Advocates say some tactics used by officers to target Latinos in Trump’s deportation effort draw from Joe Arpaio’s playbook.

“The model was Maricopa County — the very public, very humiliating, demoralizing approach to the raids, and the cruelty.”

With @azluminaria.org

This County Was the “Model” for Local Police Carrying Out Immigration Raids. It Ended in Civil Rights Violations.

Under Sheriff Joe Arpaio, Maricopa County was one of the first testing grounds for ICE’s 287(g) program, which lets local police enforce immigration laws. Many Arizonans say those abuses parallel what...

Eli Crane, in AZ 02, voted for this. 1/3 of his constituents are on Medicaid. A lot of the rest of us are on AHCCCS, AZ version of AHC.
Kids here are on SNAP. (Or, will be until Nov 1).
Their parents still go to the food bank. Funds cut too.
Do I think he is going to fix this? No. He voted for this.

Not only do they help people not die of starvation, they also give the farmers a reliable customer to purchase their goods.

“According to a 2019 USDA report, every dollar in new SNAP benefits increases GDP by $1.50 in a weak economy.”

“SNAP benefits are one of the fastest, most effective forms of economic stimulus because they get money into the economy quickly during a recession.”

I volunteer driving food to recipients for a local pantry and I appreciate you for doing this. 1/3 of their funding(federal) was cut last spring. They recently sent out a newsletter that outlined the SNAP/WIC crisis in facts. It’s incredibly concerning.

🙋🏻‍♀️ ARE YOU PAYING ATTENTION? Trump canceled 94 million pounds of food aid, leaving millions hungry. ProPublica’s USDA records reveal exactly what never reached food banks—including the number of eggs—showing the human cost of the administration’s cuts.

Y’all, Spotify’s stock price sunk by 5% in 1 day. YOU did this by spreading the word to boycott them for running ICE ads.

These billionaires only speak one language—money—so let’s keep up the pressure. Tell everyone you know to cancel their Spotify subscriptions. Send them to BoycottSpotify.com.

Spotify stock graph showing a decrease of $28 in one day (Friday 10/24), the day after Spotify’s boycott became a trending topic on Bluesky. This is a roughly 5% decrease in value.

I read earlier that USDA says that any state providing funds to replace SNAP will not have them reimbursed when/if the shutdown ends. But Loserana is a deep red state, so maybe they'll get away with it.

Support your local Meals on Wheels, Senior center, Food Bank or whatever you might call it when we feed our neighbors.
Nov 1 would be a good day to donate!

There was an incredible turnout across small-town USA! Many events weren’t even on our radar. Our coalition initially tracked around 3,000 events, but the number has now surged past 4,000 and counting.

Pancakes and eggs for dinner at the end of the month. YUM! Syrup. We know our moms loved us. I did the same for my kids. And those neighbor kids who came along. Pancakes go a long way! A little flour, milk, salt, baking powder, good to go for 10 people if needed.
