Fist circuit denies emergent relief from district court order requiring resumption of SNAP food payments. Administration rushes to Supreme Court. Why they’re hellbent on this one is hard to understandβ€” it’s patently cruel.

The goal is to destroy any accountability. Fire those holding power to account and we all suffer the consequences.

A tweet from gav (@itsgavv) reads: β€œwe’re witnessing levels of racism not seen since 1962.” It quotes a tweet from Brittany Venti, who posted two photos of herself wearing blackface makeup while holding fried chicken, captioned β€œWhen that EBT hit.”

Sorry to see racists in black face thinking they can mock with impunity again. This is never okay.

Suburban man hospitalized after arrest by ICE agents Ricardo Rodriguez, 53, was arrested Sunday morning in Melrose Park by federal immigration agents and brought to an emergency room after he experienced chest pains and a head wound, his niece said.

They claim they're only taking criminals, but that is a bald-faced lie. Tackling this man, placing him in an illegal choke hold, and then beating him severely. Now he is released from the hospital and disappeared into the abusive system. Cruelty is the point.

Update on US citizen in Chicago, rammed by ICE and dragged off in unmarked vehicle
YouTube video by Parkrose Permaculture Update on US citizen in Chicago, rammed by ICE and dragged off in unmarked vehicle

It is hard to watch this and not want to kill some Not-see not-cops. Terrorizing American citizens, making false claims, then releasing without charges. No jury would convict the victims after watching this. This is just another day for the ICE monsters.

This shutdown does feel meaner. Cruel, actually. Holding SNAP despite its reserves is outright illegal, but that's par for the course with this administration.

Yale lab reports mass killings in Sudan, calls for student activism The Humanitarian Research Lab was told this week that over 10,000 people in Sudan were killed within three days.

Once upon a time the United States would have acted to stop if not prevent this (still ongoing) massacre. Now it's just about money and one man's ego.

US judge blocks Trump administration from suspending food aid benefits A federal judge in Rhode Island on Friday blocked President Donald Trump's administration from suspending all food aid for millions of Americans amid the ongoing government shutdown.

The Trump Administration went so far as to remove language about the SNAP emergency contingency fund from government websites. Now a court has ordered the administration to follow the law and distribute SNAP funding from the reserve designed for just this situation.

Surrendering freedoms at any level surrenders freedoms for all. Proposing even the idea of that surrender makes us complicit in the violence that ensues.

YouTube video by Rationality Rules How Charlie Kirk Always "OWNED The Libs" (And How 1 Student EXPOSED His Entire System)

Another deep-dive on Charlie Kirk's routinely disingenuous argumentative trickery...again against inexperienced challengers. This is why he chose college campuses over actual debates with informed, prepared opponents.

Can someone please ask him how the GOP changed the 60 vote threshold twice in the last two months to approve 150+ trump appointees in one go? Cuz they are in charge and can change the rules to open the government. And they know it. They WANT the shutdown.

Among the many ways Charlie Kirk got things wrong, the nature of the founders of the United States as Enlightenment figures versus his claim that they were Evangelical Christians.

i wrote an extended piece about this that i'll put up on youtube soon as a video. TikTok video by b-boy bouiebaisse

Trump wants to cast the left as "enemies of the state". It is his desperate way to try to control the narrative. Now he's even speaking of firing missiles into Camp Pendleton as a show of force...non-explosive obviously, but still an idiotic idea. He has lost his mind.
