Initiating total rebellion mode
Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week
Either they go into total rebellion mode, which they won't, or the people will

Trump is defying the law and every moral code, using food as a weapon to harm vulnerable families, including children and seniors, across the country who count on SNAP.
No other President would hurt American families in this way. Unbelievably wrong on every level.

Things to consider:
Document the violence & violations--on camera, w/photos, saving images--any way you can. Speaking as a historian- it will matter
Point out violations--w/images & text--even if you think it won't matter. It will. It needs to be called out & exposed
You are a witness.

Since every Republican in Congress is repeating their false talking point over & over that “Democrats want to shut down the govt to give free healthcare to illegal aliens,” it would be helpful if some Democrats in Congress could address that argument with facts at some point.

This is an absolutely extraordinary, revelatory quote. Why is the NBC affiliate in Portland the only place reporting it? www.kgw.com/article/news...
Trump seems to back off Portland military plan: 'Am I watching things on television that are different from what's happening?'
President Trump had said he will send troops to Portland to protect U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities, which he said were "under attack."
