Halloween hangover: waking up on Nov 1 to the GOP Congress having canceled SNAP benefits for millions of Americans.
Most SNAP beneficiaries are kids & seniors. Of the rest, most work in crappy private sector jobs that don’t pay enough to feed their families.

They’re doing this because ICE agents are roughly equal parts cowards, incompetent, and lazy.
In government propaganda videos, the Feds boast of going after “the worst of the worst.” In reality, every day, masked agents are fanning out and hitting the easiest targets they can: day laborers, gig workers, tamale ladies. Story @taliasoglin.bsky.social

the maga constitution doesn’t allow any institution, public or private, to explicitly work to ameliorate racial inequality but allows the government to racially profile
BREAKING: By an apparent 6–3 vote, the Supreme Court halts an injunction that had prevented immigration agents from racially profiling Latinos in central California.
Sotomayor, dissenting, says the decision is "unconscionably irreconcilable with our nation's constitutional guarantees."

The mass starvation & killing of Palestinians in Gaza at the hands of the Israeli gov’t is a chillul hashem, a desecration of God.
Jewish leaders who criticized Zohran Mamdani for three words he doesn’t use should raise their voices loudly here as well.

Gaza is starving. Where are the American Jewish leaders?
A fear of being labelled antisemitic still deters American Jews and Jewish institutions from taking a position that is morally correct.

“He never once brought up the National Guard. He’s a stone cold liar.”
Newsom: We talked for 20 minutes, this issue never came up. I kept trying to talk about LA, he wanted to talk about all these other issues. He never once brought up the national guard.

The Trump Admin is trying to disappear almost 200 more people to El Salvador.
This is a violation of due process.
If we let Trump get away with disappearing immigrants under the Alien Enemies Act, there is nothing stopping him from disappearing U.S. citizens next. (1/2)

Mr. Abrego Garcia was illegally abducted by the Trump Admin and, by their own admission, wrongly deported to El Salvador. He shouldn’t have to spend another second away from his family.
I'm flying to El Salvador tomorrow morning to check on his condition and discuss his return.
