The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

79-year-old Paul Bojerski was born to Polish parents in a WWII German refugee camp. His family legally emigrated to the U.S. when he was 5.

He’s been taken by ICE in Florida.

New — While some states have received SNAP benefits for November and USDA is supposedly pushing through all federal payments soon, that doesn’t erase the psychological terror of the last few weeks.

I spoke with 20+ SNAP recipients in 16 states about preparing for a possible future with no food:
The voices of SNAP
Recipients have become political pawns. They explained, in their own words, what Trump withholding funds has been like.

The President wants to use the military to crack down on Americans who are exercising their 1st Amendment rights to oppose him. I can’t think of a better reason to insist on exercising those rights.

The academic pages of Reddit are full of stories of PhD students whose offers have been rescinded due to pulled NIH funding.

Western is stepping up and offering expedited admissions and excellent funding to these deserving students:

A+ meme-ing here
Responses to the NYC result along the lines of "oh in country x, a establishment mutant would win," are entirely missing the point: the establishment mutant was unexpectedly defeated here. They can be everywhere if your game is good enough, and the game here was very good. It's time.
Fight. Win.
