Food, water and housing are basic human rights … yet many people will be struggling to keep a roof over the heads and food on the table with SNAP funding cut off.

Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens is trying to ease the burden.

He’s paused evictions and water shut offs through Jan 31st 2026.

Atlanta pauses evictions, water shutoffs as SNAP funding lapses

In realistic trauma recovery we need to remember that neither our comfort zone nor our desire for comfort is our "enemy."

Growth happens when we push ourselves, then give ourselves time & fuel to recover-- & that recovery & rebuilding happens where we feel safe & comfortable.

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

"... It isn't ICE. It isn't CBP. It's a Frankenstein force, stitched together from multiple agencies but loyal to none. Its purpose is to create a community response designed for social media clicks, rather than to keep communities safe..."
This is fascism

Opinion | The White House's sweeping overhaul of ICE is creating a Frankenstein force

The recent wave of ICE senior official reassignments has a clear motive.

It’s the first of the month. That means tenants in Los Angeles have officially been on utility strike for 6 months. They are refusing to pay their RUBS (ratio utility billing system) utility bills while they demand transparency for their high monthly bills.

Obama: "The weird videos of a US president with a crown on his head flying a fighter jet & dumping poop on American citizens - that's not even worth booing about. Because all of that is a distraction from the fact that your situation, your life has not gotten better. They do it so you won't notice"

There are bonafide monsters stalking the earth eagerly and enthusiastically distributing suffering to anyone they please. And with no recourse on our end but to film them and shout and beg for anyone with power to stop them. How convenient that the monopoly on violence always also acts as a shield.

Every headline is a moral injury

Every single post is like a punch in the face. Every headline is a moral injury. Could be I’m extending too much grace here but it occurred to me recently that maybe all of the people who “don’t pay ...

Awful: Pentagon officials told lawmakers Trump now claims authority to bomb people merely “affiliated” with “narco-terrorist" groups, Rep Adam Smith tells me. But under questioning, they wouldn't say what “affiliated” even means!

I gotta be real, I did not suspect we would reach "roving mobs of white folks chanting "shame" at ICE" within 9 months, and it really feels like a sign of how much more horrifying it must be on the ground than those of us not there can even imagine.
