Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens is trying to ease the burden.

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

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

We are seeing not just a merging of different parts of the armed forces; we are also seeing a deprofessionalization. Competent people are fired. Those willing to break the law are hired. Normal practices are abandoned as the new force becomes more responsive to the demand for quotas & brutalization.
Experts warn this aggressive approach will likely fuel greater abuses of civil and human rights, heighten public anger and lead to more warrantless arrests, straying far from the previous stated focus on “the worst of the worst.” “Spectacle, not security.” www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/02/b...

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"

Obama: "The economy has been really good for some of Trump's billionaire friends. It's been good for some finance bros and well-connected corporations who have seen their tax bill go down. But for ordinary families, costs have not gone down, they've gone up."

“We must act to stop this evil and witness to the goodness and dignity of all God’s children,” the 200+ clergy write. “For us, the stakes couldn’t be higher. As Matt 25:46 clarifies, those who refuse hospitality to the stranger, refuse to see Jesus in the faces of the persecuted, stand condemned.”
ICE agents “can put away their assault rifles and bully sticks,” clergy write. “They can give up their pepper spray and rubber bullets. They can choose not to do this, cross to the other side of the fence and join us for communion.”
