New — While some states have received SNAP benefits for November and USDA is supposedly pushing through all federal payments soon, that doesn’t erase the psychological terror of the last few weeks.

Case in point: the South isn't perfect (no region is), but folks would do well to remember that gerrymandering and voter suppression make our region look redder than it actually is. NY gave us Trump and CA gave us Reagan. Regional politics aren't simple, and writing places off can't be the move rn.
Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.
Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

Stockton, CA: Heavily armed masked kidnappers drove up in an unmarked car and pulled a landscaper out of his truck and kidnapped him. When the landscaping company owner asked the men what they were doing, the kidnappers assaulted him and pulled out a metal baton.

With the tragic assassination of a Minnesota Democratic leader, I’m going to underline this point again.
I know there's a lot going on, but the Secretary of Homeland Security declaring that federal troops are in California and Los Angeles to "liberate" the state and city from its duly-elected leaders really is a fourteen-alarm fire.
It's mind-blowing how little attention this extraordinary statement has received. It's briefly mentioned in a couple news articles, but this MSNBC opinion piece is the only extended discussion of it I've seen: www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

What makes good leaders unusual isn't that they've figured everything out, but that they've arranged things so that they can, from time to time, gain a real insight that they can leverage to dramatic effect, as opposed to solely managing a slow loss of control or lashing out blindly and recklessly.
