My latest on the Administration's wildly unlawful shutdown of SNAP. To buy their argument, you must ignore the interpretation they took Sept. 30 and repeatedly in the first Trump Administration. Shamelesly and gratuitously cruel.

To the 9News anchor who just said today's shooting at my kid's is "something we have to accept in our world" — it is not.
I do not accept that my children have to live in fear. I do not accept that any child should ever be shot, at school or anywhere else.

The only thing we can ‘do’ to stop this is mass, sustained protests. I’m talking protests that are big enough to impact the economy.
Folks who aren’t on political social media don’t think it’s bad enough for that yet, though, and I honestly question whether we have the attention span for it at all.
