I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

No Kings protesters in NJ & VA get to take all that energy to the polls now in very important elections in their states 2 weeks from now. Make your voices heard in the streets & at the ballot box. Vote against all Trump allies/enablers & send a message to the rest of them for us.

ANY ARRESTS? Among the millions upon millions of "violent leftist radicals" that took to the streets today I cannot find word of a single arrest. Even when everything is peaceful there is usually an overzealous cop or something. This is unheard of. We need to beat the media over the head with it.

Seriously, Judges *do no do things like this*
They don't give their opinion to the media
They don't criticize how SCOTUS works
This is them breaking the emergency glass, folks

🚨 ICE disappeared a woman on Wednesday night. She was grabbed by men in plainclothes and taken to an unidentified location.
ICE is refusing to say where she is being held. It’s 72 hours later and not even a dedicated team of lawyers can find her.
This is WRONG. We can’t let this be the new norm.
