes and islands and you STILL need more? You're not rich."

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

The desperate need to accumulate more and more at the cost of everyone else’s wellbeing should be classified as a mental disorder, and I will absolutely die on this hill.

1) we’ve had the productive capacity to produce food for every living person on this planet

2) we have the logistics to deliver these to every person on this planet

3) we have ideologies and philosophies to know that’s good

That we don’t is a choice. And a moral failure.

Teens heading to school. Racial profiling isn’t just something they do, it’s all they do.

Wow he’s gonna be so mad when he hears his podcast.

A very disturbing video has emerged from today’s ICE/CBP operations in Avondale.

An officer pushes a woman to the ground, prompting bystanders to react angrily and throw what appears to be a rock at a moving unmarked vehicle.

This seems to be the new normal in Chicago.

I’m not sure when D politicians will come to understand that the base GOP voter will lower his own dick into a garbage disposal if it meant a lib had to watch

Gas section part of triple Cs canister

It's not even 11am yet, and federal agents have gassed the northwest side of Chicago twice this morning.

Just before 10, NWSRR reports they detained two people in Irving Park, one of them known to be a US citizen: www.instagram.com/p/DQPKhmDEd4W/

Video from today's first gas attack.

Saturday morning in Chicago.

out of the 4 nazi symbols on his uniform, platner defended soldiers getting tattoos of two of them

When dressing up as a Nazi for Halloween is even remotely acceptable then you know as a country we have lost the plot.

We can never normalize this:

More from the scene

Border patrol agents deployed tear gas on the 3700 block of North Kildare where residents say a landscape worker, a resident, and a woman on a bike were detained. Video from a resident.

The Jolly Roger flag

Apparently some folks are playing real dumb about skull symbols so let’s play a little game I like to call “Nazi skull or not a Nazi skull”

First up, the Jolly Roger. This is a pirate skull, not a Nazi skull. It means you might get robbed, but prolly not genocided.

With me so far? 1/x

DHS post calling on people to “defend your hearth and home.” With a picture of knights and the text the enemies are at the gate.

Picture of a Teutonic knight and Celtic warrior facing down a horde of leftists with a giant Jewish spider behind them.

These are, and I cannot stress this enough, the same image.

This is a U.S. citizen being brutally abducted by ICE while his mom pleads for them to stop and the videographer cries for help. The Chicago police do nothing to stop it.

They will come for everyone, and they’re not even hiding that anymore. If you are not organizing and resisting yet, get started.

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

i think platner having served as a guard at abu ghraib and then gone back as a blackwater merc is actually just as if not more disqualifying than the nazi tattoo
