The law’s cruelty doesn’t end with benefit cuts. Beginning in 2027, the federal government will slash its share of SNAP’s administrative costs from 50 percent to 25 percent, forcing states to cover the rest.

Obama: "It's like every day is Halloween, except it's all tricks and no treats. And here's the thing -- it's not as if we did not see some of this coming. I mean, I'll admit it's worse than even I expected, but I did warn y'all. And you know what? Donald Trump warned you too."

#resist #snap #justice Feeling really sad today that we have leaders who will starve babies. Proud of MA and RI. If Trump and his goons believe this is the fault of the Dems, then they just got permission from the judiciary to spend emergency funds. Or, did these judges just call Trump’s bluff?

#resist Read an article this morning and it quoted James Baldwin: “The world changes according to the way people see it, and if you alter, even by a millimeter, the way a person looks or people look at reality, then you can change it.” Engage with your community!

#resist Blue collar work is not cos-play. It means wear on the body, exposure to toxins, and eating peoples’ s****. To save this country from the hold of fascism, “progressives” need to get real. Not every white cis man with a traditional blue collar job is MAGA. We must grow a bigger tent.

#dystopianUSA #resist WTF? USDA website notice: “Due to the Radical Left Democrat shutdown, this government website will not be updated during the funding lapse. President Trump has made it clear he wants to keep the government open and support those who feed, fuel, and clothe the American people.”

#resist #resistance Woke up and the first thought in my head this morning was…”OMG, we are not even one year through the Trump administration!” Second thought, “Ok, well, I better pull myself out of my introverted slumber and start asking my community what they need…not assume I know what they need”

#resist #resistance When we allow the Market to drive decisions on important quality of life decisions and eliminate genuine civil discourse with a digital panopticon, we have a problem. I understand it’s a misquote, but “Houston, we have a HUGE problem”.

#resistance #resist #immigration The $100k fee for H-1B employees is NOT about incentivizing tech giants to hire US workers. Lies! The only companies that can pay the $100k are the tech giants. It’s the small companies, hospitals, colleges and non-profit research centers that can’t pay the $100k.

#resist #resistance #freespeech I’m a free speech absolutist. I’m fine with the hate mongers shouting the quiet parts from the rooftops because it exposes how prolific the hate really is. What is terrifying is that any challenge or dissent to the hate speech is being eradicated.

#resist #resistance I have big disagreements with the Catholic Church. But, I have deep respect for Pope Francis’ strong anti-war stance throughout his papacy. Donald Trump is supposed to be a world leader, not a performance artist. This is next-level Trump a***hole.

The Supreme Court ordered the Trump administration not to deport Venezuelans under Alien Enemies Act, for now.

#resitance #resist #ruleoflaw Judge Boasberg gave the Federal government until 4/23 to “purge their contempt” and prove they did not violate his TRO, or they can give the name(s) of who chose not to halt the deportations out of the U.S. Will MAGA sacrifice its own or just say F***you?
