Great news: DC government will cover any SNAP gap in November with local funds. Great news from the courts: the feds can't shut off SNAP.
The federal government's decision to unlawfully withhold SNAP funding will leave thousands in DC at risk of hunger, thousands of children & seniors without food on the table.
We compiled a list of Ward 1 food aid resources. Please share with neighbors in need.

The Trump administration’s decision to gut the Office of Special Education—leaving just three staff—is cruel and unacceptable.
Over 7 million children depend on these services. Disability rights are human rights, not “Democrat programs.”
We must stand with families and fight back. 💪🏾 #SpecialEd

More than 7.3 million children in all 50 states rely on special education services, which are partially funded and enforced by the federal government.
Trump’s attempt to gut special education office has some conservative parents on edge
The president called the layoffs a part of cuts to “Democrat programs,” but children across the nation would be impacted.

They make threats to get people to obey in advance
They weaponize and want us to fear subgroups to keep us divided and apart

As DC residents rise up to protect one another, one mayor is getting retweeted by the White House and the entire right wing media sphere for applauding the federal intervention. Makes my stomach literally turn.

"On way 1st day teaching journalism course on covering immigration, met by ICE in Mt.Pleasant at Lamont - agents appear to take father driving young daughter, likely to school. Agents shoving bystanders, daughter sobs it’s her fault-she’d seen car parked for 2hrs. Trump’s America"
