With SNAP expiring, at least one Calif community is responding not by helping people get food, but by threatening hungry people with arrest

This is what we mean when we say policing is a policy choice that creates crime

Here’s the math that proves it 🧵
California police boost patrols at grocery stores as millions set to lose SNAP benefits
Over 5.5 million Californians, including 2 million children, are set to lose their SNAP benefits this Saturday.

Val and I checked repeatedly because we simply couldn't believe no national or local news organizations covered this letter from 18 AGs in support of trans youth care and against FTC overreach.

If you find any stories, let us know, but it seems to be our exclusive.
On Friday 18 blue state attorneys general BLASTED the Federal Trade Commission, telling it to back off trans youth healthcare and warning of an insidious attempt to reshape the regulation of medicine in the US.

And nobody covered it.

BREAKING: Reverend Sue Parfitt, 83, was just arrested under the Terrorism Act again, for a sign which said "I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action"

Early this week she said: "Palestine Action are not a terrorist organisation. They damaged weapons used on Palestinians."

There is a water main break on West 7th in St. Paul, so I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you see emergency vehicles outside the Children's Museum, everything is okay.

These signs are related to each other it would seem, bye Jacob! Clearly we don’t want you, but you refuse to bow out graciously and accept that you don’t need to keep bothering the good people of Minneapolis with your shit

the intensity of my anger at those who would criminalize the homeless — a population literally created by the greed and callousness of the ruling class — is very hard to contain. it was you who dismantled the safety net. if you don’t like the results, put it back

"Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic, because that means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice, and a third, a fourth, and then what happens?’ - Judith Butler
Democrats have convinced themselves that they've mastered this 5-D electoral chess strategy where they sacrifice small out-groups in the hopes of appealing to centrist voters.

Giving the government the authority to un-person any group of people always turns into a fascist nightmare for everyone.

the destruction of chattel slavery is one of the great accomplishments in our nation's history and the reason conservatives hate celebrating it is because doing so legitimizes the black counter-narrative of the united states

Yes. I am right. I am seeing how Chat GPT is ruining students critical thinking and writing skills in real time. It is not the future. It is a tool designed to render the populace helpless, to make people doubt their innate intelligence, and to foster overreliance on technology.

Hey @cnn.com, ‘we will kill you’ is not a “stern warning”. It’s a death threat.

A sheriff is threatening the lives of the community he swore an oath to protect. For exercising their rights to peacefully assemble.

Stop being stenographers for fascists.

Remarkable.

Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd.

Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.
