This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

New, from me: DHS says immigration enforcement employees like ICE are facing unprecedented threats and 1000% increase in assaults. But the data does not add up. Look at the details, and we see state agents using excessive force, and then lying about it. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/whos-threa...

Despite our win in court Friday ordering USDA to fund SNAP benefits, the delay will be felt over the coming weeks. If you are in a position to help, please consider donating your time, resources or non-perishable food to your local food bank. azfoodbanks.org

The Republican Party.

It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members. At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.

Let me be very clear: Donald Trump deliberately chose to stop SNAP benefits from flowing to 42 million hungry Americans. And this is after he and Republicans cut $186 billion from SNAP in their Big Bad Betrayal Bill. They are simply abandoning hungry American families.

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.

I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.

What an odd set of options offered in the CBS News Poll. DEI but nothing about democracy or rule of law.👀

ICE has beaten, detained & arrested 170 citizens, at least 3 of whom were pregnant George Retes is a US veteran who was held in solitary for 3 days Kristi Noem says it’s not happening, but @motherjones.com has done the reporting If they treat citizens this way, imagine what they do to immigrants

The Oregon Department of Justice submitted multiple video exhibits showing federal officers using extreme force against nonviolent protesters outside the U.S. Immigration & Customs Building. This is part of its effort to block the federal deployment of National Guard troops to Portland.

How can this man be a leader of the Democratic Party moving forward? newrepublic.com/post/202554/...

The way he rubs his inhumanity in Americans” face never ceases to stun me. He’s illegally refusing to pay food stamp benefits… …while he throws a ridiculously over the top Gatsby party for his right wing millionaire and corporate friends.

The “Frankenstein force” of the violence we are seeing fed’l agents perpetrating in our streets on human beings, pieces together body parts from different agencies, picking out loyalists and unaccountable to us, the people of this country. A must read. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

This right here.

More than 47 million Americans — including one in five children — don’t have reliable, affordable access to nutritious food. And as the cost of living skyrockets, more families are depending on SNAP benefits, or food stamps, to put food on the table.

FBI: "We didn't zip tie children." REPORTER: "Here's a photo of a zip tied 14 year old." FBI" "OK, we didn't zip tie YOUNG children."

Karoline Leavitt officially announced the "Launch of a large-scale investigation to find the people behind 'No Kings.'" I've saved her some time.

Following three years of significant investments in addiction services, opioid overdoses have declined by 32% in the last year. We’re saving lives and showing what’s possible when we meet this crisis with compassion and action.

Excuse me?

May I present a former clerk to Justice Gorsuch.

Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families? Now you know.

This is a U.S. citizen being brutally abducted by ICE while his mom pleads for them to stop and the videographer cries for help. The Chicago police do nothing to stop it. They will come for everyone, and they’re not even hiding that anymore. If you are not organizing and resisting yet, get started.

The dream of every Muslim is simply to be treated the same as any other New Yorker. And yet, for too long, we have been told to ask for less than that, and endure hatred and bigotry in the shadows. No more.

Governor Gavin Newsom deployed the National Guard to help feed people during the #RepublicanShutdown #MAGAshutdown #TrumpShutdown - not for terrorizing immigrants & citizens in U.S. cities.

Stephen Miller on Fox threatens to arrest JB Pritzker for "seditious conspiracy" and says, "to all ICE officers: you have federal immunity in the conduct of your duties. And anybody who lays a hand on you or tries to stop or obstruct you is committing a felony."

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

Good thing the military isn't woke anymore and is willing to take the fight to our enemies, like Colombian fisherman and Interstate 5.

Probably not the first one to say this, but petition to nominate the Portland frog guy for the Nobel Peace Prize. He has birthed a beautiful, joyful, cheeky inflatable movement. (I'd say a Presidential medal of freedom, but, well, yeah. Hopefully next time.)

No kid should ever have to protest or advocate for their friends’ basic humanity. But they’re standing up at No Kings anyway.

World Central Kitchen’s Relief Team is in Alaska, where Typhoon Halong left a devastating wake of flooding and destruction in remote coastal cities. Our teams will be serving first responders and impacted families. We’ll share more information soon. #ChefsForAlaska 📸 ABC News

Authoritarianism is a cancer. And it's growing, metastasizing. In America. Now. YOU are the cure. Do your part and join us on Saturday. Do it for your country. For the Constitution. For your freedoms. While you still can. @ofthebraveusa.bsky.social

You need to see this: “The show of force is the point. They want these images to be out…The Department of Homeland Security is walking around Chicago with a film crew.” @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social

Imagine that

The shameless GOP lying about the No Kings gatherings scheduled for next Saturday reveals how deeply hostile much of the Republican Party is to “the right of the people peaceably to assemble.” I look forward to our local No Kings event, and urge my fellow Americans to attend in their communities.

Just ordered a frog costume. I don't even live in America

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here. Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race southsideweekly.com/federal-agen...

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.
