Indigeneity, Project 2025, and Social Security

This affects all Americans.

If you're in the US, you should be aware that the incoming Trump administration plan is to shut down Social Security which includes SSDI ("disability") / SSI ("welfare"), Medicare / Medicaid, along with shutting down EBT / SNAP ("food stamps").

This will also disband Tribes and take our remaining homelands. This is the Termination Era coming back.

A Trump win seems likely because of the cult of personality surrounding him, and his voter base is completely unaware of his policies.

A lot of them have already voted early for him having no idea that they just voted to end their own healthcare, financial and food assistance in the coming year.

I don't have much good to say about Kamala Harris because I know her record on Native issues (including writing 15+ letters to the BIA that denied treaty-owed funds to Tribes for water treatment and housing), but

when Harris loses, which seems likely, a lot of vulnerable people are at risk in the next year.

Insulin rationing is already happening to Americans (there's a common lie that "insulin was capped at $35!" when that only applies to seniors on a specific Medicare plan, which is going away) even with the bare minimum social safety net that is Social Security / Medicare / Medicaid.

People are already going hungry even with SNAP / EBT food cards.

If you know anyone who relies on Social Security, or is "on disability" SSDI, or lives in poverty "on welfare" SSI, or needs Medicare or Medicaid for their healthcare and prescriptions, be very aware that you might see scary things happen in 2025, as part of "Project 2025".

This plan has been in the works for years and includes every kind of underhanded lying you can imagine.

Project 2025 has had a fake website with AI generated Native people declaring their love for Trump and the Project up for about a year:

Zoom in on the hand and the strange sign sign meme text.

None of these people have names. They don't exist.

This is a project that includes disbanding our remaining Tribes, taking our remaining land and selling it to the highest international bidder. The plan includes doing the same to all "federal land", like National Parks which Trump began doing in 2016 with Bears Ears National Monument.

The "community-based self-reflection on how we identify as Native people of the United States" is a return of the Termination Era, where all Tribes are disbanded and we "become Americans" or cease to exist as Native people. Our nations are older than the US. The Trump administration has no right to force yet another assimilation policy on us.

This is a land grab, a theft of public resources, and will rob from the poorest people in the US including your neighbors.

This will affect everyone, Native or not.

I don't have any solution. This is just a warning. The rabidly ignorant fanatics who vote just to see you "lose" like it's all just sports betting won't be convinced to do anything different.

Kamala Harris is an enemy of Indigenous sovereignty.

Kamala Harris sent 15 (that we know of, likely more) objection letters fighting tribes' efforts to build water treatment plants and housing on tribal land.

American Indian tribes are being told California Gov. Jerry Brown will monitor what has been a series of letters from Attorney General (AG) Kamala Harris objecting to federal land/trust applications for housing, water treatment plants and other largely non-casino purposes.

Brown and outgoing senior aide Jacob Appelsmith both told tribes they were unaware Harris’ office had sent at least 15 land/trust objection letters to the BIA since Brown took office in 2010.

This may at least partially explain why Brown has worked cooperatively with Indian tribes on tribal-state compacts and other matters while the AG’s office has been rejecting land/trust applications on legal grounds that leave Indian law scholars shaking their heads in dismay.

She is an actual officer and is probably on duty while being that unstable. People asked a PD in the wrong state about her because it had the same county name.

And she was never concerned about the safety of her food. Her meltdown was strictly because her McMuffin was late.

She said she called in her order ahead of time and planned to pick it up. It would have been made without her seeing it and she would have been fine with that. After her order was late she flipped out and didn’t want it.

She’s also exaggerating. She says they told her to pull ahead, and she then “waited and waited and waited and then I pulled ahead”. She’s nonsensically inserting even more waiting into her story.

She’s going to get some McDonald’s employees in trouble because she had to wait 6 minutes.

fuckin karen cop crying about her being scared that mcdonalds employees were poisoning her fucking mcmuffin because they took too long making it during breakfast rush hour give me a fuckin break
