Texas buses border immigrants to Chicago Illinois, then sends Texas National Guard to Illinois to address the “illegal immigration problem” there?

Who’s capitalizing on this created issue?

AG Andrea Joy Campbell @massago.bsky.social · 2d

The federal government has the money to continue funding SNAP benefits — they’re choosing to suspend it and harm millions of families across the country already struggling to make ends meet.

I’m leading a lawsuit against the Trump Administration to release these funds immediately.

Thought experiment, how much of the White House could the president tear down before anyone in power did anything meaningful to stop it? Like if he just kept going?

Not me or any of the farmers I work with. We are highly committed to connecting local fresh food to those in need in our communities. You’re thinking of farm conglomerates with no connection to their local economies

Another good time to remind people that “tear gas” is a term of copaganda that police, the military, and its manufacturers use to obscure that it is a dangerous chemical weapon internationally banned for use even in warfare.

In Massachusetts we still use paper ballots marked with black markers. Collection machines are attended by police officers. We had several recounts in this state in the last few years (the latest in Boston’s mayoral primary last month) with no issues of fraud or delays. It’s safe and it works.

“Much lesser things, things that take place in the home, they call crime. You know, they’ll do anything they can to find something. If a man has a little fight with the wife, they say, ‘This was a crime, see?’ “

There’s always a hidden connection in these statements by Trump.

A 12-foot statue of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein frolicking and holding hands appeared on the National Mall in Washington, DC on Tuesday, September 23.

A plaque under the statue states that it has been erected “In Honor of Friendship Month."
