Trump’s Spending Bill means fewer people will have food on their table – by design.
He's forcing states like Illinois to create more bureaucracy for families to get the help they need.
All this to support tax breaks for the rich.

A lot of people (not Philip Glass) seem to be going with "I'm going to collaborate with the regime, maybe that will help change things." This rarely works, especially when "collaboration" is not how the regime really thinks about it.

I've been sent video from the end of the ICE raid at the Zipps on 32nd and Shea.
It shows protesters -- on the sidewalk, impeding no one -- getting drive-by maced by an ICE agent from a truck as it rolls away down the road.
Hard to see how such tactics are justifiable.

This drawing was made by one of the 5 year old El Gamal twins. It shows children behind bars with the caption, “I’m 5 years old.”
An immigration judge denied them bond, citing “insufficient assets.” These children could remain in detention for years while their case is appealed.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.
