And the homeless ranks will grow!

mimisf.bsky.social•15 days ago

Yup! And we already have over 7,000 homeless and even more who are housing insecure (bordering on homelessness) in the Bay Area. Imagine those numbers across the nation.

halcarver1776.bsky.social•15 days ago

Excellent points! I hear doctors without Borders does a really good job. With the price increases in Medicare, I was headed that way myself.

mimisf.bsky.social•14 days ago

Those doctors are courageous, too.

phil-stone.bsky.social•15 days ago

Got a text from Amnesty International about their trying to help people in THE US.

mimisf.bsky.social•15 days ago

That's awesome and heartbreaking at the same time. Doctors with Borders does serve rural areas in America, but they WILL need to expand. The thing is we need to share these resources soon. Medicaid and SNAP are going to be cut.

bowtoy.bsky.social•15 days ago

You shouldn't call it an administration when you know for a fact, it's a regime! Why are you soft talking to them?

mimisf.bsky.social•15 days ago

Oh, I didn't intend to soft talk to them. But you'll see that I did intend to show the difference, by saying "this administration" as opposed to the others we've had. Regime is good.

susannahredelfs.bsky.social•15 days ago

OMG someone more talented than I needs to make AI Save the Children videos of American kids starving in this country right now. Especially since this regime is cutting agencies and programs that will throw more children into poverty and illness.

mimisf.bsky.social•15 days ago

Tell me about it. In another post yesterday, I played with some satire on it.

rajaru.bsky.social•16 days ago

This seems like the most likely scenario.

mimisf.bsky.social•16 days ago

I know, right? I seriously see this coming. Especially now with Medicaid and SNAP under threat.

And with tariffs making necessary things expensive and scarce, Americans won't be able to afford helping other Americans.

tomdollar.bsky.social•15 days ago

You may well need it, but I cant see anyone doing it.

mimisf.bsky.social•15 days ago

This isn't hyperbole. To start, when Congress cuts Medicaid and SNAP (VERY SOON), how will we get life-saving healthcare and food to those who relied upon them?

bewildered37.bsky.social•15 days ago

When Trump crashes the American economy, will it be his seventh bankruptcy? Or should the good faith and credit of the United States of America count for more than one of his casinos?

mimisf.bsky.social•15 days ago

It should count for each and every American business AND individual that have to go bankrupt and fold b/c of him. So, I think it's gonna get into the millions. He finally for ffs needs to be held accountable. For ALL counts.

kjseamus.bsky.social•15 days ago

I mean you're not off. I surprise myself how often I hope that other countries will stand strong, thus slowing the relentless damage.

mimisf.bsky.social•15 days ago

I do as well. It's our compassion. We've never seen a government like this.

kjseamus.bsky.social•14 days ago

Watching Dodgers right now. That's my team. Like USA is my home and people. Hoping that the EU keeps stalling on trade so that Trump is stalled, hoping our Bond market keeps declining is like rooting for the Angels in this game, i.e INSANITY

mimisf.bsky.social•14 days ago

But Trump is living in his own world. He won't face the truth. When experts tell him we're headed to another Great Depression, he doesn't want to believe it. He lies and says tariffs are great, we're doing well, we're making money. No, he's making money with all his corruption. WE are losing money.

kjseamus.bsky.social•13 days ago

We are the "we". Cuz they are and will continue to make money. And some voters may never actually know they were robbed. Yes, we took in more money in April than we spent. But some voters won't realize it's because we were just taxed through purchases.

ishineabroad.bsky.social•15 days ago

Well of course. Our capitalist government has been creating the situations around the world. (Just because we supply a "solution" doesn't mean we didn't cause it to begin with and continue it still) Why wouldn't they eventually turn on us too.

mimisf.bsky.social•15 days ago

True. But why should we or anyone anywhere have to suffer the consequences of their fucked-up government, based on some kind of karmic capitalist justice? I'd rather see Trump and Musk walking miles to get water and vaccines.

jennbeardie.bsky.social•15 days ago

Feed the children had an American campaign. I remember the videos. We have a lot of Americans and their kids that aren't eating.

timonvanhaeften.bsky.social•15 days ago

I am not convinced…

mimisf.bsky.social•15 days ago

Where will people get their healthcare after Congress cuts Medicaid? Where will we get any necessary foods if these tariffs continue? Our farmers are suffering. And that's just part of it.

We will not immediately turn into a 3rd world country. But our children might see it coming.

timonvanhaeften.bsky.social•15 days ago

I am not convinced that other countries will start feeding the Americans - most administrations will continue to assume that you should be able to quickly resolve this yourselves

mimisf.bsky.social•15 days ago

Remember at the start of Trump's tariff tantrums, Canada's Trudeau at the time said he'd go easy on the blue states? They all know we're suffering. On other socials, I've chatted with people all over the world saying things like it's too bad you guys have MAGA, using the number "75 million" for us.

timonvanhaeften.bsky.social•15 days ago

Yes, I am sure (and saddened!) that you are suffering- I really hope that you will be able to work it out!

mimisf.bsky.social•15 days ago

Oh! I didn't know you weren't here. 😆 But yes, we, the People, are scared and angry as hell.

mimisf.bsky.social•15 days ago

They're not associating the administration with we, the American people. 75 million people heartbroken, angry, and afraid, protesting every day is a lot to other countries. I'm not disagreeing with you. I just notice that other countries are already starting to see the difference in the news I read.

makanaboy.bsky.social•16 days ago

I'd also add that Teach for America or Teaching overseas will eventually become our only source for training/hiring teachers since colleges will be eliminated.

mimisf.bsky.social•16 days ago

YES!

williamjc13.bsky.social•15 days ago

The fascist will not allow in outside assistance.

They would rather we perish.

We are in it deep. And the water’s rising.

mimisf.bsky.social•15 days ago

I thought of that, too. But I see how those Doctors w/o Borders, for one, risk their lives.

Further along, I don't think Trump wants people feeling sorry for Americans.

Besides, we are already on 2 Human Rights Watch lists.

jay2theworld.bsky.social•15 days ago

Yeah especially as the rest of the world is throwing tons of money and resources to lure away our scientists, doctors and nurses. So we are going to be quite literally relying on foreign doctors in red rural areas like they do in Africa. 🤦‍♂️ fucking maga what the actual fuck.

mimisf.bsky.social•15 days ago

Yup. I was surprised at how quickly they were being recruited overseas right after being laid off. I hope they don't forget us. :'(

heartlight145.bsky.social•15 days ago

Yup, only no one is going to want to fly in to deliver anything because none of us want to end up in an El Salvadore prison.

mimisf.bsky.social•14 days ago

I hear ya. We go from President Biden and VP Kamala welcoming back Americans unjustly imprisoned in Russia to Trump kidnapping innocent people and sending them to concentration camps. No transparency, no due process, no taking responsibility. Just lies to try and justify their actions.
It's evil.

mc-grammar.bsky.social•15 days ago

Trevor Noah predicted this on his very first appearance on The Daily Show.

travisneal87.bsky.social•15 days ago

Yup. He called Trump an African dictator

mimisf.bsky.social•15 days ago

I remember that part. I miss Trevor!

iwsswims.bsky.social•15 days ago

Trump will prevent them from entering by using the military to stop them the same as Israel prevents aid and all his freaking role models ie Hitler, Putin etc do.

henrischuyers17.bsky.social•16 days ago

We’re heading that way

mimisf.bsky.social•16 days ago

With these tariffs and the GOP planning to cut Medicaid and SNAP, it's coming soon.

haroldaharcourt.bsky.social•15 days ago

They have. "Feeding America" is just one. https://www.feedingamerica.org/

mimisf.bsky.social•15 days ago

We're gonna need Feeding America to feed most of America then.

icefragrance.bsky.social•16 days ago

Hard to argue with that...

mimisf.bsky.social•16 days ago

It's incredibly disconcerting and scary.

gemini21.bsky.social•16 days ago

It's just plain evil. What Trump is doing will cause seniors and the disabled to struggle needlessly.

mimisf.bsky.social•16 days ago

That part. ☝️
Yup. And seniors carried his election. That is senior power and he will regret it.

iwsswims.bsky.social•15 days ago

Actually the largest % of people that voted for Trump fall in the 45-65 age range. 34% vs 28% over the age of 65.

mimisf.bsky.social•15 days ago

But I've seen your numbers, too. The thing is, older voters vote more. And we've seen this.

iwsswims.bsky.social•15 days ago

But that wasn’t your post. You were holding seniors responsible. If you want to point fingers point at Democrats for not putting up a strong. candidate against Trump.

mimisf.bsky.social•15 days ago

No no no! You took it a different way. Did you read the post I was replying to? I was talking about how seniors have a lot of power to take this administration on. I wasn't blaming them for whomever they vote for. And then you posted demos, and I wanted to find some, too. Read the post before.

gemini21.bsky.social•15 days ago

Who would you have put in place of Harris?

mimisf.bsky.social•15 days ago

Just a couple of my resources 1/2:
https://www.aarp.org/politics-society/government-elections/info-2024/election-analysis-older-voters.html

iwsswims.bsky.social•15 days ago

You literally just posted what I said. 50 year olds are not considered seniors and their % of votes for Trump is still higher than the 65 plus, which are seniors that have reached retirement and Social Security and Medicare age.

gemini21.bsky.social•15 days ago

I hope so
We need every voter of every generation to stop this madness

mimisf.bsky.social•15 days ago

And every generation has their bones to pick. For example, the young and climate change. I think we're gonna have some more Greta Thunbergs.

gemini21.bsky.social•15 days ago

Agreed
The older generations tend to be more moderate

sdunder.bsky.social•15 days ago

The world should abandon us to our own misery. We did this to ourselves.

mimisf.bsky.social•15 days ago

We, the People, are not the government. Otherwise...

mimisf.bsky.social•15 days ago

That "we" is the government, not "we, the People" who have lost to the government. The world knows this is Trump and his team.
