In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

Thank you @vanhollen.senate.gov for working everyday to protect healthcare and for calling it for what it is a Republican Shutdown.

The whole point of a national government is to scale up the stuff we cannot do locally or through private institutions. Religious orgs, neighborhoods, & food banks aren't enough. This is why we pay taxes, to redistribute resources to meet basic needs that keep society viable.
"For every meal that a food bank provides, the SNAP program provides nine. There's no way we can meet that gap. There's no way we can replace every single one of those meals. It is not sustainable for food banks to fill this gap. We were not built to do this."

SNAP benefits aren't only for those who need them. When a person or family uses them, they help grocery markets, supply chain, and the economy.
Monthly is averages $8.3 billion and yearly $99.8 billion in revenue lost.

I know these “interviews” with Justice Barrett are carefully scripted. But if she’s going to keeping urging Americans to “read the opinions,” and not just commentary, it sure would be nice if someone would ask her what we should do when—as is so often the case these days—there’s no opinion to read…

When President Clinton banned assault rifles in 1994, mass shootings dropped by 43%. After Republicans let the ban expire in 2004, they increased by 243% — please don’t tell me bans don’t work, because I don’t want to hear it.

Pritzker on Trump sending troops into cities: "He has other aims other than fighting crime... he would like to stop the elections in 2026 or frankly take control of those elections. He'll just claim there's some problem with an election and then he's got troops on the ground that can take control."
