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:

People in ICE detention struggle to access period products, despite rules to provide them
A new federal report spurred a call for better oversight of how pads and tampons are made available in detention and prisons.

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 It’s an outdated expensive bureaucracy that’s been usurped by violent white supremacists.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.

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. #DomesticViolenceAwarenessMonth
