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.

Eyes on Jamaica, Cuba, Haiti and the Caribbean as Hurricane Melissa is forecast to arrive with high winds and drop massive amounts of rain. Terms being used by forecasters are ... Unprecedented Historic Never Before ... most media still avoiding .. CLIMATE CHANGE RELATED

Cannot express enough appreciation for the teams *flying through a hurricane* while not being paid.

Frame: food stamps are used by undeserving / Black people Negation: actually many people on food stamps are deserving / white Kirby: THEY ARE STARVING PEOPLE ON PURPOSE. They are using racist tropes to justify it bc many people will find that persuasive. Everyone deserves to eat

This man is utterly disgusting. This is who shepherded Trump’s judicial nominees through confirmation. That should tell you A LOT.

Israel never ceases fire. And even if it did, it would still be carrying out military occupation, apartheid, mass arrests, land theft & more. Boycott Israel. Divest from Israel. Sanction Israel. Genocide is an active project & we are complicit. Action is the only way forward

Nevermind DC... this is as much rainfall as *Kingston, Jamaica* receives in a normal year. That's right -- some parts of Jamaica will receive a year's worth of rainfall this week, and then get hit with 120mph+ sustained winds for hours on end as Hurricane Melissa makes landfall.

Hurricane Melissa is forecast to strengthen into a rare Category 5 hurricane, threatening Jamaica with potentially catastrophic flash floods and landslides: https://cnn.it/47sseLE

Jamaica is responsible for less than 0.03% of global CO₂ emissions but faces almost unimaginable loss and damage in coming days at the hands of wealthy nations. It's heartbreaking and utterly damning.

A mom in Houston reported her 15-year-old son with autism missing. She spent 6 days terrified, searching for him. The whole time, Houston police knew exactly where he was since they helped ICE place him in a refugee facility. This is beyond cruel. www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston...

Pet peeve: People who comment “it’s not going to make any difference” Even if the odds are against you, does the mean you should give up? Should our people have not fought back? People shouldn’t have fought apartheid? Rosa Parks shouldn’t have given up her seat? Like what are you saying?

My first thought was “wow I hope this guy didn’t give out his name because he could absolutely be charged” and yup, he is correct to stay anonymous. This man’s account is shocking. His neighbors’ situation is shocking. The entire Chicago raid is shocking.

The Trump admin’s offer to give preferential treatment to institutions that toe the party line reeks of bribery in exchange for allegiance to a partisan ideological agenda. This is corruption. Adherence to ‘loyalty oaths’ would usher in a new era of thought policing in American higher education.

Shelters that house unaccompanied minors are bracing for "Freaky Friday," the start of an ICE operation that will first issue letters to children, seeking to pressure them to return to the countries they've fled in exchange for a cash payment. If they decline, their parents will be targeted by ICE.

NEW: 30+ human rights experts & ex-UN officials sent a letter to the UEFA President demanding Israel be banned from Euro soccer. UEFA paused a vote to ban Israel amid Trump's Gaza "peace plan." The experts say Trump's plan does nothing about Israel's apartheid state—and thus they should be banned.

It was only two weeks ago when we first saw an ICE agent unholster his sidearm at Broadview. Since then, there have been many reports of agents directly pointing their guns at protesters. The escalation is escalating.
