Not enough people are talking about this: Even before Trump cut off SNAP funding, he and Republicans in Congress made the biggest cuts to food assistance in U.S. history.

This Republican shutdown isn’t about responsible governance. It’s about cruelty and control — and a president who treats hunger as a weapon against his own people.

"But mostly I want New Yorkers to get what’s theirs: affordable housing, accessible food, free transportation, and respect."

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable. But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless. Remember this.

To people comparing Mamdani to Obama, because young, charismatic: Back then, Obama was ready to sell out, backed by the Chicago political machine. Today's generation, especially in NYC, progressives are militant. Mamdani is beholden to grassroots power. Selling out is self-destruction.

We won!!! ❤️❤️❤️ Congratulations to Mayor Mamdani. We can't wait to have you in office.

Don't forget to vote.

Dick Cheney was a cruel bureaucrat who made corrupt institutions more abusive. Officials in those institutions then surrendered what was left of their morals to accommodate his evil vision. In time, those institutions became even more corrupt. What politicians say today will be revealing of the rot.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 5: Vito Marcantonio There are many who dismiss our vision for New York as impossible. To them, I say we need look only to our past for proof of how we can shape the future. Tomorrow is Election Day. And this is the final Until It's Done of our campaign.

Trump's USDA is ordering grocery stores to follow a federal rule outlawing them from giving discounts to SNAP recipients whose benefits are currently frozen illegally. So Trump's happy to finally follow the law as long as long as he can inflict pain and cruelty? Got it.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Trump and Republicans went to court to try to steal food assistance form 42 million people ahead of the holidays. Do not forget this.

It's scary how cute Park Slope was tonight. Happy Halloween, NYC.

AOC is right. As usual.

If you see someone stealing at a grocery store… No the fuck you didn’t.

Pritzker: "Imagine it. Children who woke up that morning, expectant with joy & excitement to put on their costumes & celebrate with their neighbors in what they thought was a safe place at their homes. Armed, masked agents, terrorizing innocent people, especially children, is unconscionable."

Let's be clear: Trump has the funding to keep SNAP running. He's choosing not to. There's even a Republican-led bill to fund SNAP with broad Democratic support. Republican leaders won't let us vote on it. Deliberately choosing to let families starve is as vindictive as it gets.

An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs. Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker. Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps. Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

Authoritarianism comes fast, Governor J. B. Pritzker told @markleibovich.bsky.social. “And if you’re not willing to stand up and push back while it’s happening in the early days,” Pritzker added, “it gets a lot harder later.” https://theatln.tc/DR3tXJ6E

Authenticity is his political currency.

The refusal to fund SNAP will drive millions into hunger. But when the Trump administration chooses cruelty, @newyorkstateag.bsky.social chooses courage. Grateful for her joining this suit to keep people fed.

Obvious to say this, but the actual function of the smear job isn't to make us ask about his aunt, it's to show us the words "hijab" and "9/11" in a headline with his photo.

Rep. Rosa DeLauro: "On the food stamp issue, the money is there! Let them not get away with saying they can't do it. Their political will isn't there to feed the people who rely on the SNAP program which is the most effective anti-hunger program in the USA."

The president had a MRI but won't say why. He had bruises on his hands but wouldn't say why. He just had an 'annual medical' even though he already had his annual medical. He got shot in the ear but has never released the medical records relating to it. How is any of this ok?

The decline isn’t subtle anymore.

New article! On the shutdown, a nation treated as prey, and the meaning of leverage: sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/the-shutdown

MeidasTouch ad censored by Fox News! #cdnpoli It would be a shame if people kept reposting it over and over.

On Saturday, millions of Americans, including children, could go hungry because the federal government wants to illegally suspend SNAP benefits during the shutdown. We're suing. The USDA has funds to stop people from starving, but instead it's playing politics. It's wrong.

"Mamdani's proposals, such as freezing the rent for some New York tenants, free buses and free child care, are not only feasible but also build off the foundations of previous New York City laws, political analysts told ABC News."

Amazon's plan to replace 600,000 workers with AI and robots could save it $10 billion on top of billions more in tax breaks. Today, I demanded answers from Jeff Bezos: Will you simply dump these workers out on the street, or will you treat them with the dignity they deserve?

The USDA has funding set aside to keep food assistance programs running during emergencies. Trump just won’t release it. 440,000 Minnesotans - and millions more Americans - will pay the price.

Food bank director: “for every meal that a food bank provides, the SNAP program provides nine. There’s no way we can meet that gap.”

Walz: "They are paying contractors to pay down the East Wing but they're not putting money into the food bank. So if there's a sense of frustration in America, it's very real ... when the White House press secretary said their top priority is the ballroom, we could not disagree more."

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Thank you, New York City. Now let’s win.
