The food stamp cuts in the Big Beautiful Bill are $18 billion this year.
Latest update from Columbia prez re: the abduction of their student this morning. DHS is fucking deranged.
“The agents gained entry by stating they were police searching for a missing child. Our security cameras captured the agents in the hallway showing pictures of the alleged missing child.”
Remember to tell people that things have NOT DEESCALATED. Pulling 700 agents means there's 2,300 agents on our streets, terrorizing us and kidnapping our neighbors.
Sama'a's baby girl is sick, and Gaza is cold and starving. Please give what you can.

“Screenshot of a promoted Reddit post by u/AYAGDOS. The post reads: ‘Navigating gender dysphoria? Join our confidential, cross-country study of 18–25 year olds to tell your story, challenge preconceptions, and have YOUR experience reflected in the science.’ Below is a banner graphic with the Northwestern University logo and the text ‘TRANS OR GENDERQUEER? SHARE YOUR STORY.’ The image shows a close-up of a hand with light pink nail polish, partially painted blue, held up against a blurred background. A link to ayagdos.org and a ‘Learn More’ button appear at the bottom, along with Reddit vote and share icons.”
If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access to care. Spread the word.
ICE has been holding a disabled Black man for a year!

Tesla shareholders voted to offer Elon a trillion dollar incentive.
But whether he gets it or not is up to us.
He's gotta sell millions of cars and robots to bring in that ungodly sum. If you want to block it, join us in the streets #teslatakedown #MuskMustFall

Nearly two dozen states are suing the Trump administration for failing to salvage SNAP benefits amid the ongoing shutdown.

Federal agents raided the WRONG HOME in Portland—no warrant, guns drawn on a family with a baby. ICE still arrested 2 people after realizing the mistake. ICE official on the aggressive tactics: "If people interpret that as aggressive, so be it."
If you would like to support some of the families of people who have been abducted by ICE in my area during the recent federal attacks on our community that I've written about, local organizers have put together this trusted list of crowd funds.
It costs ~$70 to produce a year’s supply of insulin.
Yet, the average annual cost of insulin went from $2,864 in 2012 to $5,705 in 2016 to $18,000 in 2025. A 25,714% markup. That isn’t inflation or supply chain—It’s corporate greed.
Now—California will sell insulin for $11. Make this nationwide!

NLG attorneys on site here have asked repeatedly to speak with protesters they're representing inside. No progress at this time. Messages being passed from ICE agent through fence supposedly to some kind of supervisors inside.
Today demonstrates American politics in a nutshell:
•Senate MAGAs: Voted unanimously to change the Senate rules to confirm 48 of Trump’s nominees at once
•Senate Dems: Responded by voting unanimously with Senate MAGAs to make Oct 14 the National Day of Remembrance for Charlie Kirk
*Deep sigh...smh*
Just a reminder that the p*lice are defunding YOU
Not ICE! CPD and the city destroying unhoused people's belongings:
Obviously fuck the NYT who will take any opportunity to try to sell more fascism to liberals, but this is also why "actually we do want DEA, FBI, and ATF help" is terrible terrible fucking messaging and everyone saying it - like JB Pritsker - should stop at once.
