The policy being weaponized to inflict pain on the marginalized is intended to keep retailers from charging SNAP customers more than they charge non-SNAP customers.
The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

One day after the Supreme Court lifted the ban on racial profiling, federal agents swarmed a car in Van Nuys.
Four masked agents with guns drawn yanked people out, slammed them to the ground, and pointed a weapon at a pregnant woman.
There is no justification for this. None.

The narrative is that shooting at Trump and Kirk is political violence while January 6 and Gaza don't exist and ICE abuses are the normal course of business
