Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Brown dog standing on a gray living room rug, straining toward an unseen front door. Her pink leash stretches taut behind her, anchored by a tabby cat who is biting, clasping and wrapping herself around it.
Frankie just wants to reach me at the front door. Ida is having a ball.

Cardboard sign reading "Mike Johnson's Kink is Protection Pedophiles (someone tell his accountability partner!) The person holding it is wearing a shirt that says "Abolish Ice" in different colors.
Half of the people who reacted to this sign laughed and complimented the maker. The other half looked venomous and reaffirmed that the speaker is horrible and repulsive person. No one hates him more than Louisianans. #NoKings, #Nola

Just so everyone is clear, the main issue in the Supreme Court voting rights case tomorrow is whether it's racist against white people to enforce the Voting Rights Act.

The community members record, let the target grab them and move away from ICE vehicle, throw or kick away agents' stuff but they almost never touch the agents and never apply any force to them.
