Ah, yes. Because paying out benefits is the emergency, not oppression and state violence toward those living in poverty in the "greatest country." 🤡🍊
The Trump administration has asked a federal appeals court for an emergency block on a judge’s order that it fully pay 42 million Americans' SNAP benefits for November.

Wow...those Epstein files must be HORRIBLY damning. Don't get distracted by some sham political theatre and keep pressing. The House has the votes and I guarantee Trump would grind the government to a halt and blame Democrats for it before he'd let them be released.

The murder of Charlie Kirk was criminal, wrong, and should be condemned.
And Charlie Kirk was a horrible, hateful man who spent his life radicalizing young people to embrace their worst demons by targeting women, people of color, immigrants, and the marginalized.
I refuse to sanitize him.

It’s fine to say that violence is never the answer, but I can’t help but observe that for Charlie Kirk violence was always the answer, and it was the only answer he offered, and, because of the privilege that he refused to admit he had, he could enact it from a comfortable and respectable place.
