New York AG James said she's received complaints of stores in her state refusing EBT cards and has already sent out several cease and desist letters. Stores are not allowed to refuse SNAP benefits. If this happens to you, call the AG's hotline to report at 1-800-771-7755.

They’re going to mass arrest them and put the homeless into camps to work for free labor

Capitalism requires a permanent underclass. There arent enough prisons to supplement the cheap labor we are losing by isolating our allies & deporting immigrants

This exploitation & violence will be homegrown
Under Trump, the draconian future of homelessness policy is coming into focus: mass internment. Utah is building a 16-acre site to detain up to 1,300 homeless people inside locked "accountability centers." This is profoundly alarming.

The clips and conversations I’m hearing about the SNAP (food stamp) cuts should be above the fold everywhere. It’s a scary time for a lot of people.
Families are already hanging by a thread, but the sad truth is it’s about to get a lot worse when SNAP benefits don’t go out in November.

It’s time to find our local food banks and help out with donations and volunteer hours if you are able.

A Mainer received an Amazon order containing 250 missing ballots for an upcoming referendum that could tighten ballot access in the state. The stunt left some questioning whether it was organized by the referendum’s backers to elicit election fear.

Council Member Nantasha Williams is right: we need to address housing delays, but these ballot proposals won’t make new housing move faster—they’re about moving power further away from the people.
On @spectrumnewsny1.bsky.social’s Inside City Hall, Council Member Nantasha Williams spoke about the Jamaica Neighborhood Plan and why Mayor Adams’ Ballot Proposals 2, 3, and 4, which take community voices out of land use decisions, wouldn't speed up housing production.

Q: What's your message to the 170 US citizens who have been detained by ICE? About 20 of them are children

MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know what you're talking about with the children. I haven't seen that so I'm not going to comment on it.

Still no fact checking from Politico on repeat Cuomo lies about his pervasive sexual harassment. Every person monitoring this debate is guilty of not doing their job on that front.

Federal agents are overtly abusing their power to try to intimidate advocates and elected officials. We need ICE out of Illinois immediately and justice for people like Ald. Jessie Fuentes who are defending their communities.

RIP CALLTIME, THE AGE OF STREAMING IS NOW
I was in charge of fundraising for a city council campaign in KC during the last election in 2023. Seeing that @katmabu.bsky.social raised over $8k in a two hour stream as an alternative to “call time” is a type of jealousy I can’t even explain. Very cool

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.
moments ago, ice agents again came out of the broadview detention/“professing” facility to escort a silver suv out of the lot.

one of the agents picked up and threw congressional candidate kat abughazaleh to the ground.

On June 24, I began my Election Night speech by quoting Mandela: “It always seems impossible until it’s done.” That's the spirit of this campaign, and our city.

This is "Until It’s Done,” a new series about New Yorkers who refused to accept that a worthy goal was impossible.
