They didn't "move" people off of food stamps and up into a stable food situation. They kicked them off and moved them down into not being able to afford food. Kicking someone down is a hundred times worse than moving someone up but these assholes pretend it's the same thing.
Rollins: "For those who love work and celebrate work and want people to work and not be on food stamps, it's a pretty big win when we've moved 5 million people off food stamps, y'all."

Why would anyone who thinks AI is so bad that it needs to be identified use a different AI to identify it? The same tech companies that sold the poison are selling the antidote.

If you want to know more about how *legal* immigration for farm workers can actually make them *more* vulnerable to exploitation, abuse, & even trafficking, this linked article from cdmigrante.org is GREAT.
Good thread on how the government’s H2A program turned migrant farmworkers into little more than trafficked slaves, the 2024 reforms that mitigated the abuse, and last year’s Trump directive(see below) that stripped away those reforms. cdmigrante.org/trump-dol-ro...
