US supreme court issues emergency order blocking full Snap food aid payments (www.theguardian.com)

The supreme court has issued an emergency order temporarily blocking full Snap food aid payments.

The high court’s order came after the Trump administration asked a federal appeals court on Friday to block a judge’s order that it distribute November’s full monthly food stamp benefits amid a US federal government shutdown.

After that request to block was denied, the Trump administration turned to the supreme court in a further attempt to block the order to fully fund Snap food aid payments.

The application to stay reads: “If forced to transfer funds to Snap to make full November allotments, there is no means for the government to recoup those expenditures – which is quintessential irreparable harm. Once those payments are made, there is every indication that the States will promptly disburse them. And once disbursed, the government will be un-able to recover any funds. Worse, these harms will only compound if the decision below stands.

42 Million people on the brink of starvation.

We have the food. Our government could remedy this situation easily. It is currently mid-own-goal and If it continues it will radicalized an entire generation against capitalism.

They will not be able to hide the contradictions of capital accumulation from regular ass Americans. It will be obvious, even to those not paying attention that the system is violent and it is violent along class lines most especially.
