Well, given snap is frozen, and apparently it will take potentially weeks to issue benefits after the shutdown lifts, I'm officially out of food and I don't have enough money to go shopping for food.
I've got hypoglycemia and I have no idea what I'm going to do.

Well my application for asylum in Canada has officially been rejected, and from what I hear Canada is rejecting applications en masse.
This really harkens back to 1939 when Canada was rejecting Jews escaping the Holocaust.

Oh, by the way, I wrote in @thenation.com about how Trump is condeming millions of Americans to hunger this Thanksigiving with his accelarated timeline of adding work requirements for SNAP benefits.
I also discussed how work requirements provably don't work, for the neoliberals in your life.

Trump Has Just Condemned More Americans to Hunger
The administration’s decision to fast-track a bunch of changes to food stamps—including new work requirements—is as stupid as it is cruel.

Remember, we've been getting a stream of details about the supposed coordinated attack on ICE in Texas that contradict the government's story.
ICE reportedly opened fire on rapid responders on the southwest side this afternoon.
There are *very few* details on this available at this time. Treat all rumors with caution until verified.
This Sun-Times article cites a DHS statement that should be treated, as always, with extreme skepticism:

"You are seen and you are loved" without the promise of safety or protection is a meaningless, hollow gesture.
We need people to embody "You will be safe, and you will be protected." We need people to actually do something and stand up for trans rights.
When all we want is to be able to exist.

as much as i agree this is true i think its worth pointing out that it would be bad and should be opposed with just as much fierceness if their sole target was trans people
I believe this to my core. They're using trans people as a test case to dismantle individual rights in the US.
Trans rights are not the rights of a tiny minority, trans rights are everyone’s rights to self-determination, control of our bodies, and a society where opportunity and aesthetics are not restricted by sex assigned at birth
You should support and defend trans people because trans people are people
