“We found 180,000 dead people on SNAP!”
There are 41 million Americans on SNAP benefits of some kind.
3 million Americans die every year.
All else being equal, 180K SNAP beneficiaries would die every six months.

Brooke Rollins says on Newsmax SNAP participants will have to re-apply for the program.
Details are still unclear.

Trump administration will require SNAP participants to reapply for benefits
The move is part of USDA chief Brooke Rollins’ effort to overhaul the nation’s largest anti-hunger program and get rid of “fraud.”

I‘m tired of being nice about this; “abolitionism” has had years to develop a non-idiot policy program and the best they’ve come up with is ”murder without even the pretense of juridical process.” And I am not nut-picking; this is all over abolitionist writing.
"What about [form of abuse that is mostly de facto decriminalised right now anyway]?"

One reason the political influence of billonaires has been pernicious is that at certain levels of wealth, people will fawn over whatever inane brain diarrhea you emit as though they’ve just bumped into Socrates in the agora.
Something that’s so striking in these emails is how…unimpressive Epstein is. He comes off as a pompous, sub-literate lech. Yes everyone is so mortifyingly solicitous of him! All fawning and flattery! Why?????

Only 29% of Americans support using the U.S. military to kill suspected drug traffickers without a judge or court being involved, a rebuke of President Donald Trump's strikes in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific Ocean, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found.

elite impunity has much MORE HARMFUL manifestations than Nuzzi, but she is ultimately, protected by the same dynamic that protected the Epstein Best Friends Club: the inability of the power class to ever permanently exile people who have proven themselves completely unworthy of being members

President Trump himself is a former longtime friend of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, who killed himself in a federal jail during Trump's first term.

I think we can move this story full circle with a reminder that RFK Jr. also committed sexual assault and flew on Jeffrey Epstein's jet, which he rationalized by explaining that he also knew Harvey Weinstein and Bill Cosby.

I'm not usually a fan of "I can't believe you're using phrase X while Y is happening" framings, but it's absolutely shameless to be using "disappeared" like this when desaparecidos have become a fact of American political life
BlueSky is a bad site used by good people. That describes most social media sites. But BlueSky is egregiously unethical. Any of you can be disappeared for baseless reasons. I've been on social media for 17 years and never been suspended. BlueSky is the first place to do so – over Johnny Cash lyrics.
