This White House made a choice to pay ICE instead of SNAP and ATC - we could just as easily be flying just fine and feeding people instead of harassing them. Don't cave now
For the left, there’s a fracture between neoliberals and progressives. For the right, it’s between Nazis and moderates. Progressives and moderates are finding common ground in resistance. Currently can’t tell if establishment Dems will join the Nazis in the minority or the People in the majority.
Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."
Mamdani: “So hear me, President Trump, when I say this: to get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us.”
#USDemocracy People who have no compassion for people with a limited to no income, often suffer aporophobia, the fear of people less fortunate, financially. It’s a condition trigged by the fact that one feels they can’t be loved without money. Usually because they have nothing else to offer.
💥 Decades later, Tupac’s still speaking truth. Republicans got money for wars, luxuries and billionaires but won’t feed the poor.
Guzy set out to photograph a parade. "Then I’m like, well maybe I should check it (immigration court) out for a day or two — and here I am, almost five months later." "I’m 100% sure that things are done differently because eyes are on the scene." Photojournalism can impact both sides of the lens.
ICE in courts: How two photojournalists are dealing with the trauma of documenting immigrant detentions at Federal Plaza | amNewYork
Almost every day for five months, photojournalists David Dee Delgado and Carol Guzy have entered 26 Federal Plaza with cameras in hand.

OK folks, here's the deal. Spotify is running ICE recruitment ads and has ignored asks to stop. It's time to tell them we won't stream fascism - by cancelling our subscriptions. Here's how to get started: indivisible.org/cancel-spotify
The future of the Democratic Party must be rooted in investing in the American people — not Wall St., corporations, and consultants. Otherwise, Trumpism will continue to use cynicism, racism, and distrust to divide America.
@homedepotofficial.bsky.social sucks for letting ICE hunt on their private property. Home Depot has benefited for decades from having the day laborers on site, yet shows them no loyalty or compassion now the political tide has turned. #BoycottHomeDepot #ShopLowes #FuckingFascists

More people have died this year in immigration detention than any other year in decades. The best way to prevent abuse and deaths in ICE custody is for Congress to stop funding the ICE detention machine.
ICE is hiring dozens of health workers as lawsuits, deaths in custody mount
Nearly as many migrants have died in detention so far this year than over the four years of the Biden administration.

SNAP kept my two sisters and I healthy as kids. Without it, poverty’s bite would’ve been more painful & the scars all the more evident. Our children & families deserve better, especially as we head into the cold winter months.
jenn m. jackson@jennmjacksonphd.bsky.social · 10mo agoI want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

Chicago priest Father Michael Pfleger: "The state of emergency is in AMERICA, not Chicago. It's birthed from this president and his admin's reign of terror." ( ht: @mikenellis.bsky.social )
Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality. Every time the stronger brutalize the weak, it’s fundamentally the same playbook. Our duty is to stand up to brutality. Our moral obligation is to protect the vulnerable and hold the powerful accountable.
Stephen Miller knows what he says here is false. He is fishing to see what kind of support he gets. This is why I have told you repeatedly we do everything peacefully and we control the narrative. Keep the peaceful pictures coming from your beautiful Democratic Party run cities.

The pattern is the same: racism dressed up as fiscal concern. This has never been about healthcare. It’s about who they think deserves humanity. It was racism then, and it’s racism today.
absolutely brilliant. particularly smart given whatever creeper algos Tiktok's fascist owners are starting to implement 🎩 @markchappelle.bsky.social
