I don’t know the background of this footage, but what I do know is there was a time not so long ago that footage like this would be national news.

Now footage like this is normal. It’s just another day under the Trump regime.

I will also add:

I can do this for evictions in Illinois too, if SNAP benefits being cut off or the government shutdown means you can't make rent.
If you're arrested in Illinois for the means by which you acquire food for your family because of the government shutdown or loss of SNAP benefits, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at [email protected]. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.

Recently a marginalized client and I got a good result at trial on a bullshit charge related to all the fascism. After court, I congratulated the client and said the case was over.

Client was pissed.

This is why "signed copies" don't matter.
Damaging your own works with a meaningless mark no one can ever prove was the real author,
and which signifies nothing important to anyone is a waste of time.

You could have been actually talking to 1 fan instead, or writing another work.

Nancy Pelosi passed the ACA, got us the first major federal gun violence prevention bill in 30 years, and as the first woman elected House Speaker, delivered the votes...every single time. Thank you, Speaker Pelosi, for making room for the next generation to lead.

Exactly. Nothing will ever come of it. It will be all “we need to move on to start healing” and “we need to
come together and forgive and forget the past”.
The rest of the world will not forgive or forget the insults, threats, and atrocities you’ve committed.

"Just following orders" is not, and cannot be, a defense.
Abolishing ICE is the moderate position. What we need is prosecutions and long prison terms at every level of the agency.
“They didn’t just walk in chasing one person, they went into multiple rooms asking and looking for teachers while children were present,” Ramirez said. “This is an agency that has gone rogue and it an agency that believes that as long as they can cover their face, they can get away with anything.”

We’re making the biggest ever investment in Medicare, ever.

This week, we expanded the bulk billing incentive to every Australian, and boosted payments to GP clinics that bulk bill every patient.

Because when you’re sick, you should be able to see a doctor without worrying about the cost.

Looking after each other - that’s the Australian way and that's the Labor way.

This week we made it easier to see a GP for free, expanding bulk billing right across the country.

Labor created Medicare, and we'll always protect it.

Why do people buy pizza with EBT?

Because cauliflower is five dollars a head and you can buy five pizzas with the same money.

It’s not that folks don’t want to be healthy. They can’t afford to be healthy.

Considering how universal the sharing of food is across all cultures of our species, people who don’t want to share food with those who need it are innately broken as hominids.

"The latest strike brought the total publicly announced death toll to 61. ... [T]he CIA is carrying out covert operations in Venezuela and surrounding areas. Venezuela's government claimed that it foiled a false flag attack by a CIA-backed group on an American warship this week."
Amnesty International USA condemned the strikes as a “murder spree.” “The administration has not even named its victims, nor provided evidence of their alleged crimes. But even if they did, intentionally killing people accused of committing crimes who pose no imminent threat to life is murder.”
