Alex Lawson: We're outside the Energy & Commerce committee with folks risking arrest to protest the destruction of Medicaid which is what Republicans are doing right now in the committee room.

As the Nazis would say, they’re just doing their job. I think it’s about time that law enforcement protect the people from enemies of the constitution!!
Congress should be forced to have in-depth visits with the variety of people on Medicaid, starting with seniors in skilled nursing facilities, adults in the community, children, and pregnant women. Cannot imagine they would make cuts to Medicaid after that experience.
No they should get the fragmented care they're sentencing others to. They should have to spend time fighting to get Medicaid in the first place and then fighting to keep their coverage.
I agree but these people are evil n just don't care. They will and are sacrificing Americans just so they can give Trump his "promised tax cuts" although never giving the people what he "promised them"! So basically are OUR tax dollars aren't going to be funding any programs that help the people. ☠
MEDICAID IS NOT FREE! You have to meet certain requirements in order to receive MEDICAID! Why not have SOCIAL WORKERS TESTIFY as to the conditions/ criteria THAT MUSt BE MET PRIOR TO RECEIVING MEDICAID! Let’s take away the Republicans & Democrats healthcare/benefits that we the taxpayer pay for,
The officer at the end asking the reporter if they were getting arrested sounded exactly like a server at a larger, rowdy table asking who ordered a soda.
If you march at a busy intersection, use the crosswalk and erupt in thunderous noise as you cross. Then, let cars go, wait for the next signal to erupt again. Repeat
Blocking traffic gives police an excuse to stop you, _and_ letting cars go gets the word out to more happy drivers!
If you are National Guard or Active Duty military and you are being ordered to violate the Constitutional rights of US citizens then this is the number to the GI Rights Hotline. There is support, you don't have to go through with it. tel: 1-877-447-4487
We hear he wanted tanks in the streets for his birthday parade
so like:
• a cardboard tank with lovely comments for him
• lots of lovely tank-tops worn in the streets with fun words for him
• a dirty fish tank with one big orange fish swimming in filth
• gas tank
• 'tank'-ing the economy signs

January 6th, paging January 6th; hypocritical irony is holding on line one.
Report this!
Ghouls.
Death cult!!!
Not in any way, at any time.
The well-being of their victims should, very clearly, very certainly, take priority.
That well-being is attacked with each and every "civil" word to their abusers.
Break yourselves of that illusory immoral habit.
"he threatens to arrest disabled ppl, even the ones in wheelchairs, bc they spoke up for their right to medicaid so, you know, they won't die."
a) the protests are working to make the most vulnerable nervous (keep calling and protesting)
b) they DO NOT want their constituents to realize they are set to cut $880 B from Medicaid and MORE
c) they are at odds with each other
Push Hard Now
Your calculus is now this; it's very simple
Move against the administration
The first ones to do so will be labeled 'courageous' and 'patriotic', while the last ones to do so will be primaried
You are in power, now

Start with conviction; bring a friend, make a plan, make a habit
Say it out loud and say it often:
"This is wrong"
Then,
Insist
Resist
Persist
