With SNAP expiring, at least one Calif community is responding not by helping people get food, but by threatening hungry people with arrest

This is what we mean when we say policing is a policy choice that creates crime

Here’s the math that proves it 🧵

California police boost patrols at grocery stores as millions set to lose SNAP benefits

Over 5.5 million Californians, including 2 million children, are set to lose their SNAP benefits this Saturday.

Not quite a ghost sorry but--I used to live on the Big Island of Hawaii and Native Hawaiians warn against taking any lava rock from the Island because you will be cursed by Pele the goddess of fire and creation. If you look on reddit, there are stories of people mailing back their stolen lava rocks

Val and I checked repeatedly because we simply couldn't believe no national or local news organizations covered this letter from 18 AGs in support of trans youth care and against FTC overreach.

If you find any stories, let us know, but it seems to be our exclusive.

Assigned Media @assignedmedia.org · Oct 1

On Friday 18 blue state attorneys general BLASTED the Federal Trade Commission, telling it to back off trans youth healthcare and warning of an insidious attempt to reshape the regulation of medicine in the US.

And nobody covered it.

BREAKING: Reverend Sue Parfitt, 83, was just arrested under the Terrorism Act again, for a sign which said "I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action"

Early this week she said: "Palestine Action are not a terrorist organisation. They damaged weapons used on Palestinians."

"Warrior Girl Unearthed" is new but is about 11th graders so it might be perfect? Native American history plus heist?

There is a water main break on West 7th in St. Paul, so I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you see emergency vehicles outside the Children's Museum, everything is okay.

the intensity of my anger at those who would criminalize the homeless — a population literally created by the greed and callousness of the ruling class — is very hard to contain. it was you who dismantled the safety net. if you don’t like the results, put it back
