'Designed To Enact Suffering'

"Plunging to new lows of 'cartoonish cruelty' in our fascist reality show, MAGA just voted for our 'most deeply immoral piece of legislation,' depriving millions of food and health care as their fuehrer celebrated the launch of a scorched-swamp, mosquito-infested concentration camp - "Let's feed people to alligators!' - to detain millions more for overlooking the paperwork in their search for a better life. And there's merch! Fact: 'Snakes in the Everglades got nothin' on the vermin in our government.'"

"The Senate's barely-there approval - fuck Shady Vance - of Trump's heinous 900-page bill represents the largest transfer of wealth to the rich in U.S. history along with the largest cut to Medicaid and food assistance, all in the obscene name of (partly) funding a $975 billion tax break for the already richest 1%. The bill, 'a tipping point between normality and fascism,' also pours over $170.7 billion into 'a campaign of extermination against immigrants that evokes the greatest human rights atrocities of the past,' funding the hiring of vastly more Nazi thugs to terrorize, humiliate and put in cages millions of brown people who do much of this country's work."
