Refuge isn’t weakness. It’s an investment. And the returns are human, immeasurable, and generational.

Policies like this pretend they’re about “control.” What they actually do is choke off the very stories that make this country stronger. They don’t see the scared kid who might grow into a doctor, a teacher, a neighbour, a parent.

Scotland has had a go at solving one issue with another - we've got a huge problem with people leaving the islands for the mainland, so we placed some refugees on Bute. It went well! They don't want to leave and we want them to stay, even if Syria is safer now!

'We can finally return to Syria, but this island is our home'
For the first time, Syrians fleeing civil war have a chance of returning home. But do those settled on Bute want to?

USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins plans to make all SNAP recipients reapply and prove "that they literally are vulnerable and they can’t survive without it.”
The 'genuinely disabled'
The 'literally vulnerable'
They keep moving the goalposts.
They were never going to fund SNAP. It's eugenics:

Food aid recipients are already required to recertify their information regularly. But the move is part of USDA chief Brooke Rollins’ effort to overhaul the program.
