"... It isn't ICE. It isn't CBP. It's a Frankenstein force, stitched together from multiple agencies but loyal to none. Its purpose is to create a community response designed for social media clicks, rather than to keep communities safe..."
This is fascism

Opinion | The White House's sweeping overhaul of ICE is creating a Frankenstein force

The recent wave of ICE senior official reassignments has a clear motive.

Obama: "It's like every day is Halloween, except it's all tricks and no treats. And here's the thing -- it's not as if we did not see some of this coming. I mean, I'll admit it's worse than even I expected, but I did warn y'all. And you know what? Donald Trump warned you too."

I hope this is the start of something big for Democrats‼️

NEW: Barack Obama personally called Zohran Mamdani, the front-runner for NYC mayor, to praise his campaign and offer to be a “sounding board.”

Democrats, take notes…

We should be able to agree that there’s nothing wrong with someone on SNAP treating themselves or their kids once in awhile

The idea that if you’re poor you must never have a “treat” reinforces the notion that poverty is a choice and a failing

It’s neither, and we shouldn’t police anyone’s food

Why did American policing get so big, so fast? The answer, mainly, is slavery.

Obama: I believe in an America where we don't fear each other. But look out for each other. And if we want that story to continue. If we believe in that better story. We need leaders who believe in it too.

If the GOP doesn’t want tax dollars going to food, healthcare, housing, ed, SS, veterans’ care, housing, research, science, art, infrastructure, transit, childcare, the environment, public broadcasting, diplomacy, regulatory agencies, or job training… WTF are we paying them for?

Why do people buy pizza with EBT?

Because cauliflower is five dollars a head and you can buy five pizzas with the same money.

It’s not that folks don’t want to be healthy. They can’t afford to be healthy.

For 20 years I processed food assistance for eligible applicants in Michigan. They must meet income and asset limits and have a Social Security number. Able-bodied adults (18-49) may also need to meet work requirements to receive benefits beyond three months. Non-citizen are not eligible.

Sooner or later, someone is going to respond to one of these ICE goons by returning the violence and it's not going to end well -- not for the goon, not for the victim, not for any of us.

A reminder that if you didn't complain when the GOP added $4 trillion (TRILLION!) to the debt to give billionaires a tax cut, you don't get to rediscover your fiscal conservatism only when the hungry need food or the sick need healthcare.

Obama: "The weird videos of a US president with a crown on his head flying a fighter jet & dumping poop on American citizens - that's not even worth booing about. Because all of that is a distraction from the fact that your situation, your life has not gotten better. They do it so you won't notice"

Black folks, pay attention.
You’re about to see the media attempting to isolate and spotlight us when talking about SNAP strategically. They will try to create the narrative that “only Black people are on government assistance.” Even though the data says otherwise. 👇🏾
