Call it what it is--genocide by non-military means

My congressperson, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, has stated that the current reconcilation bill, if passed, will not only force millions of people off of Medicaid--it will also prohibit them from applying for coverage by the Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare"). Apparently, people who are poor (and especially those with pre-existing conditions) and are on Medicaid because they can't afford any other insurance (and/or aren't eligible for any other insurance) are just going to be left to die so that rich people can get more tax breaks. 😡 In addition, people who are poor are going to be deprived of food assistance--Congress is trying to cut down on SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) and WIC (Women, Infants, and Children) benefits. The Trump regime and the Republican Party are trying to do to the poor of the United States exactly what they did to the poor of Africa by terminating the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) --kill them by taking away their health care and food. You don't need bombs, weapons, or concentration camps to commit genocide against the poor. I've already written to my senators, and hope you will also do so. This is not the time for "thoughts and prayers"--this is the time to "get in good trouble," to quote the late Representative John Lewis. I hope I'll see many folks from the New York City metropolitan area at the June 14th NO KINGS protest at Bryant Park.
