Reason #34,761 ICE should not be allowed in care settings/schools/anywhere.

The level of violent incompetence displayed by ICE is staggering.

Two Thoughts:

If they're not receiving SNAP during the shutdown, they're not a SNAP client.

How cynical and cruel do you have to be to declare OR enforce this?

If this is enforced I hope everyone involved looks in the eyes of a hungry child and has nightmares.

USDA prohibits SNAP discounts during shutdown unless retailers have waivers

The SNAP Equal Treatment Rule prevents retailers from treating food stamp customers differently, but using it in this way appears to be unprecedented.

So Kash Patel got caught in the act of doing something he roasted his predecessor for and summarily fired the guy who caught him? We are now a banana republic because of people just like this.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.

The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.

They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.

Wanna fix fraud and abuse?

Fix that.

Tomorrow is election day and many people will be asking themselves whether their lives are better now than they were a year ago. How they answer that question may well be determined by how wealthy they are.

That right there is the problem.

The greatest threat to America isn’t a foreign enemy or a failed economy; it’s the gleeful hatred of Americans who no longer believe their neighbors deserve to exist.

For the second time in a little over a week, ICE officers reportedly shot someone in Los Angeles.

This time, it was a US citizen who ICE officers shot from behind after he warned them that children would soon gather for the bus where they had pulled over a vehicle.

Remembering Ruth Helene Henriette Lilienfeld, only 13 when she was murdered. Also remembering her sister, Margo Margarete, who was 15, and their father, Ernst, who was 50. May they rest in peace. Ruth was a pretty girl, a new teen, when she was murdered. Stop fascists and neo-Nazis. Never again!
