Thank you! You are indeed correct and I have updated the post.

As comments quickly pointed out, there is no evidence of this $250b number. The account that posted this deleted it presumably because it’s a lie.

The most recent similar proposed legislation was in May 2024 and was indeed supported by Ted Cruz. While not specified explicitly, my understanding is that the total value of this would be around $15b but it has not passed.
$3b did pass via the FY 2025 omnibus and a further ~$12b of value provided via executive orders with Trump and Marco Rubio.
I was thinking about deleting this post but I also want to own up to my mistake. I fell for bait while browsing memes, failing to critically think about the numbers involved. Thanks all who keep each other accountable I feel it’s an important lesson.
i feel like you skip every fourth word when reading my comments but i’m not too bothered because at least you are correct lol
Slaveholders’ crimes were downplayed and the history of the Confederacy rewritten to appear noble and unrelated to slavery. Some slaveholders were even compensated financially for the freeing of their slaves, while no freed people were compensated, ever.

no
i guess maybe you were meaning “that’s what we did” as advocating for slaveholder punishment where i interpreted it as actually doing it
either u are being sarcastic or u 180 degree misinterpreted my comment, we are saying the same thing? /confused
~~Not even true lol~~ (You were alive immediately after the civil war wow!) Yeah and sadly slave owners literally received reparations when there should have been Nurembergs.
I adovacte for their survival, recovery, repentance, and penance in proportion to the weight of their crimes.
It definitely does suck very incredibly bad. I think there are things non-Southerners can do to help too of course but it’s more indirect.
honestly very correct. someone else pointed out that even the worst of us states were only 70/30 maga.
call me a bleeding heart lib but i don’t celebrate the suffering of 10 people just because 7 of them asked for it. 🙃

edit: seems like some people interpret “full of” as a mathematical majority which, while it may or might not be true instance to instance, isn’t my intent in posting
feel free to swap in “has a lot of” if that’s more familiar language to you :)
idk if the “lie” claim is the best language they could have used since there seems to be a few sources supporting it https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_of_Winnie-the-Pooh_in_China
that said, obligatory fuck tankies but this is a good meme and fuck ICE.
EDIT CONTEXT: https://www.snopes.com/news/2025/06/25/norwegian-tourist-jd-vance-meme/
ICE and CBP claim the guy was denied entry for drug use. I don’t fucking believe them personally after stories like Khaby Lame essentially being forced to self-deport after some racist MAGA kid decided personally getting him deported was a good move.
But u know we all about honesty in this joint so
no discourse in the comments please the answer to the discourse has already been solved by the vast majority of pride events like a decade and a half ago
