[misinformation 🚨see body text] when im in a kill both your own constituents and children overseas competition against rafael edward cruz 😨😰😨

As comments quickly pointed out, there is no evidence of this $250b number. The account that posted this deleted it presumably because it’s a lie.

The most recent similar proposed legislation was in May 2024 and was indeed supported by Ted Cruz. While not specified explicitly, my understanding is that the total value of this would be around $15b but it has not passed.

$3b did pass via the FY 2025 omnibus and a further ~$12b of value provided via executive orders with Trump and Marco Rubio.

I was thinking about deleting this post but I also want to own up to my mistake. I fell for bait while browsing memes, failing to critically think about the numbers involved. Thanks all who keep each other accountable I feel it’s an important lesson.

The Trump administration has made drastic cuts to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) that threaten to impact weather forecasting (headline from four months ago)
  • yes. class consciousness is the most effective defense in culture war. it doesn’t mean ignoring it, of course.

    i would never and have never advocated for ignoring the material, social, or policy conditions that fall under the umbrella of “culture war.” and yet that’s something you made up and forced upon me with no evidence, argument, or logic. just emotions.

    check out this thread because i am done feeding this emotional energy. https://lemmy.cafe/post/19968013/12353527 notice how the conversation exactly matches all of my positive care for people living under oppression and in no way reflects your made-up men of straw about “ignoring the culture war and trans people.”

    and notice how other people in the thread are understanding, asking questions, and not calling names when there is confusion.

    e; typo there was a random “your” in there my fault

  • The Trump administration has made drastic cuts to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) that threaten to impact weather forecasting (headline from four months ago)
  • Southerners are fully capable of making informed decisions, and at some point you just stop having sympathy for the ones who could choose to be better but don’t.

    There’s another confusion! I don’t know where you got the idea that this post was about sympathy for bad people when explicitly it talks about good people in the post. Super important! This is about solidarity across class lines. I would never and have never denied this and all of my comments here reflect that.

    edit: seems like some people interpret “full of” as a mathematical majority which, while it may or might not be true instance to instance, isn’t my intent in posting

    feel free to swap in “has a lot of” if that’s more familiar language to you :)

    rule [i might? be spreading misinformation online]

    idk if the “lie” claim is the best language they could have used since there seems to be a few sources supporting it https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_of_Winnie-the-Pooh_in_China

    that said, obligatory fuck tankies but this is a good meme and fuck ICE.

    EDIT CONTEXT: https://www.snopes.com/news/2025/06/25/norwegian-tourist-jd-vance-meme/

    ICE and CBP claim the guy was denied entry for drug use. I don’t fucking believe them personally after stories like Khaby Lame essentially being forced to self-deport after some racist MAGA kid decided personally getting him deported was a good move.

    But u know we all about honesty in this joint so

    no discourse in the comments please the answer to the discourse has already been solved by the vast majority of pride events like a decade and a half ago

    click to view

    def informed_consent(event): if event.is18plus: event.communicate_to_participants(“Event is 18+.”)
