Paid a Colombian tea grower $1,500 for a shipment. Got billed $150 by the Trump administration at the border. *I* got billed. Not the tea growers. Not the Colombian government. Me. The American business owner. I paid the Trump tax.

SNAP benefits are currently being held hostage by the Trump administration and their fate now lies with the Supreme Court.
Beneath the legal arguments are real people who simply need food—a former federal worker, a single mother of 4, a disabled man. I spoke to them. Here are their stories:

An organizer friend says, repeatedly, that if it weren’t for Black women leaders there’d be no organizing. The church, naacp, D9 teach them how to organize, from the ground up in many cases. That and Heritage about the other massive training infrastructures left.
While this country has been out here slandering us, calling us DEI... I have to chuckle.
The average Black person raised during or before circa 1990-ish has more than likely led or organized *something.*
If we're outspoken, from home to school to church to the 'hood...

Since the Ezra & Ta-Nehisi discussion is still happening: the main point I think most are missing is that Klein is saying the role of the journalist-intellectual is to do strategic politics, whereas Coates says the role of the journalist-intellectual is to tell the truth

Let’s see, Donald Trump launched his crypto business right before taking office. Melania did the day before the inauguration. Junior launched a new one too. Oh, and of course Eric did.
