"Why don't people support welfare programs?"
Racism. More specifically, anti-Blackness.
White folks asked about who welfare serves overestimate the number of Black people on welfare. Not only that, but just the mere THOUGHT of who welfare supports led less white people to support it. #blacksky

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.
Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

Herbal supplements were supposed to make them healthier. Instead, they got sick
Common compounds like turmeric and ashwagandha can overwhelm the liver and lead to health complications
I often get attacked for posting about the potential harms caused by dietary supplements, and I do not care.
Itβs important for the public to have accurate information.
Supplements are made by companies just like Big Pharma, except without intensive FDA oversight.
They can cause harm.

How Trump is Building a Violent, Shadowy Federal Police Force
Trumpβs DHS appointees have dismantled civil rights guardrails, protected agentsβ anonymity and encouraged them to wear masks, threatened groups that stood in their way, and overwhelmed legal challeng...
Six months after ICE apprehended 47 people, including nine kids, in Hays County, Tex., County Judge Ruben Becerra says DHS has ignored his attempts to get answers:
βWeβre not told why they took them, and weβre not told where they took them. By definition, thatβs a kidnapping.β

Alt text: Screenshot of a Fox News Digital article reporting that Apple removed the ICEBlock tracking app from its App Store after the Department of Justice raised safety concerns. The article states DOJ officials, under Attorney General Pam Bondi, asked Apple to take down the app, claiming it endangered law enforcement officers and shielded illegal immigrants. Bondi confirmed the removal in a statement, saying ICEBlock put ICE agents at risk and emphasized DOJβs commitment to protecting federal officers.
This was done at the direction of Pam Bondi. The US government is now dictating what apps you can have on your phone.
The underlying threat here is if Apple didn't comply, they'd slap billions in tariffs on Apple products.

The Women and Child Protection Act does not protect anyone. Instead, it will cause clinicians to second guess themselves.
Minutes ago, the Texas Senate passed HB7, which will incentivize people to bring $100,000 lawsuits against anyone who makes, sends, or transports abortion medication in Texas.

Michigan man who had never been to Iraq was deported there. He couldn't get insulin and died.
"Jimmy died tragically yesterday of a diabetic crisis. His death could have and should have been prevented," said Jimmy Aldaoud's congressman in Michigan.
Thinking about Jimmy Aldaoud today, who was an undocumented immigrant with type 1 diabetes and of Iraqi descent (had never been there and didnβt speak their language). The Trump administration deported him to Iraq in 2019, where he died on the streets of Baghdad from DKA. Pure evil.
