A new parliamentary report has exposed the brutal expulsion of San communities from an Omaheke Region resettlement farm allocated to them by government, with individuals from other.
on the government for health care and basic nutrition. that s the focus of a piece from the new york times editorial board member, david firestone. he notes that the bill that speaker kevin mccarthy muscled through the house last month would impose tough, new work requirements on medicaid, food stamps and welfare for needy families. he goes on to write, it s not that there s some crisis or scandal gripping those federal programs. republicans are making these demands simply because the debt ceiling gives them the opportunity to do so. they are going after the same group of people their party has demonized for decades. firestone states, these largely racist attacks, very much including the one now on the table, ignore the little-mentioned fact that the vast majority of the people receiving these benefits are already working or unable to work. he concludes that president biden needs to make it clear that these benefits are
