🧵1/4 The Ohio GOP Budget Bill is as bad as Trump’s. The new budget gives the wealthy a tax break—dropping the top income tax rate from 3.5% to 2.75% and shifting to a flat tax. This means millionaires now pay the same rate as low-income Ohioans. The result? A $1.1 billion hit to public revenue.

We must not throw 16 million low-income and working class Americans off of the health care they have in order to give massive tax breaks to billionaires. That is obscene.

When we cage those fleeing hardship like they are subhuman, our collective consciousness begins to rot. It's a stain on all of us. These are not criminals. They are the hands that build our homes, harvest our food & clean our mess. To strip them of dignity is to strip our society of its soul.

Vaccination schedules on the CDC website have already started changing under RFK Jr. So we published a guide to the evidence-based vaccine recommendations in place *before* all 17 members of the advisory panel were abruptly dismissed by the new admin. www.scientificamerican.com/article/see-... 🧪

Now by my life Old fools are babes again, and must be us’d With checks as flatteries, when they are seen abus’d.

Know Your Rights Information🚨 ICE has been arresting people at immigration court and routine check-ins across the country. If you or a loved one is in this situation, know you still have rights.

We need to start pushing back—legally If they’re masked, unmarked, and flashing Amazon gear, report it for what it is: an attempted kidnapping by law enforcement impersonators. šŸŽ„ Record. šŸ“ Share location. šŸ“ž Call the police. ā€œICE vestā€ is not an ID.

Lack of Medicaid funding doesn't just hurt those who rely on it. It also threatens the very existence of hospitals & doctor's offices that serve entire communities. When they close, EVERYONE suffers - regardless of insurance status. #DontBombMedicaid

Reminder yet again. Criticism of a government or military entity has NOTHING to do with the religion they may claim to represent. Just felt like it needed repeated for those who like to throw slurs around without understanding basic definitions. 😘

Listen to my girl Kate break down what’s really in the so-called ā€œBig Beautiful Billā€ā€”better known as the MAGA Murder Bill. Brutal cuts. Devastating consequences. #DontBombMedicaid

A federal appeals court has ordered the Trump administration to ā€œfacilitate the returnā€ of a 31-year-old Salvadoran man who was deported just minutes after the court had issued an order blocking his removal.

šŸ’° WATCH: ā€œHow is that happening?ā€ šŸ¤·šŸ¼ā€ā™‚ļø @aoc.bsky.social informs a confused RFK Jr. that his own HHS is stuffing the pockets of insurance companies by doubling the rates taxpayers pay them even as they defraud us. šŸ¤”

Thank goodness! Good job Mew York City!!!!

Meanwhile literally no one is surprised that Steven Nazi Miller is profiting off of sending a minority group to concentration camps. I feel so bad for his family who fled Nazi persecution to now watch him become one.

It is far past time to charge them with corruption and impeach them. time.com/6997811/impe...

Florida is building a new migrant detention center nicknamed ā€œAlligator Alcatraz,ā€ converting an airfield deep in the Everglades into one of the Trump administration’s most ominous additions to its immigration crackdown. FDT!

I’m sick of working to try to make ends meet. I’m a teacher with a state health plan. I can’t afford doctors visits for anyone except my kids. Medicaid should be EXPANDED, not cut. If politicians cared about their constituents, they would do for us as they do for the rich. Don’t Bomb Medicaid

This is oligarchy. This is obscene. While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%. End this oligarchy.

Did you know 80 million (1 in 4) Americans rely on Medicaid to stay healthy? The GOP wants to take it away from them. This will mean hospital closures, treatment delays, and longer wait times for EVERYONE. We deserve better than this. #DontBombMedicaid

I wrote about this phenomenon in Millennials ….. a decade ago www.salon.com/2013/10/18/n...

For women in America, while undergoing the crushing loss and physical pain that a miscarriage causes, they are now subject to invasive state sponsored abuse and terror. Welcome to the police state of our wombs. God forbid human rights extend to our entire bodies.

1/3 Hey, we'll take good news where we can get it! šŸ¢āœļø The Senate Parliamentarian says parts of the One Big, Hideous Bill can’t be passed via reconciliation—meaning anti-worker stuff needs 60 votes. A few bullets our fed fam will appreciate 🧵

They are treating people worse than mere numbers, not even bothering to track them once they’re in the system. Unacceptable.

We the people have spoken. Congress must do their job and represent the will of the nation. Say NO to ā€œKingā€ Donakd!

Made this today and it’s sooooo amazing! www.gretchensveganbakery.com/vegan-key-li...

This headline is crazy, but it points out the study from @aoschlies.bsky.social et al. that biotic mCDR techniques like iron fertilization or kelp cultivation could have severe negative consequences for marine ecosystems. The same isn't true for abiotic ones like ocean alkalinity enhancement. 🌊

I am praying this catches on.

Diplomacy is the only avenue to stopping Iran's nuclear program; bombing only incentivizes sprinting toward a nuclear weapon. Experts agree that US & Israeli bombing won’t end the prospect of nuclear weapons in Iran. Instead, they undermine nuclear diplomacy everywhere #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

1/2 Don’t forget: the Senate is entering a ā€œvote-a-ramaā€ā€”a marathon of back-to-back amendment votes tied to the budget reconciliation bill this week, a process that lets major legislation pass with a simple majority and avoid a filibuster. What’s at stake? tinyurl.com/mwdemhb4

Sleeper cells don’t scare Americans who are already aware it’s been here. If you’re only alarmed when they’re foreign, then you aren’t concerned about terrorism, just the religion, race, nationality or political party of the terrorist.

We’re not sure who these armed men are! They show up without uniforms, completely masked, refuse to give ID. They drive regular cars and in cases out of state license plates. The vests that they have on look like they’re from Amazon! Are they bounty hunters?! Are they vigilanties?!
