JD Vance grew up on nutrition assistance provided by the federal government.
Now, he’s ripping SNAP away from millions of hungry kids growing up in poverty.
Pulling the ladder up when you reach the top is not the American way. He should be ashamed.

Ya know who grew up receiving nutritional assistance provided by the federal government – JD Vance. Now, he’s ripping SNAP away from tens of millions of hungry kids. Growing up in poverty isn't a crime, JD – just ask your Jesus.

Trump is withholding funding that’s *already there* for SNAP. They’re using hunger as a political weapon by choice.
While federal Republicans willingly let kids go hungry, we passed $70M in the State Senate to do what we can.

Good night, friends.
Tonight was deeply painful.
We at CDC do this work because we care.
It’s long hours, often feeling overworked and not enough pay, but we do it because we want to make the world a better place.

Someone said ethics is required CE for attorneys. But I should have been clear about which ethics. Because I am curious about race & ethics and gender identity & ethics. Because I don’t understand how we keep successfully leveraging these laws vindictively against the people they’re meant to protect

This morning, ICE rolled into a Home Depot parking lot using a moving truck loaded w/agents, like a Trojan horse, to snatch up Latino workers. Whoever they could find. No idea if they were undocumented or not.
That’s not enforcement. That’s racial profiling, and violates a standing court order.

Please watch. Aguilar knows this is more than an interview. He is quite deliberately offering *testimony.*
One of the most incontrovertible statements I've seen–an American professional soldier, West Point-trained, bluntly stating he witnessed war crimes committed by the IDF and U.S. mercenaries.
