Before you go tripping over yourself to justify why Nazi stuff is ok sometimes, consider that Nazism is Nazism is Nazism & there's no two ways about it.

1. You can't even get hot food on SNAP, much less use it for nails or "weave". It doesn't work like a credit card. Items that do not qualify do not ring up.

2. Let's call a spade a spade. That right there was not a dog whistle. It is old school pure uncut Reagan era racism. What he said was RACIST.

'Stop reproducing': Republicans 'can’t seem to decide' how to treat hungry voters With President Donald Trump proclaiming on Friday that β€œI do NOT want Americans to go hungry,” it appears that Trump’s Republican Party is indeed the party of the people. But MSNBC producer Ja’han Jon...

β€œRepublicans, on the other hand, can’t seem to decide whether their message should be that SNAP recipients are the [Democrats’] victims of a shutdown …, or that they are lazy grifters finally getting the harsh wakeup call they deserve.” 1/

SNAP benefits feed essential needs while still leaving many hungry for more Journalist and author Adam Chandler explains what so much of the conversation about them gets wrong.

β€œ70% of wage-earning adults who rely on government programs like SNAP and Medicaid work full-time, many at hugely profitable companies like Walmart and McDonald’s whose low wages are effectively subsidized by tax dollars without any of the blame or paternalistic lectures.”

SNAP provides, roughly $80/week for food. Good luck feeding a family on that. Reporters need to restart the practice of asking these ass clowns the prices of things. Then SHAME THE SHIT OUT OF THEM when they don't know.

But regardless, there is no argument that makes me feel better about 15.6 million children potentially going without food next month in a sudden loss. NO argument. Stop trying to make yourself feel better with intellectual arguments that try to excuse your utter lack of compassion and empathy.

They noted that 1:50 Americans long ago had SNAP and now it’s 1:8. They want to blame households but the REALITY is that it’s companies and policies that allow them to have people working full-time and still cannot feed themselves or their families with the inadequate salaries they are paid.

About 35% of people receiving SNAP are working. Sounds like a low number, but not so much when you break it down. For example, of households with non-disabled, working adults, 86% of these households are working.

I just saw a commentary on how SNAP has gotten out of control and made people lazy.

You know what's spooky? 12% of the population losing food access.

If you're in a state where your rep is holding food access hostage, bother the hell out of them and boo them VERY loudly.

This whole Nazi tattoo dude in the Senate nonsense is revealing of a lot of white folks. Oh your friends have Nazi tattoos too? Oh it doesn't bother you at all? Oh your whole crew you been rolling with has them & y'all are all perfectly democratic? Fascinating. Taking notes.

Day 24 of Emmanuel Garcia being in federal custody.

He’s a 15 year old autistic boy who went missing 4 weeks ago. Houston PD found him, contacted ICE & his Mom is fighting to get him back

She’s not allowed to visit him.

They’re keeping a disabled kid from his family & the media is largely silent

Disabled People are Being Mistreated in ICE Detention Facilities Why is no one talking about it? Where's the media? Where's the public outcry? Another example of the pervasive nature of ableism and how society views disabled people as expendable.

I’m sharing this again because Alma still hasn’t been released, and neither has Rodney Taylor.

ICE is targeting disabled people and counting on society not caring because they see us as expendable.

They also grabbed and dragged a disabled blind man in Portland last week.

4200 dollars a year is less than 90 dollars a week.

We're seeing a massive institutional deportation and state violence apparatus being built and it honestly feels like people dont grasp the sheer scale of it and what already is in place. For every horrific video of masked feds kidnapping people there are so many people pushing paper to help.
