DHS rescinded millions in prevention grants just months before high-profile political assassinations, leaving schools and local governments struggling to maintain early-warning systems.
From Reagan to the present Republicans and their further right supporters have focused on cutting the costs of serving the needs of people and reducing taxes paid by the wealthy. Slogans like “real men don’t ask for help they help themselves” were just smoke screens to let those in need suffer or fail to get ahead. Add now to this the power of the tech oligarch barons and the tools they have created, like AI and social media, and at last you have real tools for controlling and pillaging the people. The “people” have always been the play thing of the rich and powerful, the tool to be picked up when needed or ignored when it cries out in pain. Give the people sports, gambling, religion, astrology, or whatever distraction works while the real work of wealth creation and power goes on. Now we are exposed to the fact that real violence will be used on anyone who complains, not just people of color, immigrants, those who are different, and those not of the correct political persuasion. We must ask ourselves where we go from here and how do we get to where we long to be.
this was an eye opening, illuminating and very frightening piece about what this vile and criminal tRUMP regime is about....the lie that they keep perpetuating about waste, fraud & abuse, is nothing but a lie....except that they are the ones causing the waste, fraud and abuse to the country.... DHS should be abolished and every member in the tRUMP cabinet and administration should be locked up in prison for the vicious assault of crimes put on the American people and those immigrants coming from other countries (legally or not) trying to find a better life.....they use the false premise of combating crime, when in fact they are the ones committing the crimes with their Gestapo ICE thugs assaulting, kidnapping and jailing innocent people...the safety this country needs is from these criminals that have asserted all the power of government for their own grift and greed......our children are not safe in schools, our citizens are not safe on the streets......there needs to be a serious reckoning to put a stop to this insane criminal failure of a human being in the WH.
Everything this regime does can be categorized as STUPIDITY. Just hard to believe it could be anything else, other than “cruelty is the point.“

Prevention Money which helps provide resources to stop a tragedy before it happens works. Just learned of a situation from 2022 that went un-noticed. Here is link to that article: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/27/nyregion/mass-shooting-prevention.html?unlocked_article_code=1.pU8.4nZF.4_D_W4ZeG_um&smid=url-share
