"Six years after the GAO first analyzed low-wage workers’ use of #Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (#SNAP), the report found that the number of #Amazon employees who required federal assistance has nearly tripled since 2020, despite the fact that the e-commerce giant has increased its annual profits from $11.59 billion to $77.67 billion in that time." https://www.commondreams.org/news/walmart-workers-on-snap

'Starvation Wages' at Giant US Corporations Force Workers to Seek Taxpayer-Funded Aid | Common Dreams

US Sen. Bernie Sanders exposes the shocking truth: Amazon and Walmart employees rely on federal aid due to poverty wages, while CEOs rake in billions. Should taxpayers subsidize corporate greed? Join the fight for fair wages and an end to corporate welfare. #FightFor15 #EndCorporateGreed

OMG STAHP!!! Sarah Suckabee Sanders (as Arkansas resisters call her) put out an ad showing a young WHITE man allegedly abusing welfare and MAGA is losing it. Young white men have already mostly left MAGA, but there go the rest of them. 🤣 https://www.yahoo.com/news/politics/articles/maga-furious-over-republican-ad-151555302.html#Arkansas #MAGA #SNAP

this is what an unwanted secession, forced by law and federal funding cuts, looks like: ❝ Starting October 1, the federal government will cover only 25% of state and local administrative costs for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, down from the 50% match it has provided for years.❞ » Westchester Food Banks Warn $168M SNAP Cost Shift Will Empty Shelves https://hoodline.com/2026/09/westchester-food-banks-warn-168m-snap-cost-shift-will-empty-shelves/ #NYS #LawFedi #USpol #SNAP #USCivilWar2

Trump-shaped ecstasy pills can be fatal, Dutch drug institute warns - I’d 🤣 but…turns out it’s not just pills. #TrumpRegime policies can be and often ARE fatal. Think #ICE murders of citizens, #DOGE cuts that have killed thousands, #SNAP reductions, and of course, the #HHS public health policies of brainwork #RFKjr. FFS, kids are dying of measles, after it was once eliminated. Next, the #repubilcans are going to go after #Medicare and #SocialSecurity. Cruelty IS the point with #Trump. https://www.politico.eu/article/donald-trump-shaped-ecstasy-pills-can-be-fatal-dutch-drug-institute-warns/

Digitale Unabhängigkeit endet nicht bei Windows: TUXEDO steigt aus bei Ubuntu Windows verlassen reicht nicht für digitale Unabhängigkeit. Der deutsche Hersteller TUXEDO Computers kehrt sogar Ubuntu den Rücken, weil Canonical mit dem Snap-Zwang eine neue Zentralisierungsfalle baut, und wechselt TUXEDO OS auf Debian. Die Beta gibt es noch nicht, was das für dein Gerät bedeutet. Reden wir drüber! https://www.chrislo.de/blog/2026-07-12-07-18-25-digitale-unabhaengigkeit-endet-nicht-bei-windows-tuxedo-steigt-aus-bei-ubuntu/ @tuxedocomputers@linuxrocks.online#chrislo #DigitaleUnabhängigkeit #LinuxUmstieg #TUXEDO #Ubuntu #Debian #Canonical #Snap #Flatpak #OpenSource #KDEPlasma

#Trump and his #Republican enablers couldn’t get rid of the very popular #ObamaCare health insurance subsidies that at least made access to #HealthCare affordable. So they’ve made it unaffordable for most with recent rate hikes - and more on the way. The #TrumpRegime is killing the middle class with a thousand cuts. They’ve cut #SNAP, made #Medicaid more restrictive; they’ve cut grants essential to maintaining the #SafetyNet and prices for virtually everything have gone up under this administration. The #Affordability crisis promises to trash whatever is left of the #AmericanDream. The ONLY way we can stop this cruel and vindictive madness is to vote all the bastards out. If you value your rights, your health, your children and your future PLEASE VOTE!! #USPol #USPolitics

"...at its core is a seismic shift: extending roughly $4.5 trillion in tax cuts disproportionately benefiting corporations and the wealthy over 10 years while cutting about $1.1 trillion from healthcare and food assistance programs serving poor and working-class people. It ultimately adds a projected $4.7 trillion to the national debt over the next decade." https://www.nbcnews.com/specials/trump-big-beautiful-bill-act-tax-medicaid-snap-one-year/#healthcare #hospitals #medicaid #PublicHealth #SNAP #hunger #FoodInsecurity #immigration #ICE #taxes #USpol

How Trump’s ‘big, beautiful bill’ changed America

President Donald Trump signed his “big, beautiful bill” a year ago. It unleashed the biggest ever rollback of federal programs serving the poor, while extending trillions of dollars in tax breaks disproportionately benefiting the rich.
