Black American soldiers literally dug these WWII graves. Traumatic. To acknowledge that fact at a cemetery they helped construct is something the Heritage Foundation cannot accept. As Veterans Day approaches, never forget that this country both compels and disrespects Black military service. Always.
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Median household net worth in the US is about $192,000. Elon Musk just got a $1,000,000,000,000 pay package from Tesla.
The difference is hard to fathom.
In seconds, the median household’s net worth is 2.2 days; Musk’s pay package is 31,710 years.

Over half of the corporations bankrolling Trump’s vanity ballroom are facing (or recently faced) federal investigations into wrongdoing — including violating workers’ rights or misleading consumers.
They also have a combined $279 BILLION in federal contracts.

Lack of medical care is a systemic issue in the injustice system; after nearly three decades of incarceration, this man died of cancer that could have been treated.
He Died of Treatable Cancer in Prison. These Are His Last Words.
Months before his death, Ralph Marcus explained how California’s prison system failed him when a COVID-era leg injury led to a rare bone cancer.

The law’s cruelty doesn’t end with benefit cuts. Beginning in 2027, the federal government will slash its share of SNAP’s administrative costs from 50 percent to 25 percent, forcing states to cover the rest.

I'm wrapping up the final states for my annual rate change project, and check out Molina Healthcare of Mississippi. 👀
They were already asking for a 39% avg increase. They were just approved for...nearly 60%.

I've seen so many people online using the government shutdown as an opportunity to demonize people who receive SNAP benefits, WIC and any kind of government assistance.
Here's the thing:

We need to end the WHITE welfare state
