Once upon a time, there was a President who wanted to be a dictator.
He wanted civil unrest but people stayed peaceful.
So, he broke the system, cut off food benefits to 42 million people, expecting people to get violent and break laws, so that he could declare martial law. That way he could shut down elections.
But the people stayed peaceful. Neighbors helped neighbors and they kept fighting against his takeover until they kicked him out.

Forty-two million Americans rely on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which could soon run out of funds.
Meanwhile, a petulant commander-in-thief is traveling to Asia, probably to spend time on some golf course.

This is, of course, as illegal as fuck.
Helpfully, the Treasury Department has deleted a webpage that points out it's been against the law since 1866 to mint U.S. coins with a living person's picture on them.
The rendering of the coin shows Trump in profile on the front, or obverse, side. On the reverse is an image of Trump raising a fist, with an American flag waving in the background, beneath the words "FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT." The pose seems to invoke the scene of July 13, 2024, when Trump, then a candidate, was shot in the ear at a political rally in Pennsylvania:

"As a practical matter, the US government has been 'shut down' for more than eight months, since Trump took office this second time.
"Democrats finally have some bargaining leverage. They should use it." — @rbreich

Amy Remeikis powerful piece has been taken down but because it is so powerful I’m tooting a link to it. If you believe that life is for every individual, then do yourself a favour and read it too
@RaymondPierreL3@aus.social Thank you for posting this. I feel gyped that my #RSS feedreader did not get me the original before it vanished. Who took it offline? On what basis? Surely TND did not succumb to Merkan micro-penii thugs, did they?
