Unfortunately Lisa's👇👇 story is going to happen to a lot of Americans now that the Big, Ugly Bill was passed by MAGA Republicans and Trump. 1 and 4 nursing homes will be closing because of this law. It's why we need Republicans to #StopCutsToHealthCare

[Steven Roy Martin @_StevenRMartin]

In my household mom and I both live with rare cancers and our medications cost hundreds of thousands of dollars a year for the rest of our lives. The healthcare cuts will be devastating for families like mine. #StopCutsToHealthcare and let us fight our diseases!

[BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ @mmpadellan]

Tweeps: No one should lose healthcare because of Republican cuts—urban, rural, Democrat, or Republican.

DC advocates are getting arrested to stop this mess!

Can we get 1,000 fast RTs and replies with #StopCutsToHealthCare to amplify their fight?

Please and thank you!🙏💪

[Nick Knudsen 🇺🇸 @NickKnudsenUS]

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

💥 Trump is attacking public schools:
❌ Cutting protections for LGBTQ+ & immigrant students
❌ Slashing funds for disabled & low-income youth
❌ Silencing honest history education
🎓 Public schools need MORE funding, not less. TAKE ACTION ➡️ https://t.co/tigSKyIhkM

As a former educator I know how dangerous the over-policing and militarization of our schools is. This is shameful and unacceptable.

Our kids deserve better, our teachers deserve better, and our schools deserve better.

Watching the Mayor and NYPD take a victory lap today should concern us all. The events of last night were not inevitable and should not be "celebrated"

They were created because the Pres of Columbia escalated a non-violent protest, and the mayor who has yet to say the words Palestine, Gaza or Ceasefire eagerly awaited the invitation. Her decision early on affected the response to CCNY and across the nation.

This was not about how students protested. It was the fact that lifting up the plight of Palestinians makes leaders like the Mayor and others uncomfortable

Other Universities across the country in response to similar protest made space for dialogue around the pain of islamophobia and antisemitism (both have reared their ugly heads), and space for humanity of #BringThemHomeNow and #CeasefireNOW

Instead, here in NYC, a college President and a willing Mayor, responded from day one in ways that only escalated tensions

In several years, we'll look back as we do with history and say how shameful it was. I want to be on the record in real time

[Nina Turner @ninaturner]

We are witnessing the weaponization of law enforcement in New York City under the watch of a Democratic Mayor, Governor, and President—all because these leaders rather defend a genocide over listening to the voices of the people.

It’s wrong.

[Communities United for Police Reform @changethenypd]

🧵NYPD violence is a horrific response to student protests! CPR condemns violent mass arrests & brutalizing of @CityCollegeNY & @Columbia students/faculty and #NYPD’s deployment of dangerous militarized tactics. Full statement by Loyda Colon/@watchthecops: https://t.co/cAwtXeU4ki

[Prison Policy Initiative @PrisonPolicy]

This ain't Texas.

Literally.

If you removed TX and every other Deep South state from the U.S.'s incarceration rates (as we did in this gif), the U.S. would still have an incarceration rate many times higher than other democracies, including those with higher rates of crime.

[Make the Road PA🦋 @MakeTheRoadPA]

Parents like Maria know their kids and our schools best. Billionaires with a financial stake in destroying public schools shouldn’t be driving public policy. #AllEyesOnYass #FundPAPublicSchools

“Schools with the most resources are the safest ones, not the ones with police & metal detectors. It’s past time to take action & listen to youth - look at Chicago & Oakland. We need this federal legislation to pave the way.” - Camilla Vaquero, @MaketheRoadNY

💥HAPPENING NOW: legislators, staff, & community members are on Capitol Hill for a briefing on the #CounselingNotCriminalization in Schools Act with @CPDAction for a screening of 'On These Grounds' & a panel talk on creating safe learning environments where young people thrive.🧵

[Tiffany Cabán @tiffany_caban]

The Mayor is reversing some budget cuts. Our libraries are still closed on weekends. Our schools & students are still suffering. Sanitation services are still reduced & less frequent. No community composting. Those cuts stand. Whose cuts are getting reversed? The NYPD, of course.

[Local Progress @LocalProgress]

Today, 190+ local elected officials across the country released an open letter to the Biden-Harris admin & Congress calling for a ceasefire.

“Leasing inmates” is definitely slavery.

[Interrupting Criminalization @interruptcrim]

Since the start of the pause, Israel has kidnapped almost the same number of Palestinians as they have released.

[Kumar Rao @KumarRaoNYC]

A mega power engaged in state vengeance and ethnic cleansing, paid for with U.S. tax money. People may cruelly and disturbingly support this, but that’s what this is.
