FYI: Gutting SNAP benefits is outlined in Chapter 10 of Project 2025.

Remember, this is all by design.
ALL OF IT.

Maybe Don’t Talk to the New York Times About Zohran Mamdani It’s remarkable, the people you’ll hear from. Teach for even a little while at an expensive institutionβ€”the term they tend to prefer is β€œelite”—and odds are that eventually someone who was a studen…

This is a scorching article on the absolute state of The New York Times, and much of the rest of the media.
Not just the billionaire media, note, but also the billionaire-*compliant* media, which both-sides every issue with purchased junktank talking points.

When you're a sociopath and get angry that someone else's medical emergency, just four feet away, drew focus from your gloating and you forget which lie you were on.

Now there are TWO lists the White House won't release.

First it was the Epstein Files. Now it's who's paying for Trump's Golden Ballroom.

Apparently, the only promises the President keeps are those that benefit himself and his billionaire friends.

Senate update: Republicans are now trying to sneak a backdoor national abortion ban into their government funding bill. Republicans will stop at nothing to control women's health care decisions.

People think the biggest wealth divide is between the upper and lower class.

It is not.

The biggest wealth divide is between the upper class and the billionaire class.

To use some conservative/right "logic" on the billionairres.

If we take it all away from them, they're so good at being brilliant and making great things to get rich they'll just do it again. So taking it all from them does them a service to encourage them to work harder and create more wealth.

I wish we could ignore Bill Gates on the climate crisis. But he’s a billionaire, so we can’t | George Monbiot Money talks – and his essay denouncing β€˜near-term emissions goals’ at Cop30 mostly argues the case for letting the ultra-rich off the hook

We should vote only for those who promise to make billionaires history.
We need a great levelling, through tax and redistribution.

Will This Photo Define the Trump Years? A Saturday Prompt

β€œMuch like we may look at a photo of JFK…moments before his assassination in Dallas and wonder how that terrible tragedy could have happened, we may look at this photo of Trump and wonder how this terrible tragedy is happening in our Oval Office now.”

As Americans go hungry, Trump’s out golfing on your dime using your tax dollars. Don’t worry, it’s only about $3–4 million per trip.

Obamacare is far superior to Trumpcare, which consists of all us going broke and dying prematurely.

At a time when Trump wants to double premiums and throw 15 million off the health care they have, please remember that the U.S. is the only major country on Earth not the guarantee health care to all as a human right.

We must pass Medicare for All.

We just de-funded the entire IRS.

We don’t even need new tax law, we could just go after all the billionaires who commit tax fraud (which is like all of them) and make up the difference.

Because a massive chunk goes towards the most expensive military the world has ever seen. It should instead be going to social programs and healthcare.

Every right-winger I’ve seen has said it’s because Republicans didn’t turn up to vote.

Like β€˜Mmmhmmm and WHY do you think that is?’

They’re so close to understanding.

National Socialist Network rallied with police permission at NSW Parliament. The state remains ineffective in responding to the advancement of neo-Nazi groups. Here are their faces sent to us by community members - help us ID them!

Counterpoint: the sandwich thrower wasn’t wrong at all, and ICE should be chased away like this by more people, more often.

190. SNAP WTF? A very quick explainer on what (and why) Justice Jackson issued an "administrative stay" in the SNAP case late on Friday night, and on what's likely to happen next

Read about WHY Ketanji Brown Jackson stayed the SNAP order. Her move is probably the best solution for getting SNAP benefits approved quickly. open.substack.com/pub/stevevla...

The problem with starving the populace to keep them hungry is…

Eventually they will eat you.

I understand why we shut down American airspace for a few days after 9-11 to avoid a repeat attack but imagine shutting down American airspace to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

"Amazon would not be a part of any deal and would not profit from it as the warehouses were built by developers for Amazon but never used or leased by the company. The company is not involved in any discussions with DHS or ICE about warehouse space."

Sounds like Amazon isn't actually involved?
