In Trump's Fascist America: Big Brother is Watching

ICE Gets Access To Medicaid Records So It Can Deport People For ER Visits - Wonkette Saves them the trouble of asking 'Papers, please!'

Donald Trump and Stephen Miller’s ethnic cleansing program gained a new tool this week with an agreement between the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and the Department of Homeland Security to hand over the personal data of all 79 million people enrolled in Medicaid, the AP reports. The move, which hasn’t been publicly announced by the administration because it’s none of Americans’ business what the government does, includes patients’ home addresses and ethnicity, making it easier for ICE to find “the location of aliens” who have received healthcare benefits, so they can be rounded up and deported.

Trump Administration Prepares to Drop Seven Major Housing Discrimination Cases - ProPublica

Federal housing officials spent years investigating cities from Chicago to Memphis to Corpus Christi for putting industrial plants and unwanted facilities in poor, nonwhite neighborhoods. Now, under Trump, the agency plans to drop the cases.

Opinion: Why Republicans worship Trump as their sick and twisted role model by Thom Hartmann - Alternet

... the fetal personhood movement backed by Trump and Vance is becoming mainstream. As vice president, J.D. Vance spoke at the 2025 March for Life rally, declaring “I want more babies in the United States of America” and aligned himself with the GOP’s agenda of fetal personhood, a policy that could make IVF, contraception, and even most miscarriage treatment illegal.

This is a deliberate, systemic reinforcement of toxic masculinity, an ideology of power, control, and domination.

The Trump administration is doing an outstanding job of obliterating every last shred of affirmative action and diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts. But they can’t do it alone.

Government surveillance.
Government intrusion.
Government taking freedoms.

They still think they are immune. They still think they are in the FA phase and don't realize it is actually FAFO.

This will begin to test the cynical notion that as long as black and brown people suffer more than poor whites, the MAGAts will remain happy.

They have scapegoated poor black and brown mothers as welfare cheats since Raygun. They think that those will be the only targets. Just wait until they start kicking old people off Medicaid, and grampa billy can't stay in the nursing home anymore.

The Uber rich have done a great job of getting poor purposefully undereducated whites to fight a race war instead of a class war. Because it is definitely the top five percent of wealthy that are the real welfare cheats. Corporate welfare the one side and no personal taxes on the other.
