I’d rather share a country with people who crossed oceans to build a life than to live with people who won’t lift a finger to make life better for anyone but themselves
Rev. Dr. Howard-John Wesley: “Charlie Kirk did not deserve to be assassinated. But I’m overwhelmed seeing the flags of the United States of America at half-staff calling this nation to honor and venerate a man who was an unapologetic racist and spent all of his life sowing seeds of division and hate into this land. And hearing people with selective rage who are mad about Charlie Kirk, but didn’t give a damn about Melissa Hortman and her husband when they were shot down in their home, tell me I ought to have compassion for the death of a man who had no respect for my own life. I am sorry, but there’s nowhere in bible where we are taught to honor evil. How you die does not redeem how you lived. You do not become a hero in your death when you are a weapon of the enemy in your life”
the fucked up thing is I’m not on Medicaid, I don’t get snap, so that doesn’t affect me but I still know how detrimental this is bc I actually care about other people. I’m so fucking sick of people not caring about other people
Let’s be clear. As we celebrate July 4th this year, it is not patriotic to throw 16 million Americans off the health care they have. No member of the House who votes today for this disastrous bill should be re-elected.
Senate Republicans just voted to kick 20 million Americans off their health care.
JD Vance thinks that is "minutiae."
Ernst doesn't care because "we're all gonna die."
McConnell says people will "get over it."
Don't EVER let Republicans live this down.
Citizens. I’m going to say it again. This is fascism. MAGA can cry all you want but this is exactly what every fucking dictator in history wanted. Wake the fuck up.
Republicans just pulled an all-nighter to pass a budget that will:
-strip healthcare away from 17 million Americans
-take food assistance away from 3 million Americans
-eliminate school meal access for 18+ million kids
-send energy costs soaring
-add $3.3 trillion to national debt
-substantially raise health care premiums for seniors with ACA coverage
All to give themselves a tax cut. We're witnessing the larger transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in American history. Courtesy of the "party of the working class" in the GOP.
This isn’t over yet. Spread the word.
Republicans' Big, Beautiful Bill would:
— Kick 16 million off their health care
— Close 1 out of 4 nursing homes
— Hike your energy bills
— Add at least $4 trillion to the national debt
It’s a gift to the rich and a disaster for families.
A huge chunk of this country has become completely numb to the fact that we have a truly fucking awful, hateful, bigoted, mean and terrible person in the White House right now.
One who embodies everything tell our children not to be.
