I feel like millions of Americans losing #foodstamps next month should be a much bigger news story than it is.

Trump administration won’t use contingency fund to pay November food stamp benefits | CNN Politics

The US Department of Agriculture says it will not tap into its $6 billion contingency fund to cover food stamp benefits next month, according to an agency memo obtained by CNN. That means that roughly 42 million Americans will not receive critical food assistance from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, in November, unless the agency shifts its position.

In any other context, imagine hearing about an #adult zip tying #children to each other. No really, what would you call that?

They used #racial ideology to construct a global division of #labor, a massively inequitable global division of #wages, & a global #hierarchy of rights. Racial ideology was promoted so aggressively that it developed its own momentum of #hatred & #violence.

Overcoming #capitalism - in other words, transitioning to a #democratic #socialist #economy - is ultimately necessary to end structural #racism & #imperialist #violence.

#Racism, like #imperialism itself, is not a side-show to #capitalism but a structurally necessary feature of it. It is not a standalone problem that can be addressed with a few #liberal #reforms here & there. It has always been central to capitalism & it remains that way today.

And of course these very same discourses were deployed within the core itself, to justify paying lower #wages to radicalized people, & to deny them equal access to #resources.

... to provide the ideological scaffolding necessary to justify #apocalyptic levels of #exploitation & bloodshed in the periphery.

This was an extraordinarily #violent process, involving #colonization, #dispossession, mass #enslavement, & #genocide.

This is where #imperialism comes in. As Utsa Patnaik puts it, #capitalism requires “an #imperial arrangement” to maintain access to cheap #labor & cheap #nature, and thereby to stabilize accumulation.
