A movement against the failure to bring down high food prices could be a natural ally for the emerging movement to defend society against Trump and MAGA.
It's Time to Expand the Anti-Trump Opposition Into a Food Fight
How can ordinary grocery shoppers organize and become part of the movement that is endeavoring to protect society against Trump’s authoritarian juggernaut?

We need to elevate the issue of high food prices, cuts to SNAP, and cuts to school lunch programs.
Kids deserve to be fed well!!
And, did you know there are cuts to farm to school programs that support local farmers - while feeding kids the tastiest, most nutritious fresh food?

This is sickening. The 7 day notice for visitation needs to be challenged. Congress needs to set up a rotation so a different member is visiting these sites every two days to keep the pressure on them to follow the law and maintain basic conditions.
We documented dozens of cases of brutality — including physical and sexual abuse from guards — that show a humanitarian disaster unfolding at the Fort Bliss military base, where ICE is operating its largest detention center.
President Trump’s mass detention expansion is inhumane and dangerous.
