An estimated 93,000 will die a premature death due to the loss of SNAP between now and 2039.
The ‘Make America Healthy Again’ party would rather people sink deeper into poverty and food insecurity than get the essential assistance they need to buy groceries.

In the not shocking category, ICE raids suppress employment, including by US citizens:
“Persons reporting private sector work in CA decreased by 4.9%, with citizens forming a greater share of the decrease. The state’s downturn in work is comparable with the Great Recession & the COVID-19 pandemic.”

I want to be clear: this is what American prisons are like.
I spent years posting about the humanitarian crisis in U.S. prisons. The criminal legal system consigns Americans who are incarcerated to live like this FOR YEARS. DECADES.

Good. President Trump's deployment of thousands of federalized National Guard troops to LA is a dangerous abuse of power intended to scare people who oppose his draconian anti-immigrant policies into silence.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
