Watch this.

Open your eyes to this brutality.

ICE beats up, drags & abducts this disabled visually impaired man.

Now share this.

Everyone must see the brutality of this administration & ask themselves what they are doing to push back.

You have power.

Even sharing this video exerts that power.

USDAโ€™s refusal to use its contingency fund means SNAP will run out on Nov. 1 and leave 42 million Americans at risk of going hungry.

Food pantries have already seen 12x more traffic than normal. Itโ€™s time for the House to return to session, vote to ensure SNAP funding, and ensure our kids are fed.

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) declaring he won't call the House of Representatives into session until JANUARY at the earliest, means this isn't a shut-down.
This is a #RepublicanCOUP.

Your daily reminder that Trump absolutely can fund SNAP through contingency funds.

He absolutely can prevent 42 million Americans โ€” including 20 million children โ€” from going hungry next month.

He is choosing not to. Donโ€™t let him lie his way out of this.

Pritzker: "I sent a letter to Kristi Noem and to DHS leadership asking them to pause all of their federal agent operations for the entirety of the Halloween weekend. I'm asking for basic human decency. I think their response will be revealing. Give the children and families of Illinois a break."

Utah is now building what many human rights activists are concerned will be a forced labor camp for homeless people.

Rather than address a broken system that is harming countless Americans, the gop want to punish those victimized by this broken system.
