One in five American children (citizens of the richest empire in human history) subsist below the poverty line. Two and a half million have no home at all. Not because they failed, but because their “betters” did. Over eighty percent of food stamps distributed through SNAP go to households containing children, the elderly, or the disabled. More than half of all recipients are children. In any given month, nearly forty percent of the nation’s youth and one in eight senior citizens rely on welfare to eat. The beneficiaries, then, are not the indolent and undeserving of conservative mythology, but the defenseless at either end of life’s ledger: the very young and the very old…. part one: 10 effective things citizens can do to make change in addition to attending a protest *bio: Shelley Inglis is a Senior Visiting Scholar at the Center for the Study of Genocide and Human Rights (CGHR) at Rutgers University.* Until July 1, 2025, she was a Senior Policy Advisor with the Democracy, Human Rights, and Governance Bureau of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). *part two: on the shut down, on Zoran, the election in Ireland* John Nichols is the executive editor of *The Nation* Listen anytime to the podcast at www.podomatic.com/podcasts/staff74238 <www.podomatic.com/podcasts/staff74238> podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/attitude-with-arnie-arnesen/id1634055179 tunein.com/podcasts/News–Politics-Podcasts/Attitude-with-Arnie- <tunein.com/podcasts/News–Politics-Podcasts/Attitude-with-Arnie-Arnesen-p1711842/> Arnesen-p1711842/ <tunein.com/podcasts/News–Politics-Podcasts/Attitude-with-Arnie-Arnesen-p1711842/> Attitude with Arnie Arnesen, snap benefits, Shelley Inglis, Rutgers, protest, making change, John Nichols, The Nation, Zohran, Ireland, elections, Trump *KEEPING THE POT STIRRED SO SCUM DOESN’T RISE TO THE TOP* – Anonymous *D.

Trump just stopped it in its tracks. Part two: Race Class with Professor Jonathan Feingold returns Ep. 42 | Trump’s Racism is Ends and Means In this episode, Arnie and Jon discuss how the Trump regime sees racism as both an end goal and a means to realize a whole slew of fascist desires. As to the end, we are witnessing an unrelenting campaign to entrench a racial order defined by white supremacist ideals that trace to antebellum America. The erection of confederate monuments, the erasure of Black history, the claim that “race is biological,” and the lawless kidnapping of people of color all serve this agenda. But Trump is also wielding racism to discredit political opponents, defund public education and redirect billions of dollars to allies – all in the service of Trump-style grift and a fascist politics designed to crush our communities and concentrate power in the privileged few. –Listen anytime to the podcast at www.podomatic.com/podcasts/staff74238 <www.podomatic.com/podcasts/staff74238> podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/attitude-with-arnie-arnesen/id1634055179 tunein.com/podcasts/News–Politics-Podcasts/Attitude-with-Arnie- <tunein.com/podcasts/News–Politics-Podcasts/Attitude-with-Arnie-Arnesen-p1711842/> Arnesen-p1711842/ <tunein.com/podcasts/News–Politics-Podcasts/Attitude-with-Arnie-Arnesen-p1711842/>Attitude with Arnie Arnesen, Reuters, Valerie Zink, Gaza, Ryan Cooper, The American Prospect, Wind energy, Trump, BU Law, Jonathan Feingold, Race Class

In the words of the press release that accompanied the Gallup poll <news.gallup.com/poll/692522/surge-concern-immigration-abated.aspx> released last Friday, “a record-high 79 percent of U.S. adults say immigration is a good thing for the country.” Despite years of Goebbels-esque xenophobic and Great Replacement propaganda from right-wing social media, the Murdoch network, and MAGA politicos, nothing has propelled Americans into a pro-immigrant posture like Stephen Miller’s orgy of deportations… harold meyerson the american prospect part one: Anders Croy Communications Director for Florida Watch and the DeSantis Watch accountability project topics: Alligator Alcatraz firm donated to Florida GOP before getting a contract The Texas-based company donated $10k to the Republican Party of Florida in June.

- Peter Greene|Tim Noah[image: image.png] opening thoughts my facebook post and then a story from yesterday: Time to ask the Question who do you fear? Immigrants who repair your roofs, pick your lettuce and work in your nursing homes, clean your restaurants, work on your oil rigs, care for your kids (got a nanny in your life) pay into social security to the tune of billions and get NOTHING back, stabilize struggling communities that are losing populations and essential workers OR the Millionaires and Billionaires who pay next to nothing in taxes (don’t even get me started about the pass they get on paying social security) while they bust your unions and underpay you for the work you do to make them F..Kin rich, buy up all the housing stock and then screw you with the rent, monopolize all the goods you need to buy so not only are you denied choice but the crap you buy cost a pretty penny, buy and sell the politicians that write the laws to protect their massive wealth driving up the deficit and then demand that your medicaid and SNAP benefits should get cut and YOUR public school dollars should pay for their kid to go to some exclusive prep school …. I could go on but boy have we been manipulated and played and now on top of all of this Trump wants to take away your rights from muzzling the media to protesting in the streets to exercising the franchise WAKE UP…Perspective is everything and the rich have worked overtime at averting our eyes PS actually the murders and robbers are the billionaires-the cuts they demand in govt programs are going to kill tens of thousands of Americans and they have robbed this country blind by demanding tax cuts and then sucking off the government teat with their federal contracts and sweet heart deals Trump reverses himself on deportation sorta Amid escalating immigration enforcement and business backlash, President Donald Trump has said his administration is drafting a temporary pass system for undocumented workers in agriculture and hospitality sectors hit hard by labour shortages. The plan would give farmers limited oversight while maintaining Trump’s broader push to deport illegal immigrants. part one: education vouchers funding and AI in public schools Peter Greene spent 39 years as a high school English teacher in small town Western Pennsylvania.

But the far bigger menace is the monstrous growth in wealth concentration over five decades that made a Trump presidency possible—and maybe inevitable.

- John Nichols|Zachary Schulz[image: image.png] Opening thoughts: There is no “one and done” in any conflict. The opponent always gets a vote, and unless we’ve prepped for all the things Iran may do we’re gonna have some surprises. If Trump thinks this is one and done he is fooling himself. This war has only just begun. part one: Why Bernie Sanders Says It’s Critical to Elect Mamdani and Reject Cuomo Speaking to The Nation, the senator hails the “grassroots movement supporting Zohran” as a vital alternative to “the billionaire establishment supporting Cuomo.” www.thenation.com/article/politics/bernie-sanders-zohran-mamdani-endorsement-interview/ bio: John Nichols is a national affairs correspondent for *The Nation*. part two: US health care is rife with high costs and deep inequities, and that’s no accident A public health historian explains how the system was shaped to serve profit and politicians bio: Zachary W.

- Harvey Kronberg|Bill Curry|Susan Milligan[image: image.png] opening thoughts…Juneteenth from the Houston Chronicle. The mood of the nation is different now than it was when Juneteenth became our newest federal holiday <www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/article/juneteenth-houston-galveston-19511233.php> in 2021. Even with the cheeky Walmart products <www.cnn.com/2022/05/24/business-food/walmart-juneteenth-ice-cream> and other commercial exploits of the holiday, it seemed that there was an openness, at least, for more people to learn what this freedom day meant for America. Juneteenth commemorates June 19, 1865, when the last enslaved Americans, who were mostly in Texas, were notified of their freedom two years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. Liberation didn’t come neatly in one day. The news traveled slowly and was often met with violent resistance. part one: all things Texas a conversation with the publisher of the Quorum Report Harvey Kronberg topics: juneteenth Elon Musk from Space X to Tesla self driving cars Ted Cruz and Tucker Carlson Lt Gov Patrick and THC part two: *Susan Milligan* is a political writer and former White House and congressional correspondent for the Boston Globe, U.S. News and World Report, and the New York Daily News.
