About half of what it was going to cost to fully fund SNAP in November during the shutdown.

I think I’m gonna be sick. Every day we sink lower and lower into the darkest depths of depravity. No one with even the slightest bit of a conscience can watch this and not be horrified. If you support this you are a psychopath. There’s no debate. This is psychopathic behavior plain and simple.

Cutting flights because of the govt shutdown is a stunt, plain and simple

Let this sink in. The President of the United States is now appealing a court order forcing him to feed starving children.

BREAKING: Plaintiffs must now be referred to by their biological descriptor, "asshole," because to call them otherwise would convey a falsehood.

Greetings from beautiful New Mexico, where 21% of our population--mostly children, seniors, and disabled folks--rely on SNAP for basic food needs. Unless you would look a 5 year-old or an 85 year-old in the face and say they should starve, lean on your Members of Congress to fund SNAP.

So we're just disappearing folks who protest.

something something religious liberty, amirite?

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it. The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait. At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Public Statement from the Chief of PR for Antifa™️: We at ANTIFA have reviewed all evidence, eye-witness accounts and legal documents pertaining to the United States' Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency. It is our determination that we must designate "ICE" as an illegal terrorist operation.

Happy Indigenous Peoples' Day from beautiful New Mexico, where 11% of our population are members of 19 Pueblos, 3 Apache tribes, and the Navajo Nation.

Y'all, Columbus was such a shit explorer that he wrecked one of his ships, and only then found out he was two whole continents away from his intended destination. SAD!

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

This GOP move does several things: + No votes in the House until at least October 14 + No swearing-in for Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva D-AZ + No 218th signature from Grijalva on the Epstein Files discharge petition + Continues the House 'jam' of the Senate on the CR

Among all of the terrifying examples of our emerging authoritarian state, this one is particularly terrifying. A journalist was legally authorized to remain in the US and work. BIA reopened his case and allowed him to be deported--all because he reported on ICE detention practices.

Today in life under competitive authoritarianism

Serious question: has the Fed govt ever arrested so many elected officials in such a short period of time, across multiple cities, and not for legit corruption reasons? This seems like a distinct degree of anti-democratic escalation.

I think he knows the depth of resistance he will encounter in Chicago, and is counting on that as justification for a brutal crackdown. Chicagoans will not go quietly into this good night

“Hamas” seems to just mean “the people who live in Gaza” at this point.

Before this administration, presidents had deployed the military to quell civil unrest or enforce the law only 30 times in the nation’s entire history. As of yesterday, President Trump has done so three times (with a fourth in the works) in just over eight months. 1/5

There's going to be national grief and outrage, televised speeches from the decedents' families, lowered flags, and prayers on the House floor for these people, right? RIGHT?

Tillis is one of just a few Republicans speaking out against the divisive, often violent, rhetoric in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination. trib.al/MRbqqPP

It'd be nice if there was a moment of reflection from the many cis people who just witnessed the WSJ attempt to initiate a pogrom against trans Americans at the behest of a fascist influencer. But I won't hold my breath.

/4 The other thing is this: I don't particularly buy the notion that being willing to go anywhere and say shitty things to anyone makes you a hero. Does it make you better than someone willing to go anywhere to beat anyone up? Yeah I guess.

Today, we mourn the memory of those we lost on September 11, 2001. We also come together to honor the brave heroes, like our first responders, who risked their lives that tragic day to save countless others. Their sacrifice can never be repaid. We will never forget.

They are not reporting the words or symbols. We have no idea what constitutes “trans and antifascist ideology” because they haven’t revealed pics of the bullets or even what the symbols/words are. This story is going viral nonetheless and will no doubt become common knowledge.

Stop calling Charlie Kirk and other conservative influencers "activists." There is no such thing as a conservative activist. The definition of activist is "a person who campaigns for political change." Conservatives support the status quo. They don't want change. They want more of the same.

This shouldn't happen to children in schools and it shouldn't happen to hateful gundamentalist fanatics. It shouldn't happen.

I disagree.

Three students were critically shot at Evergreen High School, Colorado; suspect neutralized. Meanwhile, Trump focuses on Charlie Kirk—does anyone actually care about the kids, or is it just another tragic footnote in endless school shootings? abcnews.go.com/US/shooting-...

Charlie Kirk was a horrible bigot who spewed dangerous conspiracy theories and misled many young people. He marched for Trump’s authoritarian agenda. None of this justifies violence or murder. Political violence only escalates and makes us less safe. Sadly, we dont have a leader but an arsonist.

Hannah Arendt said 'The death of human empathy is one of the earliest & most telling signs of a culture about to fall into barbarism' We saw the recent cruelty of MAGA denying empathy to Melissa Hortman Empathy for Kirk—not because he ever acted like a decent human—but because we are decent humans

My friend Saúl has returned to Venezuela. And he may be killed because of it. 🧵

Well, the unthinkable has happened. My Venezuelan friend decided it was too dangerous to stay here and returned to Venezuela. He had temporary protected status, and was starting to build a life here. But that got canceled and his wife is pregnant. He can’t risk being rounded up unexpectedly.

When someone is forging a signature, they often hesitate at the start and finish of certain letters (however briefly), in ways the real signer does not--trying to remember what's next. It shows up in stroke width and placement. None of these signatures have those distinctions.

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!

Apropos of nothing, here's a photo of Mar-a-lago.

I am planning to ask my criminal law class next semester why RFK's restriction of access to vaccines is not a depraved heart murder.

I have fainted in two banks (one of which was in Costa Rica), a law school class I was teaching, a blood bank, and I can't even remember where else because it has happened too many times. Two concussions. Thanks, hypoglycemia!

As health care becomes more expensive and harder to access, this is an incredible move by New Mexico

I cannot for the life of me understand how the Republicans think this is some sort of existential crisis. Yield, man! Let the immigrants come into your city and show how food can taste better.
