@ViserionRex1 @ItsLovelyLaveau R U Kidding? Comparing the dismantling of a confederate statue (representing SLAVERY & being TRAITORS) to red necks acting a fool on the white house lawn at a party for no good reason. Their dude is power of all 3 branches of gov, No checks & balances. & they’re still not happy

@GeneralMCNews Most people can barely afford groceries & gas, but they bought an island while her family covers up the E files… so relatable!

@Ric_RTP And Pelosi wasn’t even the biggest stock trader - 7 republican congressmen traded more than her - yet everyone focuses on the woman, bc how dare she do a fraction of what they did, how dare she make money?

BREAKING: Trump administration strips Social Security benefits from a Black American cancer patient by claiming that she is “not lawfully present in the U.S.”

This is what Trump’s intentional cruelty looks like in 2026.

Ramona Rakestraw, 59, was born at Parkland Hospital in Dallas in 1966. She has never left Dallas County — not for vacation, not for work, not for anything. And yet somehow, the federal government has decided she is “not lawfully present in the U.S.”

Her crime? Existing while sick.

Rakestraw has battled kidney disease for decades. She endured a transplant. She returned to dialysis. In 2024, she was diagnosed with cancer. Through it all, she survived on Supplemental Security Income — her only source of income — and Medicare Part B.

Then in October, the payments stopped. Why? Because her “immigration status” was suddenly under review.

“I’m not an immigrant,” she said. “I’ve never even left Dallas County — let alone the country.”

Let that sink in. A lifelong Texan. Born in an American hospital. Fighting cancer. Forced to march down to a Social Security office with her birth certificate in hand to prove she belongs in the country where she was born.

And still, she received a letter stating: “We cannot pay you benefits because you are not lawfully present in the U.S.”

This is the human cost of a system so obsessed with rooting out “illegals” that it can’t tell the difference between a Dallas native and a border crossing.

Her Medicare was eventually restored. Her SSI — her only income — was not.

Now she’s appealing, drowning in paperwork while undergoing dialysis and cancer treatment. Sixty days to fight a bureaucratic accusation that should never have happened.

This isn’t about paperwork errors. It’s about a government climate that treats citizenship as suspect and vulnerable Americans as disposable.

Ramona Rakestraw isn’t asking for special treatment. She’s asking for the benefits she’s legally entitled to — the benefits she paid into with a lifetime of perfectly legal existence in this country.

Born in Dallas. Fighting for her life. And now forced to fight her own government just to survive. That’s not just incompetence. That’s a system that’s lost its humanity.

Please like and share this sad story!

@NICKIMINAJ So now you’re just a mouthpiece for Trump. Even though this post completely applies to him. And you’re shilling for Turning point & Erika Kirk - even though her husband called you low class & a terrible influence for the youth.

The Right don’t respect you, or your body of work

@krassenstein It’s a tax on US comsumers and business owners, we aren’t “taking in” they generating revenue from TAX on US CITIZENS

[Ayla Simone @DJAylaSimone]

@RpsAgainstTrump What about Brock Turner, Jesse Butler, Robert Morris - all found guilty of rape, child SA, ect & barely got punished?

It’s typically rich white / religious men & boys who bet they will get off crimes, due to a flawed system vs the Muhammad’s that are here to make a living..

@Actsout @JasonClark829 @RonFilipkowski Alex Padilla works in that same building. He is a US senator of California, it is literally his job to ask questions on behalf of constituents. He was immediately removed and arrested, thrown on the ground.

@Timothy_Bellman @StephenM Like they already have control of the house, senate, executive branch and the Supreme Court, when will it ever be enough? #bullys

[Ayla Simone @DJAylaSimone]

@mjfree It won’t work that way. Ogles wrote it so that it only applies to presidents that served 4 year terms in the past 😑

@cturnbull1968 @catturd2 @Canada The amount of people on this thread that can’t put two brain cells together to conclude that this means higher gas prices 🤡

@RpsAgainstTrump As he literally signed away the writes of women, lgbtq protections, environmental protections, raised drug prices, pardoned 1500 Jan 6 convicts including violent offenders. Give me a break. If you’re going to act like Satan, you should be able to take a little heat

@CollinRugg California pays the most into federal funding in terms of tax revenue. We float the red states, full stop. With 90mph winds the fire fights and the non native water supply was in matched.

I’ve been in or around politics for over a half-century now.

I’ve watched as corporations and the super-rich flooded D.C. with campaign cash and ransacked our system.

It won't be easy, but here’s how we break the corporate oligarchy and return power to the people.

@Drjohba @JDLuckenbach @unusual_whales Considering that Americans are massively laid off who have just as much talent in favor of immigrants that are paid less for the same jobs - don’t you see how this doesn’t exactly line up with the “America First” Vision he campaigned on? Their response is we’re too dumb to hire?
