That 1st paragraph may be correct but characterizing folks aligning their actions with their values as having "lazy apathy" is quite a take. Not voting may ignore realities but gatekeeping how people feel is not a great take either & you are assuming that people are not acting locally w/o any info

The federal criminal justice system is being systematically dismantled and destroyed piece by piece and turned into a mob boss’s network of corrupt consiglieres and thugs, where good people simply doing their jobs are rooted out and eradicated.

HAPPENING NOW: Portland Police Commander Franz Schoening testifies that federal officers on Oct. 18 barraged protesters with crowd control munitions — not because of any violence but because another federal officer accidentally shot tear gas onto the roof of the ICE facility.

One thing that's occurred to me: SNAP is often not referred to as SNAP in states - in Wisconsin, we call it FoodShare. So some people might not even realize that their money for food is on the cusp of lapsing next month.
