Rep. Rosa DeLauro: "On the food stamp issue, the money is there! Let them not get away with saying they can't do it. Their political will isn't there to feed the people who rely on the SNAP program which is the most effective anti-hunger program in the USA."

However bad you think the police surveillance state has become, it’s worse. Here a tiny police force has blanketed a tiny town in a network of cameras to track every person and vehicle that goes through. Which leads a cop to this woman’s house to lie to her to coax a false confession.

The sergeant later revealed that Bow Mar's cameras showed she was in town from "11:52
until 12:09 exactly," which is apparently when the package - total value $25 - was stolen.
Bow Mar has positioned cameras at the town's entrances for more than five years, and also has provided discounted Ring cameras for homes, CBS Colorado reported earlier.
"Like I said, nothing gets in or out of the town without us knowing," the sergeant told Elser.
Besides the data from the surveillance cameras, the sergeant also said he had footage from the theft victim's own security camera, which he claimed showed Elser in the act. She staunchly denied it.

But Milliman refused to show the evidence to Elser as they stood on her doorstep — since, according to him, she wouldn't admit her own guilt.
"If you're going to deny it, I'm not going to give you any courtesy. If you're going to lie to me, I'm not going to give you any courtesy," he said in the video.
The sergeant left her with a summons for petty theft, a December court date and a gnawing feeling in her gut.

Guys don't dick around, give money to Feeding America to help support people getting to eat.

They have a great track record of donations going TOWARD FOOD. They can stretch your dollar further. They are everywhere in the US. I've been donating there about 15 years.

Several of the women I interviewed belong to religious communities that strongly oppose gender-affirming care, and yet were taking testosterone in amounts comparable to those taken by some trans men.
