Income verification for free lunch? Come on!

They’re going to make violence inevitable because for some reason, it’s the only thing they understand or hear

Yep. And for those thinking they mainly buy American, even if items are "made" here, the raw materials are likely sourced worldwide.

And a lot of our food. Including food that is grown here and shipped overseas for processing and then shipped back.

Note that "non-citizens" includes permanent green card holders who are here *legally* in the long term. I'm sure they will try and say it's about migrant workers, but it would include anyone married to a U.S. citizen who hasn't obtained citizenship...which could impact the citizen's ability

to get benefits too.

Is that actually how the thing is phrased or just how somebody summarized it? (Real question.)

ninjafingers.bsky.social•71 days ago

Summary. I haven't personally had chance to read/analyze yet.

ninjafingers.bsky.social•71 days ago

And now I can't find it.

Well how and the hell do you expect the shrunk up ball sack to pay for all of those tax breaks to his oligarch screen scratchers

All this has to be passed by Congress. Even many Republicans there will see how this will harm their constituents. Though I guess the Trump cabal uses threats to get compliance.

I am really sick and tired of white people thinking other white people are decent people with empathy and simply responding to being threatened. IF WP WERE DECENT, WE WOULDN'T HAVE TRUMP IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Republicans will always cave. They never govern for their constituents. And their constituents never punish them.

I don't think they care about politics or optics at all. I think the mask is off, and we are at the billionaires looting the system stage of things.

Lynne are you new to American politics? Republicans don't care if something they vote for hurts Americans. I don't know how they keep getting re-elected.

yourneighbor57.bsky.social•71 days ago

Am I new? Hell no! Which is why I'm pushing the idea of constituent organizing. This "nothing will work, you're stupid for suggesting it" attitude is how we fail.
