Grocery stores were trying to help SNAP recipients while they are getting no benefits. They offered special coupons. Trump’s USDA informed the stores they can’t offer discounts to recipients amid the shutdown. Trump threatened stores with taking away their authorization to participate in SNAP.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.
Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.
Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.
But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.
