According to my local food bank, $1 = 2 meals.
So a donation of $25 is 50 meals.
A little can go a long way and you *can* make a difference.

As a leukemia nurse navigator, this will be so exciting if animal studies translate to human trials in the future with similar results!

Los Angeles County voted to declare a state of emergency in response to federal ICE raids. Normally reserved for natural disasters, the declaration allows the county to mobilize resources and offer assistance to residents impacted by the raids.

BREAKING: A federal judge has temporarily blocked President Trump from deploying federalized National Guard troops into Chicago.
This ruling reinforces what we already knew: It is illegal for the president to use manufactured emergencies to send soldiers into our cities.

In my entire career as an EMT, paramedic, and firefighter, I have asked patients many questions. Not one time have I asked “are you here legally or illegally.” When I’m responding to an emergency the only thing I’m concerned with is how can I help this person.
REPORTER: Should ERs check immigration status before treating a dying patient?
LEAVITT: That's probably not a question for me to answer. That's a question for healthcare professionals and legal experts to answer.
(That's not a no!)

The Pentagon will place 600 military lawyers as immigration judges. Immigration courts already lack independence. Handing them to active-duty officers erases neutrality, dissolves the separation of powers, & forces military rule in civilian law- it collapses rule of law into authoritarian command.
Pentagon plans for 600 military lawyers to backfill immigration judges
The Trump administration plans for 600 military lawyers to temporarily ease the overwhelming immigration case load as law enforcement raids fill court dockets.

The original post talks about the ‘massive backlog’- where is this energy when it comes to all the untested rape kits in this country? If this regime actually cared about crime, they would be putting this energy elsewhere but they don’t- it’s all about fear, divisiveness and racism.
Militarizing immigration courts would shred due process. Military lawyers aren’t trained in asylum law, aren’t independent of the Pentagon, and would blur civilian–military lines. It risks unfair deportations, constitutional violations, and international backlash.
