UPDATE: Justice Jackson temporarily blocks SNAP benefits order to allow appeals court to rule.
DOJ asked SCOTUS for a stay as USDA was in the middle of completing its process for making full payments. Jackson's order came a little past 9 p.m.

Every local government should be arresting ICE agents acting without a judicial warrant, especially those in masks. Stand up! Make your region not worth it, and hold those accountable who decide to f*ck around.

There’s a special place in hell for anyone who can watch this and feel joy.
And for the ones just standing there doing nothing, you’re not much better…

ICE’s undercover officers in plainclothes abducted Sindi Moreno while she was leaving to drop her daughter off at elementary school in Houston. The agent in civilian clothing assaulted and attempted to kidnap Sindi as she and her child desperately fought him off.

I’ve declared a State of Emergency because the federal government is — illegally and cruelly — withholding funding for food assistance.
We are providing $10 million in emergency aid so Maryland families don’t go hungry.

An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs.
Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.
Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.
Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

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.

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.
The President is building an army to attack his own country.

This morning, I was hit in the face by a baton.
I’m going to have a pretty gnarly bruise but we need to remember why this is happening: Trump and ICE are rounding up our neighbors, treating them as subhuman, and shipping them off to labor camps in foreign countries. It has to end.

Fun fact! I take Tylenol and get all the vaccinations I require!
Gotta keep my ‘Tism subscription active, ya know. It’s not like I do this for other health reasons.
(See? This autistic human can be sarcastic and snarky! But for real, listen to actual doctors who understand actual science, okay?)
