A gang of ICE thugs just rolled into Chinatown, arresting street vendors on Canal Street who’ve been there for decades—they sent in an armored tank and masked agents with weapons to confront New Yorkers as protests grew in response.

Angry about this? Join our HandsOffNYC.com mass call 10/29 at 7pm.

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

The USDA releases its annual food security report today, possibly for the last time, after the Trump administration moved to end the survey and tighten SNAP rules.

It is notable that the Times article did not mention this, which, in itself, should be a huge, ongoing scandal, particularly in light of all of the concern about condescension to ordinary Americans that the Democrats supposedly display.

Top story when you go to The Guardian this AM. Which it is not when you go to the Washington Post or the NY Times. Apt language here, whereas WaPo describes the day as an airing of grievances as though we are a bunch of whining George Costanzas, not a vast public fearful of losing everything.
Millions across all 50 US states march in No Kings protests against Trump

I for one do think it's possible for America to find a president better than one who, faced with claims he is dumping shit on Americans, posts a video showing himself dumping shit on Americans.

This is important! Markey is running for reelection against a “generational change” Democrat whose position on trans rights is cynical wishy-washiness. It matters that his response hasn’t been to “moderate his position.”

Senator Ed Markey (D-MA) at the Boston No Kings rally today, wore the trans pride flag like a scarf draped over his shoulders and included in his speech. "Because here in Massachusetts, we stand for what is right. We stand with trans people because trans rights are human rights."
Sen. Ed Markey, a white man with white hair, standing at a lectern with a dark background, and Sen Elizabeth Warren to camera right, in a black top with a red blazer. Markey wears a trans pride flag draped over his shoulders. The closed caption reads "trans people because trans righs are human rights.

The most upsetting part of this story to me is the line where the Times says it is “unclear” where the money came from.

Under our constitution,
it is either extremely clear where money comes from - a congressional appropriation - or an illegal channel. So so, @nytimes.com

The huge No Kings protests, an estimated 7 million people addressing America's worst crisis since the Civil War, get a tiny headline on the New York Times homepage, with no photo.
Why does NYT think change happens only when politicians hold news conferences and not when everyday people take action?

ANY ARRESTS? Among the millions upon millions of "violent leftist radicals" that took to the streets today I cannot find word of a single arrest. Even when everything is peaceful there is usually an overzealous cop or something. This is unheard of. We need to beat the media over the head with it.

“...citizens stand shoulder to shoulder—not as partisans, but as stewards of the republic…No Kings Day is not merely a protest—it is a collective rebalancing of the civic ecosystem, a moment when ordinary citizens remind their rulers that the republic belongs to the governed.”
