Social worker and sometime journalist. I poured my last cup of water out on the sands of a distant shore, and now I want it back. Pronouns in bio.

Well, I'll be damned. The War on Christmas is real.

A 2020 study found that Amazon—which shares owner Jeff Bezos with The Washington Post—is one of the largest employers of people on SNAP.
As SNAP funds froze, mayors and governors have pledged to supplement the missing federal assistance, while federal judges ruled Friday that the Trump administration should use contingency funds to keep food aid running despite the government shutdown.

it'd be funny if Trump II gave us the rebirth of the social gospel and a woke Great Awakening

Kind of feels like feds occupying our city for a month, killing one person and shooting another while attacking neighborhoods with chemical weapons and kidnapping hundreds of people already counts as a civil war whether the Guard arrives or not, but what do we know?

This is the biggest attack on free speech since the McCarthy era but it also has significantly less popular consensus behind it than the second Red Scare. It's being done on behalf of a minority faction led by the most unpopular president in modern history. Organizing against this can win.

However you define political violence, the right is responsible for much more of it.

The Anti-Defamation League (hardly a left-wing org!) found that all “domestic extremist-related killings” in 2022 were done by right-wing extremists, the vast majority (84%) white supremacists. trib.al/ycZNDE1
I​t’s Time to Broaden Our Definition of Political Violence
In conversations about Charlie Kirk’s murder, pundits and politicians are using the term ​in troublingly narrow ways.
