If your government thinks the Pope โ€œdoesnโ€™t know what heโ€™s talking aboutโ€ when he defends migrantsโ€™ dignity, the world should see the warning sign. The US is no longer leading on human rights. Itโ€™s suppressing them.

Democratic party leadership has been on autopilot for ten years, they weren't losing to fascism, fascism isn't popular enough for them to lose to fascism, they were allowing it to fill the void where their leadership should have been. Tonight we're seeing that we have other options. They should too.

A lot of the people you see arguing against food assistance are actually on food assistance. They work at Walmart or a convenience store and think they are deserving, but others are not.

This is projection and the way that the 1% keep poor people pitted against poor people so they donโ€™t look up.

โ€œto distinguish real (ICE) operations from fakesโ€.

Hmmm, maybe ban masks, display badges, use warrants, and employ due process rather than abduct people into unmarked cars.

Itโ€™s easy for criminals to impersonate ICE since ICE act like criminals.

When the GOP dismisses SNAP recipients by telling them to 'just get jobs,' they ignore that 70% of those individuals are already
employed full-time.

Something Dems (especially natsecs types) need to get through their thick skulls is the only way we might come back from this internationally is if the accountability for it is swift, broad, and punishing

Politicals, career type, in or out of govt c. 2029, no matter the rank, they all need to fry

In a way, I find the authoritarian takeover of our media system even more disturbing than the authoritarian takeover of our political system.

Our political system has been failing basically my entire adult life. But, the media system provided accountability and sort of worked. Now itโ€™s collapsing.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.

The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.

They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.

Wanna fix fraud and abuse?

Fix that.

The president of the United States thinks asylum-seekers come from mental asylums.

He says it in almost every interview where the topic of migration comes up.

How is this not 25th Amendment territory? How is he not an embarrassment to this entire country?

โ€œThereโ€™s too many Americans on SNAP!โ€

Yes there are. Too many corporations refuse to pay a living wage.

Huge companyies are encouraging their employees to apply for SNAP because they donโ€™t pay them enough to survive.

The government encourages this & then blames the poor.

71.5% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to government data.

Donโ€™t fall for Trumpโ€™s lies about targeting the โ€œworst of the worst.โ€

As Trump's regime terrorizes communities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of his biggest donors are private prison corporations.
