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.

Sitting back here as a Canadian and wondering wtf is wrong with Americans. This okay for most of you? Cause this mf and his minions need justice dealt swift and furiously like NOW. Do you need Canadians to teach you how to circumvent the Geneva Convention or something to get the job done? Jfc unbelievable.

It’s not okay for most of us. We’re trying to fix this but realistically it will take some time. And pain.

That's not true, most of you voted for this or approved of it by not voting. That's not to say all of you. There are millions of Americans against this and we support you, but the problem is that the majority are, well, fucked. That's what needs to be addressed.

[–] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

There are tons of people who both "voted for this" and are not doing okay.

They did the fucking around. Now they're finding out. (Or not. In which case they're still suffering, they're just too brainwashed and/or ignorant to appropriately assign blame.)

Which means that in a way, you're both right. But whatmeworry's point that this will take time can't be understated. It's frustrating how many people are complaining about the speed of this all, as if similar events in the past didn't take years to resolve. It's exhausting to be suffering under fascists, attempting to foster local community (in a strongly "individualist" society) in order to have strength against said fascists (especially as someone with social anxiety), and then coming online to read the opinions of ignorant outsiders bitching that we haven't yet overthrown a billionaire-driven, military-backed, surveillance-owning government that possesses a band of legal kidnappers.

I mean, hot damn, just because it takes minutes to read a synopsis about historical revolutions doesn't mean those revolutions occurred within minutes.

Are you under the impression that this started with Trump? It didn't.

[–] QuarterSwede@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

They want riots so they can take control of the cities. We’ve already started voting these clowns out. How would you address this as a lone citizen?

[–] FosterMolasses@leminal.space 1 points 5 days ago

Seriously, it's goddamn shameful, and painful to watch.
