The world’s first trillionaire initiated a move that has left more than half a million people dead, most of whom are children.

The Shutdown of U.S.A.I.D. Has Already Killed Hundreds of Thousands The short documentary β€œRovina’s Choice” tells the story of what goes when aid goes.

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

Deep in Trump country, coal miners with black lung say government is suffocating the 'working man' Lisa Emery, a respiratory therapist, is deeply concerned about West Virginia coal miners suffering from black lung disease.

Make Lung Disease Great Again

This should be the Trump Administration's new slogan.

The Mine Safety & Health Administration has stopped enforcing the silica exposure standard and is dismantling NIOSH, which does lung disease research and certifies respirators.

CNN: "A brand new report is out showing layoff announcements hit their highest level for October in over 20 years. It's painting a picture of a job market that is really hurting. US-based employers announced 150,074 job cuts in October, more than any October since 2003."

Excessive force. PERIOD!

They called them β€œviolent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members.

At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.

No, SNAP Benefits Aren’t Mostly Used by Immigrants SNAP benefits are set to run out on Saturday. Far-right influencers and extremists are incorrectly claiming that immigrants are the main recipients of food stamps.

The Trump administration already cut SNAP by $186 billion earlier this year. Now they are refusing to fund November benefits for 42 million Americans. This isn't about the shutdown β€” it's about priorities.

And hungry families apparently aren't one of them.

On Nov. 1, 40 million Americans, including 3 million Floridians, will go hungry.

Hunger isn't a political game. It's a moral failure by this administration that can and must fund SNAP.

Trump cuts probably hindered warning process for Alaska storm that displaced hundreds, experts say Reductions in weather balloon launches could have degraded forecasts that residents depend on to prepare

"A majority of western Alaska’s weather balloon network was not operating during the landfall of the storm last weekend due to staffing constraints inflicted by the Trump administration..."

Trump's Ag Secretary Brooke Rollins has the authority to ensure SNAP benefits continue during the shutdown. Their own shutdown guidance confirmed it.

Instead, they decided to illegally reverse course and cut SNAP benefits for 42M hard working Americans. Hunger is not a political tool. Shameful.

β€œWalmart was the top employer of SNAP recipients in five states and one of the top four employers in the remaining four states. McDonald’s was among the top five employers of Medicaid enrollees in five of six states and SNAP recipients in eight of nine states.”

Marc Lobliner post on X: "Why the hell are we giving food stamps to 40 million people? Does anyone work anymore?"

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.

Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:

* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled

* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employedβ€”but in jobs that pay poverty wages

They're demonizing SNAP and other recipients of federal aid on right wing media.

Of 21 million federal aid beneficiaries, ~70% work full-time and 39% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. Critics need to ask Amazon and Walmart why they won't pay enough for their employees to survive w/o food stamps.

I looked it up once. SNAP takes 2% of the US budget and 93% of the money goes to the actual poor people instead of to the bureaucracy. So it's kind of like if you paid $1000 in taxes, you spent $20 on the poor of which they got to keep $18.60, and you spent $166.66 on the military.

This image needs to be in every mainstream news outlet

It’s why I spend so much of my advocacy on ICE & the militarization of US cities

It’s a disability justice issue

They’re literally targeting disabled people because we’re easy marks

ICE will disable more people with their vicious attacks.
