this morning, ICE went into a Spanish language immersion daycare and took a teacher from the building in front of screaming and crying kids and parents at dropoff and the daycare had to shut down for the day (near Lane Tech, where they were yesterday). Really hoping today's "theme" is not "daycare."

To all the people that tell you “the Democrats are holding the government hostage”: remind them that Trump has been ORDERED by the courts to pay just HALF of November’s food stamps- and intends to violate that order. An American President. Letting Americans starve. The Dems didn’t do that. HE IS.

Your daily reminder that Trump absolutely can fund SNAP through contingency funds.
He absolutely can prevent 42 million Americans — including 20 million children — from going hungry next month.
He is choosing not to. Don’t let him lie his way out of this.

Things were tough after Dad died when I was a kid. I remember Mom paying for groceries with food stamps- the old, paper-in-a-coupon-book style food stamps. (IYKYK lol). I was so embarrassed. Now I’m more ashamed of how my behavior must have hurt my Mom, who was just doing her best. 1/2

I just donated $$ to our local food banks in my mom’s honor. People in your town & your neighborhood (Idc if you live in the hood or a Country Club) will go hungry this month thx to people who don’t think it affects them. FYI- Be careful what side you stand on. There’s no Thanksgiving in Hell. 2/2.

Nonpartisan AZ Public Health Assn says a 60 yo couple making $80,000/yr pays about $567/mo today for health insurance. If the subsidies Andy & his cronies are blocking disappear, that cost jumps to $2,026/mo, more than $17,000/yr, just to stay insured. Come on, you’re a better liar than that, Andy.

Andy Biggs, the new Kkkari Lake for AZ, went on a local Phoenix A.M. news show & outright lied about Arizonans receiving healthcare via ACA. He claims families making $600k a year are getting free healthcare. Uh, unless you’re talking about your family, Andy, that bs & you know it. (1/2).

In Oregon alone (by far not one of the most robust food stamp recipient states), appx 737k families count on receiving an avg $300/month in food stamps to feed their families. FWIW, the loss of those funds significantly impacts local grocers, as every $1 of benefit brings $1.80 to Oregon’s economy.
