THIS is what courage looks like.Today, striking farmworkers bravely stood in front of cameras, the community, and the press, risking their jobs, safety, and future. To speak the truth. About the stolen wages. About the years of being unheard.
This is a movement. And today was a turning point.

What’s outrageous is pretending this cruelty is necessary. What’s inappropriate is defending it while our communities suffer.

We don’t need more masked men in tactical gear, we need humanity.

I had that exact realization yesterday. I haven’t been low-key depressed; I miss swimming in the summer!

When you jam your bill through overnight…

When you are forced to cancel town halls…

When you need to wear masks to hide your actions…

You know the people aren’t on your sideβ€”and now, you’ve lost us forever.

We will remember this day. We will remember your names. We will remember you as traitors.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Yes, calling your Members of Congress still matters.

Tell your GOP representative to vote NO on Trump’s Tax Scam: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

Or send an email if you can’t get anyone on the phone: act.indivisible.org/sign/no-cutt...

Republicans must be held accountable for every single person turned away from life-saving healthcare, every hungry child, and every struggling family. We will not let them hide away from this disastrous scam.

The Conservative Attack on Empathy Sometimes emotions are the voice of one’s conscience, and shouldn’t be ignored.

β€œThe toxic-empathy rhetorical framework, built for producing peace of mind for conservative debaters, threatens to render Christians insensitive to moral demands of Christianity that run contrary to conservative preferences,” Elizabeth Bruenig writes:

In classic Republican fashionβ€”they've found a way to make their "Big Beautiful Bill" even worse.

More cuts to health care.
More money added to the debt.
More Americans suffer.

Get this: Republicans voted NO to protect Medicaid funding for addiction treatment.

If you’re battling addiction, Republicans are happy to throw you under the bus in order to give a billionaire another tax break.

It’s shameful.

Republicans just voted to DEFUND health clinics and deny women basic health care.

@murray.senate.gov forced a vote to try and protect that critical funding.

Republicans voted NO.

According to the latest estimate, Republicans' megabill could cost 20 million Americans their health insurance, including as many as 900,000 Virginians.

Thank you to the Senate for reading the bill aloud so the American people can hear exactly how it will affect their lives.

And ICE wonders why ordinary people call them 'brown shirts,' 'goons,' and 'American gestapo.'

Today, we remember Tamir Elijah Rice on what would have been his 23rd birthday.

He was only 12 when his life was taken by a #Cleveland police officer. His killing was one of many that sparked the #BLM Movement.

Masked and unmarked ICE agents (real or fake) are causing fear and chaos in our communities. California legislators have introduced the No Secret Police Act, which would prohibit law enforcement officers from hiding their identities during public operations. Urge your local leaders to act. πŸ‘‡

Trump to strip protections from millions of acres of national forests The Agriculture Department said it would begin the process of rolling back protections for nearly 59 million roadless acres of the National Forest System.

Trump’s decision β€œwill open up vast swaths of largely untouched land to logging and roadbuilding, including about 30% of the land in the National Forest System β€” encompassing 92% of Tongass, one of the last remaining intact temperate rainforests in the world…”
