it is *critically* important now for Dems to create a climate in which there is a threat of punishment once power is switched. The more we can create a threatening shadow of the future, the greater the probability of preventing harm in the present

I think this a great move. Give people money directly, at the place where they're spending the money, and at a place that makes it really easy to spend that money in a healthy way.
To support city families facing food insecurity during the holiday season, Fresh Connect Emergency Checks from the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets will be distributed at the Public Market.

Democrats have ample material to make the case that the sole governing principle of Republicans is to hurt people. They threatened to starve kids, they're sending healthcare costs through the roof, and they're doing this all while funneling billions of dollars to ICE so they can kidnap people.
