The Nazis called people who needed assistance β€˜useless eaters’, and in turning off SNAP, this regime is doing the exact same thing

The β€œuseless eater” rhetoric has been used time and time again to target disabled people, and they will suffer without SNAP.
No One "Deserves" to Starve
SNAP funding is set to expire at the end of the month, meaning 42 million Americans will go hungry. A large percentage of those on SNAP are disabled, and many won't be able to stand in a bread line.

The architect I’m dating calls Trump’s ballroom β€œa mausoleum for taste” and says he’s turning neoclassical restraint into a Vegas brunch buffet - he hasn’t been this angry since someone called Brutalism β€œugly on purpose.”

🚨 SLC joins the list of cities where someone who HAS documents is ignored and abducted in the light of day. And people just stand there and fucking watch, just like they did in 1938. You should be so ashamed for just standing and gawking. 1/2

Banana republic shit.
Breaking news: The DOJ placed two federal prosecutors on leave after they filed a document in court that referred to the Jan. 6. attack on the U.S. Capitol as a β€œriot” carried out by a β€œmob,” two people familiar with the matter said.
Two U.S. prosecutors suspended after describing Jan. 6 attack as β€˜mob’
The suspensions come in the case of a 2021 Capitol rioter who faces sentencing for unrelated weapons charges.

Tip of the effin' ICEberg, this is.
A mother of 8 was deported within 24 hours of reporting sexual harassment by an ICE contracto

She was following the rules & going through the process to get her green card

Someone working on behalf of ICE abused her.

She spoke out and was kicked out of the country.

It’s retaliation & it’s wrong

TUCKER: "Not to be the bearer of bad news, but it looks like we're about embark on another regime change war β€” like next week. There is a U.S. naval armada steaming toward Venezuela. Not too many people seem to be talking about it.”

Starving the children is the epitome of being pro-life.
By paying taxes/ money to the perpetrators of this crime in order to enable the crime are we not accessories?

ICE deported a Sacramento mother of 8 U.S. citizen children just one day after she accused an ICE contractor of sexual abuse. Reyna Mendoza said the officer demanded β€œsexual favors” in exchange for help, telling her, β€œIf you’re good to me, I’ll be good to you.” Her story aired Thursday night.

The gun pointed at the protesters is at a ridiculous range - rubber bullets are bullets. The gas is to be used for crowd control… not to point and spray at seated people attempting to recover from being attacked. These people, ICE, are criminals. No honor, no integrity.
