It's no coincidence, they targeted SNAP months ago.

House Speaker Mike Johnson signed bill cutting $186B from SNAP in July 2025

Users shared this true claim amid uncertainty regarding whether Americans would receive federal food benefits during the 2025 government shutdown.

I'm not a Nobel winning economist, but it seems to me the world's largest retailer and the worlds largest delivery services laying off hundreds of thousands right before the busiest retail and delivery season of the year is perhaps not an optimistic indicator of Trump's promised "Golden Age"

Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) actually told the press that Democrats would be the ones hurt most by losing SNAP.

To be fair, since he lives in Florida instead of the state he represents, maybe he doesn’t realize 752,000 Alabamians rely on SNAP—14.6% of the state’s population.

Protesters swarmed an ICE facility in Durango, CO demanding two children detained with their father be released to their mother. Durango Police say they also offered to help reunite the kids with their mother. They were unsuccessful.

Democrats are a healthy economy. We are good paying union jobs you can raise a family on and infrastructure investment. We are safe schools. Republicans are tax cuts for the Broligarchs and slashing the government jobs of people who work to make your life better.

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

"Federal agents fired a pepper round that struck the pastor of the College Heights United Church of Christ. The impact caked his face in orange powder...

“I’m in a lot of pain,” the pastor texted from the emergency room, “He clearly was aiming for the face.”

Not the first time Trump trashed a public building. Total cost of January 6: $2.7 billion.

March 24, 2025
Mr. Thomas E. Austin
Architect of the Capitol
SB-15 U.S. Capitol
U.S. Capitol Building
Washington, DC 20515
Dear Mr. Austin:
On his first day in office, despite warnings from senior Republicans, President Trump
issued a blanket pardon to the more than 1,500 people charged in the deadly January 6, 2021,
insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.1 While these sentences can be erased with the stroke of a pen,
the damage done that day is not so easily repaired. The Capitol complex withstood nearly
millions of dollars in property damage from the insurrectionists who entered the Capitol by force
and in their wake “left windows broken, doors splintered, and paintings stained with pepper
spray and tear gas.”2 The total cost of the insurrection to the taxpayers is estimated to be $2.7
billion, and that does not account for the lives lost due to the violence that day.3 Thanks to
President Trump’s reckless pardons, convicted rioters can not only walk freely, but they also are
no longer required to pay their court-ordered restitutions, much of which was owed directly to
your office.

It's hard to overstate how fully engaged Chicago and the surrounding suburbs are in this ICE madness. There are neighborhood watch alerts, spontaneous crowds gathering outside schools at pick up & drop off plus madly blowing whistles and honking car horns, this city is fighting back and hard.

These guys get $50k signing bonuses.

Stephen Miller is telling them they have immunity and encouraging them to create chaos.

They get almost no training, many couldn’t pass an open book exam & they’re allowed to hide their faces.

They’re swinging assault rifles around in public.

Abolish ICE
