House Republicans are ripping food from the mouths of children.

This has nothing to do with waste, fraud and abuse.

Cruelty is the point.

Food insecurity is a leading contributor to poor elementary academic performance.

What is the profile of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance (SNAP) recipients?

White 62.7%
Undereducated 62.4%
Underemployed 75.9%

This is also the profile for MAGA. Republicans voted against their own.

I wonder what would happen if we bombarded the Pentagon with emails asking a question:

At what point does the US military doing nothing about a "Domestic Enemy" constitute:
"Dereliction of Duty"?

Indeed, the purpose of Trump 2.0, besides keeping him out of prison.

It's a BANK ROBBERY. Fight harder in the Senate.

Yes, they are! They will make people homeless, hungry, sick, and very Dead where will they turn for help when the only helping hands they have are being taken away from all of us! Trump and his administration are cruel and hateful they are a disgrace to the human race! These are things dictators do

Arrogance and greed is the point, cruelty is how it manifests.
They don’t care about their constituents or that their communities prosper. Just their own bottom.

It is honestly sad and disgraceful that a plea not to take food from America's children is met with such little applause.

When you have one the most corrupt evil and cruel person running the show. Not republicans. You’re going to act likewise to get his attention. Make him something he’s not. A grandiose man being praised daily. If you have ever seen a cabinet meeting. It’s a propaganda event for him. Praise every day!

They just dismantled the NSA in 30 minutes—and the media is still playing both sides. Dems whisper about norms while fascists torch the system. Spoiler: appeasement won’t save you. You’re not safe. None of us are. Wake the hell up.

lilcubbiegal.bsky.social•8 days ago

What does that even mean that “appeasement won’t save you”? I’m sure most of us are fully aware what’s up. But we all need to unite and keep on keeping on. There are milestones where people fought for our freedoms and to preserve our democracy so, it’s our turn now.

megsdad.bsky.social•8 days ago

“Keep on keeping on”? How’s that working out so far?
The NSA just got gutted in 30 minutes. Courts are stacked. Agencies are falling.
Where exactly do you see this unity stopping the slide?
Because from here, it looks like surrender dressed up as optimism.

lilcubbiegal.bsky.social•8 days ago

Keep on keeping on to me is I am going to keep going and do something about it. I will not back down. And no one should.
What do you suggest since you are the one bringing this up? You want people to fear or stand up?

megsdad.bsky.social•8 days ago

I want people to stand up—but standing up means more than vibes, slogans, and social media. It means all Dems pulling their heads out of the sand and actually FIGHTING. It means Americans getting uncomfortable and in the streets. Because comfort is how we got here. Protest or perish.

lilcubbiegal.bsky.social•8 days ago

I don’t do it on social media. I do it outside and the next one is June 14th. And they can only do so much since they are the minority party. Things are happening. Time rise up like nobody’s business and make good and necessary trouble. 😊✌🏼

bellabronza.bsky.social•9 days ago

Well if you talk to them like Jasmine Crocket and AOC you might get somewhere. Nobody wants to hear your strongly worded 3hr slow walking monotone presentation with very little emotion. Your constituents will primary you if they don’t feel like you are fighting hard enough!

lilcubbiegal.bsky.social•8 days ago

Both are awesome. And Congressmen Jeffries is speaking up.

bellabronza.bsky.social•8 days ago

I understand he is speaking up. I agree with you in that regard. We have a problem with the how. Using decorum with a bully when the gloves need to come off is what people are complaining about. Saying please stop, to someone who doesn’t have empathy; when you should punch them back is concerning.

lilcubbiegal.bsky.social•8 days ago

I don’t really pay much attention nor take to heart what others say to be honest. All politicians have different approaches. People need to get over it or don’t. It is what it is. I’m fine the way Congressman Jeffries’ speaks . Just saying

bellabronza.bsky.social•8 days ago

Jeffries may be pissed all the way off inside but he doesn’t express it outwardly.

lilcubbiegal.bsky.social•8 days ago

We don’t know what any of them do behind closed doors do we?
Don’t get me wrong here, like I said AOC ,Jasmine Crocket and Bernie Sanders are great. But they all have different approaches.

bellabronza.bsky.social•8 days ago

I’ve been watching the town halls and all people are yelling is Dems aren’t pissed off enough. But it’s not all Dems. If people want to see pissed off dems they need to watch everyone else but the 10 and Jeffries.

lilcubbiegal.bsky.social•8 days ago

Those are town halls and people should tell it like it is. Not everyone has to yell to get their points across.

bellabronza.bsky.social•8 days ago

Because you are ok with something shouldn’t imply that others should get over their feelings about it when they feel like they just want to see their elected official get pissed and express their pain to the face of tyranny in a way of exposing the truth while laying out the facts is what they ask.

lilcubbiegal.bsky.social•8 days ago
