'Heavy-handed': Border Patrol arrests two U.S. citizens in Charlotte for allegedly warning others of operation Two women are accused of honking their horn to alert others that Border Patrol troops were in the area.

Why did they arbitrarily demand "25 yards" be witness-free?
Because their illegal detentions and perjury were proven by cell phone cameras.
Unlike the landscapers they are tackling, I can afford a lawyer.

Worker's bootprint left in the concrete dust of the half-finished repair job.

Handwritten sign witnesses posted at the scene of the kidnapping (translated from Spanish): "Hi, we saw what happened. We have your equipment; it's at Home Depot. Please just ask for Richard. We're keeping it safe."

The workers' equipment abandoned on the sidewalk by the goons, but protected by people who work for a living. I'm told co-workers collected it later.

In Charlotte NC yesterday bands of masked goons dragged US citizens out of their cars, & came onto private property to try to kidnap workers installing Christmas lights (because, "Yay, Jesus!"). Among the arrests, they snatched two workers repairing a concrete expansion joint in a shopping center.

190. SNAP WTF? A very quick explainer on why Justice Jackson issued an "administrative stay" in the SNAP case late on Friday night, and on what's likely to happen next

Good (speculative, but well-reasoned) explanation of the 48 hour stay of the 1st Circuit order that the Administration is required to fund SNAP.

“The Trump Administration has the money to fully fund the SNAP program but is on a mission to withhold that funding so that they can continue to use the hunger of 42 million Americans as a bargaining chip,”

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

It's their standard attack, and most effective because Republicans amplify it to give cover to their own naked White supremacy.

No cake, either. This is negative eugenics through starvation and disease.

"A majority of white evangelical Protestants believe...immigrants are invading the country (57%)... and that the government should place immigrants into militarized internment camps until they can be deported (56%)."
