U.S. map showing that most states have probation violation-related disqualifications for SNAP benefits
As food insecurity runs rampant in the U.S., hunger is being used as punishment.
Most U.S. states have restrictions on SNAP benefits for people with probation violations — potentially leaving many vulnerable folks behind:
Even when prisons & immigration detention centers are mandated to provide essential menstrual products, they still fail to do so.
Some menstruating folks behind bars are forced to use dirty rags or the filling from mattresses to make their own tampons:

Do we need to say it louder? Here. Louder.

No. We don’t need to “modify ICE training.” We need to close DHS. Dismantle it. It’s an outdated expensive bureaucracy that’s been usurped by violent white supremacists. Shut it down.
John Miller: If you're confronted by a moving vehicle that could be a threat to you, get out of the way. I'm reading to you from DHS policy; 'DHS law enforcement officers are prohibited from discharging firearms at the operator of a moving vehicle or other conveyance.'
Haymarket’s Books Not Bars program receives an average of 50 letters each week at its post office box, many of them requesting books about Black liberation, radical poetry, and political history.

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.

There is a common misconception that sex workers cannot be survivors of domestic violence. But, research shows they experience DV at high rates due to the intersection of anti- sex worker stigma, criminalization, racism, queerphobia, and gendered stereotypes.

Welcome to the wonderful world of "trafficking."
The grift is in no way limited to Epstein. Anti-trafficking in general is a faith-based morals campaign serving as cover for state surveillance and increased criminalization of sex workers.
Services and justice survivors is the lowest priority.
If you grew up in a household with an evangelical right-wing parent, as I did, you already know that the dismantling of the U.S. Department of Education, like the reversal of Roe v. Wade, is the culmination of a 50-year project.
I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.
New rule: no criticizing the way others choose to resist unless you have a better, actionable idea and kind, constructive feedback. New ideas are good! Performative contrarianism is useless.
Pie chart titled: Only 8% of confined people are held in private prisons

The “Homeland” is not a thing, it was made up by GW Bush and anti-Arab warmongers to help the climate for militarization after 9/11, Dept of “Homeland Security” was invented 22 yrs ago and widely seen as creepy and propagandizing at the time
It’s only ever been bullshit

Top Ten Myths About the Adult Industry-
MYTH 1: All sex work is trafficking
This myth ignores the distinction between consensual labor and coerced exploitation.
Policies built on this myth lead to increased policing, harmful rescue raids & mass criminalization—none of which protect victims.
Evasion of peer review is a hallmark of pseudoscience.
But even more insidious is the obviation of scientific scrutiny by publishing in pseudoscientific journals that exist to provide an illusion of scientific legitimacy.
There’s nothing new about MAHA’s propaganda tactics.
