Today, Luke Farrell (@lukef.bsky.social) explains how complex eligibility requirements have turned America’s safety net into a lucrative revenue stream for monopolistic private contractors.
The Means-Testing Industrial Complex
As Republicans tightened work requirements and eligibility rules for Medicaid and SNAP last year, Equifax’s CEO openly celebrated the profits to be made from administering this deprivation.

Oh hey, they seized rolls in GA. If states don't give Trump the voter rolls he'll just seize them.
3/ The FBI is seeking to seize numerous records from the 2020 election, including ballots, tabulator tapes, digital data and voter rolls.
The warrant alleges that these may constitute “evidence of the commission of a criminal offense.”

That is correct. Trump has set a date to revoke Haitian protected status, and then set a date for the anti-Haitian pogrom to begin the next day.
ICE must go. Miller must go. Noem must go. Even Vance must go. Their ethnonationalist mania gets more violent every day and is going to destroy America.

This is a scheduled pogrom
I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio.
Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3.
Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

What makes Gavin Newsom such a skilled politician is that he stands up to Trump’s bullying with piping hot memes AND is able to agree with Trump about policy

This question matters because your toothless, colorblind whataboutism is what led you to not vote for Harris, personally ushering in the violent white supremacist regime that Project 2025 prescribed, and it will lead you to continue to make morally rotten choices that harm others.

You walk into this bar and show your ICE mugshot, you don't pay a dime.
Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera.
Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.

In an Irish context this was called ‘felon setting’; a favourite tactic of Dublin Castle to punish via RIC/DMP visits to employers & landlords. But after #EasterRising Irish Times eagerly leaped to print detailed lists leaked to them, not realising how this would soon be a roll of honour #spéirgorm

As far as I know, Tom Suozzi here still does not have a primary challenger in his district (NY-3 on Long Island).
The filing deadline is April 6 for the primary on June 23, and if there's a remotely progressive town council member or PTA president in that district, this is the time to make a move.
