They have emergency funds for SNAP. The GOP is letting it expire.
So Netanyahu-like: to hold hostage food funds & use starvation as a political tool to blackmail enemies.
“At least one expert now predicting this could trigger the greatest hunger catastrophe in the U.S. since the Great Depression.”

There’s a GoFundMe link in here, but that’s not why I’m reposting. The Wagoneer that the ICE agents are in looks like a rental car. Out-of-state plate with no ring & a white rectangular sticker in the windshield. It’s quite common for the gov’t to rent cars, but in this context, it raises red flags.
Here's a disturbing video of ICE agents crashing an SUV into a car, starting to drive away, then coming back and violently arresting the female driver. We haven't seen any news coverage of this case, but @gofundme.com told us, "This fundraiser is verified."

BREAKING: Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority, are REFUSING to play Kristi Noem's "Blame Democrats for Flight Delays" video at their airports, because it is "politically partisan". 👏 EVERY airport should follow their lead.

Disney paid $16 million to Trump to settle a bogus lawsuit involving George Stephanopoulos.
Disney fired Terry Moran for calling Stephen Miller a “world-class hater.”
Disney suspended Jimmy Kimmel.
That Disney has walked back one of those after immense public pressure doesn't change who they are.

I have also wondered what it's like to be so hateful to anything and everything around you. What a miserable existence it must be.
“Superman is woke! Museums are woke! Cracker Barrel is woke! Lego is woke!”
It has got to be exhausting just hating everyone and everything all the time. What a sad way to live your life.

if you can't sell the american public on the idea that federal troops in the streets is fundamentally unacceptable then you have no business being in politics. and if you do not forcibly believe this at your core such that you can't shut up about it, that goes double for you
Toxic feedback loop has kicked in: Trump's propagandists tell credulous reporters that occupying cities is good politics for him. Media echoes this as self-evidently true. That reinforces Dem instincts not to engage.

So it's little wonder that Trump's politicized DOJ is now coming after her.
