AOC: When you wake up in the morning, you will realize that you voted to defund planned parenthood and take away health care from 13.7 million Americans and when this country wakes up there will be consequences to pay for this

So stop paying your taxes. They are no longer being used for roads, for disaster recovery, for the people, for education, for health, for policing, fire fighting. They are now being used by the new trillionaire class to hire more security companies and militia. Time to withhold your taxes.
The country will never "wake up". In fact, in a few months polls will show that Republicans have successfully convinced 52% of the country that the Medicaid cuts are good. Watch.
Yes! But we needed millions of people in the streets 3 months ago. The hour is late. We're losing ground as the Trump regime takes more power every day.
The military and cops are the only two budget items that received increased funding. The military is being conditioned to shoot Americans; LEOs have advanced weaponry and tanks. "Protest" is viewed as illegal; people are being locked up for real. The regime breaks laws & ignores courts. Not hopeful
I beleive she mentioned it literally as well as figuratively. So both ways are in play. Most people will not realize this went down until one or two months down the line and things in their lives take a dive.
Hakeem, Jeffries said if Monica McKiver got arrested, he would draw the red line lol he’s such a fraud that’s the problem you have a horrible leaders in the Senate and in the house it’s amazing and you don’t even say nothing about Gerry Connolly, you should’ve got the job AOC you knew he had cancer
she should not have said planned parenthood because that will get the right wing to accept their own suffering; she should just say health care will be destroyed, and not just those who are on medicaid, but the hospitals too
Still, no buyer’s remorse from the right? How are your egg and energy prices doing, as promised by the orange imbecile? Have you learned your lessons on tariffs yet? You were fooled, tRump supporters. Most of you aren’t wealthy enough to avail from his policies. Ask yourself: are you in the 1%?
I *was* going to make a Mario Party joke but at this point I know its laughable to even consider something would happen.
They set long-fuses on a bunch of this stuff so that it nukes people in 2029, along with making sure they have time to blame whatever person might be next.
I’ve been a little shocked by the number of otherwise peace-loving liberals who have recently been buying guns. That particular deregulation may be rather poorly thought out, even for this regime.
I do suicide evals during initial appointments with 2-3 patients weekly. The number of new gun owners since November is striking. Of course there have always been liberal gun owners-this is the US. However, the number of first time owners I’ve encountered has increased sharply since November.
I don’t know how people who work crisis lines do it. I only do a brief screening as part of my initial appointment for other needs, not necessarily with people who are actively having thoughts about harming themselves.
It should have never come to this, but I don't blame anyone who buys a gun. Will his gestapo start busting down doors (like mine too) of every liberal?😳
As a liberal gun owner, the silencer thing isnt a big deal & Im not sure why we are focusing on that instead of the 1000 other things in this bill that are destroying the foundation of our democracy. Few are talking about them stopping the courts ability to make nationwide injunctions to stop Trump
Oh, I absolutely didn’t mean to distract from other things. I just found it a bit odd they specifically included this given the recent Luigi incident and bubbling anger against the ruling class.
I wasn’t a gun owner until recently. I’m a liberal, always voted that way but I’m not bowing down to some fascist regime with white nationalist playing “cops”. F that.
I have never in my life wanted a gun. Now I have two. One is an 18 gauge shotgun.....I don't intend to miss if someone even thinks about coming in my home at this point.
100%. And if some idiot playing cop without an actual warrant tries to threaten someone , I live in a state where I can take my gun out and tell them to show me proof. We also have open carry. I can’t believe it’s come to this.
There will be no consequences. There are also no more elections so she needs to stop with that nonsense. The only consequences are going to be the dead bodies that will pile up because of a lack of medical care, no vaccines, no FEMA, no SNAP, no NOAA, and no hope.
I checked NOAA tonight and discovered the "hurricane" listing is no longer there. It and many other choices have been removed. I live in Florida. When hurricane season starts in earnest, I won't know where the hell it will hit or what I should do. I'm so fed up with Trump/MAGA/Musk!
Wednesday night... take from the poor to feed the rich. Thursday night... a "private" dinner with 25 who filled his personal coffers.
When Trump leaves office, he'll be doing interviews about how "They just let me do it. How can it be illegal when they just let me do it?" We are all pawns.
If there should be any take away this far into this administration as short as it’s been it’s that decorum is not a useful tool against the intolerant.
republicans been doing this for like 40 years every time they get in office, in fact. issue is that trump might break the US so bad that the bill will come due this time
You think elections are happening? The asshole in charge has that figured out. He is moving FAST, have you noticed? He does not abide by the law, maybe you noticed and unless dems UNITE, it could be game over.
Not true. Then you will have Vance, and lined up behind him is a long line of MAGA Republicans who want to "rebuild" this country in the shape of their (fake)Christian, "everything for the rich, nothing for anything else" vision.
I really wish there were. I really wish that Americans were going to do something about any of this, but we've shown pretty clearly we're going to take ANYTHING they do, and the Dems are still on their back feet.
When (& if) the Democrats have a chance at power again, they cannot do their usual foot-dragging on serving the rest of us while they do concierge duty for their big donors.
We need unmistakable New Deal level change that you don't need a Ph.D. in poli sci to see that it helps us.
Way to go AOC, she reminds them voting for this bill has consequences. Looking forward to the mid terms when a lot of these losers get the karma they deserve. The Republicans don't even pretend to represent the people that voted for them in their state. It's just "F" you over right in your face.
Funny... how everyone was so busy talking about te make believe 'golden dome' that they forgot to bring up the blogs the blogs medicated on the news. #distraction
The sad part of it all is it is so unnecessary! The rich like Trump who paid $15 one year in taxes could easily pay his share. It’s a game with those a$$hats!
I agree they're ideological, but to achieve these ideological goals, they need funded. The US budget isn't infinite, so they need to divert funds from people they don't give a shit about to the much smaller group of people that they do.
Hitting the billionaires and their shareholders will destroy Trump. They don’t care about him. For them, he is just a means of earning money. If the loss becomes too great, they will give up on him.
You don’t need them. If half or even a quarter of the Americans goes on strike, it will affect the entire country. Factories, transport, logistics, air traffic, shops, etc.
Except they will never, ever wake up. When the shit hits the fan they'll blame Dems, immigrants, whatever. The GOP base will believe them and the Centrists will automatically blame Both Sides.
Maybe if they’re shown how House MAGA GOP goons voted they’ll believe and think differently? 🤨 The House Democrats did NOT vote for the horrible bill with its nearly 4 TRILLION Fed debt increase and cuts to Medicaid, etc.! 😡 House Democrats voted AGAINST the bill. There, show them that!
🗳️ 💙💙💙💙❗️
The GOP knows that Republican voters have a very short memory, and are easily manipulated.
They might suffer some losses in 26, but come the 2028 election they can blame everything on the Dems and the Republican voters will fall right in line again.. gullible fools, all of them.
I was raised republican evangelical and left it in my 20s. For me it wasn't any one thing. Someone helped me see an obvious lie that resulted in obvious cruelty.
And from there, it was a steady drip of information and a slow but steady thread pull and unraveling.
I also had moved away-not far- but I had started to make an outside friend group and had my own safe housing that I wasn't going to lose if I kicked the hornets nest by admitting that I was no longer a Republican Christian Evangelical.
Even then it took time, I bridged it by being "libertarian" and Christian for a minute. That type of movement away is marginally more acceptable, at the very least it won't get you kicked out of your community because you use familiar reasoning to move away "freedom" like guns but for other stuff.
It has to happen to them for them to see, is what I've noticed, very few wake-up when it comes to it happening to the ppl in their lives. It's like that saying, "if you don't see, then you will feel", and they really need to feel it.
we're fucked *now* because they didn't learn from Trump's 1st term.
Republicans will fuck shit up, Democrats will do their best to clean it up. Voters will get pissed off because Democrats aren't undoing the fuckery fast enough, so they'll vote for Republicans again.
Add to that the very tepid response from a large swath of Democrats, many just aren't meeting the moment. Or worse trying to play bi-partisan, good faith politics.
They've already talked themselves into believing that they buy "too much Chinese crap," instead of noticing the Repubs made their essentials unaffordable. They're mad at Walmart for making a profit, after defending the grocers who gouged during Covid. They'll repeat talking points to lull themselves
It’s true, but this time it has affected many of their lives. I am holding out hope that farmers have finally learned a lesson and low income voters who rely on these programs may not have voted last time and will take it more seriously. But, even then, how do we protect the vote from Elon?
That "both sides" argument is the most disingenuous of them all. It seems those who make that claim are trying to disguise how they're just fascists in independent clothing
Leftists will also blame both sides, because they believe there’s a “Fix Everything” button that Democrats can push. No, that was the poll lever. The way this ends is with the people.
They are banking on that. When people blame both sides, GOP wins.
Dems aren’t perfect but we the people hold them to a higher standard which benefits GOP. Perfect example is Biden and Trump—Trump says crazy shit all the time but the focus is on Biden who is no longer president 🤬
Of course, for both Conservative media and the mainstream medal, any discussion of George W. Bush was off-limits the moment Obama was inaugurated. I watched (and wrote about) how fast the Dubya years were being bulldozed down the memory hole in real time.
It is the same in the UK with the NHS. Many blame the country for being too full (too many immigrants 🙄 - it isn't) and not the systemic reduction due to funding and privatisation.
And this is because America is full of stupid, gullible people. And yet i wonder, how can people be so dumb? Maybe I’m dumb for even askingvthe question.
To bad we can’t strip the pensions and healthcare from every elected official who voted yes. I want every dime I paid into Medicare while I was working paid to me now.
MAGA 1/6/21 defenders only associates planned parenthood with abortions, so that isn’t the best talking point to mention.
But telling people they won’t have Medicaid, and that the Medicare they get will be worthless since that’s being cut forcing even the poorest to get supplemental
20+ years in a flyover red state working with the poorest and disadvantaged populations. Most clients are sheeples of the red wrecking ball. Victims again of republican family values. Dismantling of education and critical thinking skills has got us here. My job is on the line as I keep advocating.
They will until they lose their healthcare and their hospitals close. They're so stupid. They need to feel the pain because their fucking brains don't work.
The ultra-wealthy that have taken control of the US government use ultranationalism as a means to their ends. They view nations and their laws as an obstruction to be overcome by pitting them against one another. National framing is a way to control populations.
Was thinking the same thing. Dozens of millions of voters that could not even be bothered to vote, will take this by the by, only when they find out they lost everything, they might act surprised. But then they die, or there kids or there loved ones, they can't be bothered. Big game on, somewhere.
If Trump’s so-called “𝘽𝙞𝙜, 𝘽𝙚𝙖𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙛𝙪𝙡 𝘽𝙞𝙡𝙡” becomes law, Americans should be deeply alarmed.
Not just for democracy, but for the long-term health of ALL Americans. This isn’t speculation, it’s a declared intent.
I'm freaked tf out.
I am so worried about children starving in the gutter. Perhaps being raped while begging for food. Having to turn tricks for a slice of bread or a sip of water.
As always they take effect when Dems will come into power and GOP boters will say things got worse under dems. They never make connections to how long things take to go into effect
There will be no midterms. That would not work out for the Nazis. Either the results will be 90% Trump and GOP or canceled due to martial law.
Whatever comes first.
The current Democratic party, or whats left of it,has no chance whatsoever to win anything.There geriatric leadership is busy dying off
Long term, widespread DEATH! ACA protections also require private health insurance to cover “pre-existing” conditions. Most of us have at least 1. My husband and I both have a medication that costs over $1000 per month. He will DIE without his. I can switch to others that are less effective. 😬
I wish I had any faith left that this country will ever wake up. Those of us who haven’t slept since this nightmare began have been waiting a decade for our fellow Americans to wake TF up. They just keep sleeping through the apocalypse. My heart breaks anew with each passing day.
AOC has been effective this term. If the centrist-tending wing of the party had been the more effective, I would be extolling them. But they haven't. The DNC coalition needs to shake itself up, remember what matters, and get to work.
It’s quite fitting that the Anti-Christ’s co-conspirators would pass a cruel and inhumane bill, to ensure personal profit and power, under cover of darkness…
Left have experienced or known true poverty, homelessness, REAL injustice, even starvation and worse from the past, either first hand or in family memory
We KNOW why abandoning democracy and "burning everything down" is a bad idea
MAGAs don't. For generations they've lived such easy pampered
The wake-up call will happen in 529 days. I wonder if Americans will actually flip control of Congress that day ... or hit the Snooze button and go back to sleep.
South African president Cyril Ramaphosa met trump in the White House on a trade deal, he ended up getting lambasted by trump about white south Africans getting murdered everywhere, the message trump sent out to his racist cult was blacks are murdering whites.
The question is when will the majority of people wake up to the fact that this regime is intent on destroying everything that was beneficial to the American people.
I hope she's right, and those consequences fall on those wreaking havoc on the lives of millions, but I fear the consequences will only be felt by those millions.
As I have become an older person I realize that we in this country don't have healthcare. We have Insurance that is set up to put money in the pockets of the medical practitioners & CEO's of hospitals. If you are born healthy do your best to stay that way. We have no cures just medical jail w/drugs.
Wrong. It is set up to put money in the insurance company pockets. Specifically the C suite. The CEO’s of hospitals are not making buck and medical practitioners are paid a set rate. Insurance companies are using third parties to evaluate claims and deny whenever possible. Know your enemy.
When I was much younger, I was diagnosed with a genetic disease that takes regular treatment and meds. We've been screaming about this problem for years, but not one listens, and no one cares.
This is something ,there is a lot to look into with all that is going on in the United States and what is doing it is obvious 35% of it affects it own country before reaching outside America so before it completely goes world wide
Well, you know how the electorate USA feels about waking up, right? They don't like it, not one little bit. They love their blissful slumber, their idle dreams, fantasies. It's a lot more fun than often awkward, difficult reality.
Pre determined conditions are back on the table yall. Those gopers are as diabolical as a cancer found in people's bodies who will not have healthcare coverage. They have pushed Americans on a battlefield that they didn't ask for. We are human and we are Americans, Hear USA ROAR from SEA to SEA.
Our taxes (Americans' taxes and Immigrants' taxes) pay for Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security. These f****** are stealing us blind!!!! And, by the way, Immigrants pay into our system and DO NOT benefit until they become citizens.
Republicans don’t have a Christian bone in their body. They worship the devil. They have no shame. And a small majority of Americans voted for all these cowards and for all this theft and corruption.
Will there be consequences, though? The mainstream media will spin it, sanewash it, and make it seem like typical political bs. Many people will simply believe it, maybe grumble a bit, and move on with their lives. We need plain truth being spoken so loudly that everyone hears it and can't ignore it
It may be tough for some Americans to “move on with their lives” when they find out their health care coverage is diminished or gone. Let’s hope that the Senate understands what the House has done- by one vote!, and rejects it!
Well folks, hope we're all ready for the next revolution because that's what it's going to take to fix this mess. We can sit back and become victims or we can stand up and actually fucking fight. We're done with peaceful protests. Done with big words. It's down to live or die. 86 the GOP or be 86'd.
the problem is the DOJ is going after anyone and everyone that goes against this admin. I am not sure the laws we are use to will save us. We can protest sure but we risk getting sent to where ever they are shipping people off to today. No adult in the room is stopping this.
AOC is right. There will be consequences to pay after Trump is out of office. People need to really fight for the midterms to take the power from the republican party to prevent them from doing even more damage.
👆🏾👇🏾”AOC: Cuando te despiertes en la mañana, te vas a dar cuenta de que votaste para quitarle fondos a Planned Parenthood y quitarle el seguro médico a 13.7 millones de personas. Y cuando este país despierte, habrá consecuencias que pagar por esto”
Wow, what a threat! Gawrsh, and then they can vote in Democrats who will refuse to fix the mangled corpses of these programs, tut tutting about expenses and new jobs!
Just like every other time over the past 40 fuckin years!
Unfortunately the people who we need to call their Senators to stop this bill dont understand this & hear PP and think only of abortion so IMO it shouldnt even be mentioned as they want abortion and PP gone.
I wish she talked more about the rich tax cuts & credits being paid for by medicare cuts
The 'Your Pain, Billionaires Gain' oligarch administration bill? Some MAGA voters waking up this morning to find that their health benefits might disappear soon?
Consequences? What consequences? I’v been waiting for the consequences. I waited for the consequences in Trumps 1st term, and I am waiting for them now. The only consequence from Trumps first term was him being re-elected. I don’t think the consequences AOC speaks will favor Democracy.
What the hell is the Pentagon doing allowing T the plane? Why is Pete Hegseth holding prayer meetings at the Pentagon! Are they being indoctrinated? This is very unusual and the American people want effing answers!
The Heritage Foundation is working behind the scenes, forcing their oppressive version of Christianity into everything they can. That is why they're all cosplaying as "Christian" right now. We're going to see more and more religious crap come down the pipe.
Funny, about 20+- years ago, a Tibetan Buddhist teacher who came to America told his students that in their lifetime America would no longer allow religious pluralism and they should move to Canada. Many did. We MUST do more!! Project 2025? FU
GOP-MAGA is a death cult. They are the most sadistic, godless zombies. Giving the ultra rich money to buy islands and letting Americans not have Medicare or Medicaid. Letting children starve. May they all go to the hell they deserve
Sad that the Democrats keep caving to fascism and veering to the right, abandoning vulnerable people in the process and then trying to scapegoat us for their losses.
This tells me they do not intend to suffer the consequences of their actions. They do not envision a future with free and fair elections, and have bet everything on that.
They have pushed the cuts out past the election. They are high on the idea that this will send the economy soaring. If it does, then nothing else will matter.
The next admin could, but dems would have to control wh, sen, house. AND unless they can do so in a manner that doesn't increase the deficit, it will take 60 votes in the senate.
The rethugs are pushing the consequences out and hope that most Americans won't think about anything since it hasn't happened yet. Sadly, this strategy may work, after all, magats heard trump, knew what he is and voted him in again anyway. The economy may soar until these cuts take effect.
I'd add . The Big Ugly Bill is
An Act Of War against
We The People & The Constitution.
The Senate Must Halt it.
The residual effects will be deadly.
It also Crowns Donald King and takes away the ability of Judicial Rulings to hold The Executive Branch from Contempt Charges.
"there will be consequences to pay for this"
Only for people who don't matter.
No consequences for the scum who authored this bill, or who voted for it. They will get re-elected.
When the election comes, some other stupid thing will be waved about to scare the victims into submission.
To @housegop.bsky.social @senategop.govpeeps.us
Defunding Medicaid, Planned Parenthood, etc is cruel and evil. Americans will vote against every one of you in the #Midterms and forever more. #VoteBlue Republicans do not care about Americans. You always make it clear. .
@housegop.bsky.social You are evil. Taking Medicare away from the disabled, elderly, children, the sick is pure evil and cruelty. Cruelty is the point, that and cutting taxes for the wealthy. We see your lies. The senate@GOP will be evil too. We see you .
We see who you are by your actions. @housegop.bsky.social
@senategop.govpeeps.us Americans judge you by your actions/votes. We will vote accordingly for Democrats.
If America ever comes back from this, either AOC or Buttigieg need to be president. The only two people who can communicate to every American effectively. Let's toss Bernie in there for honorary mention, though his age may pose a problem.
Also, they're some of the only Dems who walk the walk.
Remember when the GOP said we need bills that aren't too long. No more giant omnibus type bills. The bill's name should plainly describe what is in the bill. Bills should be able to be read in an hour.
Yep, they will say anything and use any rules they can as a cudgel against the Dems. No shame, no care about being called out, no morels as long as they gain or retain power to do what they desire.
Consequences indeed. I have friends who will die without their cancer meds. I have a friend who will die or kill himself without the methadone paid for by Medicaid. Think of all of the disabled children who are uninsurable without Medicaid. Nursing homes will be moving residents into the streets.
I’m a Brit covered by a NHS, not perfect , yet covers everyone. The idea that u can’t get health insurance because of type of illness or too many claims is frightening. A country is only as healthy as the ppl in it
The passage of this bill now should give the dems plenty of time to formulate a plan and a strategy and talking points to demolish any Republican running for office from dog catcher to the house and senate, and don’t forget 2028
They WANT to defund PP. They WANT to defund public education because it doesn't teach religious indoctrination. They WANT to defund healthcare and make it unaffordable because it makes people desperate and reliant on their employers. MAGA is all about creating a new class of serfs.
100%. It's alarming how these policies prioritize control over real progress. Thanks for calling it out. Couldn’t agree more. These actions disproportionately hurt marginalized communities and foster inequality
Look, we are all just waiting for leadership to give us the go ahead. Nobody has explicitly said the words. And somebody at this point has to. There are millions of people waiting for the go ahead. There are millions more waiting for them, they just have to call us to action
The go ahead to do what? Trump will never leave office again as long as he can still breathe. My growing collection of homemade signs isn't gonna be much help. The "leaders" of my side have no plan. Physical resistance or attack will get us all killed. What's the strategy?
5/ Finally, I don't want a king. I don't require an empire and neither do you. All I want is a place in the world to call my home, my place of peace. That should be the goal for everyone, don't you agree?
4/ Even now, with all his power and money, he's still losing. All it seems to take is someone standing up to him on camera, saying 'Fuck you" and walking away. He always caves to that.
It is the nature of both parties to "over reach" and shoot themselves in the foot, in this case the Republicans well know what they want is very unpopular, but their going to do it to make the Oligarchs that own them happy. Also known as even richer.
Our current politicians and judges aren't capable of that anymore. They are all pacifist cowards.
The real justice will come from the PEOPLE, just as the Founding Fathers intended.
Those members of congress who voted for Trumps budget bill all get free healthcare and free meals all paid for by taxpayers! Republicans don't care about you! They all work for the billionaires who own their evil asses!
Republicans were "smart" .. the taxes (therefore income to the govt) starts immediately. The cuts to Medicaid and Medicare start AFTER mid terms. It will be on us to spread the truth since we all know they will be spinning a lie.
They also just gave away our PUBLIC LANDS for drilling & mining.
I am a veteran. Now I am old. I have few friens. They are old. The ACA gave them health care. The greedy billionaires and their toadies (Republicans) want to take away their health care. They will die. I will be lonely.
Actually, no there won't be consequences. the GOP has so gerrymandered the Congressional districts, packed the courts, changed the laws to prevent challenges to gerrymandering, that short of revolution at this point there really won't be any consequences. They know this, and are going to town.
Absolutely. And it's increasingly the only option that We the People seem to have. Mid Terms either aren't going to happen, or will be so controlled by the RethugliKKKlan party that they'll be meaningless.
Incorrect. There are dozens of districts that have republican representatives that are well within the average democrats have been over performing in special elections. We flipped 4 in November. The 2010 midterms Obama lost 60 seats because Dems stayed home. It was a census Congress that then
gerrymandered the hell out of Congress. We have been chipping away but unless we vote every single election, like republicans do, we won’t get ahead. Demanding perfection in candidates is not conducive with democracy. Republicans vote like they want to win. Doom & gloom is what republicans expect
How do you "keep it legal" when they control the Congress, the Executive and the Courts? You begin to win, they change the rules. Take holding the administration in contempt for shipping people to concentration camps overseas. They just inserted an amendment in the BBB that says you can't do that
I say that for legal protection since I have no doubt these are being watched.
Beyond that leverage the law until they keep tearing it apart, and do it too quickly for people to ignore. Eventually something will break and the whole thing will crash down on top of them.
They still pretend to care about the law, I am using that against them. They still pretend they care about their voter base, I am using that against them.
They either back off or go mask off. The former is relief and the latter makes people wake up a little more.
Comments
Woe to those who misuse the masses for their own benefit.
They set long-fuses on a bunch of this stuff so that it nukes people in 2029, along with making sure they have time to blame whatever person might be next.
Orban did it, he's been there 15 years.
He also loves Putin who's been there for 20 years.
What about Xi and Kim? Lifetime rulers.
If his bullshit bill passes, there's a clause in there to stop courts from trying to stop him.
It's game over
Which is why I call often for folks to mobilize for a general strike.
We have the numbers, just not a lead.
They're doing it in many european countries.
Weekend gatherings won't cut it.
There seems to be many leads but nothing well-organized, indeed.
Problem is they will surely send J6ers to these protests to break stuff and invoke martial law.
Yes the actual striking is a thing but honestly, just cut off the market at the knees.

HOW TO DRIVE trump VOTERS A-W-A-Y-!!!👇
I'm Woke Up and Proud and it's time to wake up every somnolent MAGAt I meet.
When Trump leaves office, he'll be doing interviews about how "They just let me do it. How can it be illegal when they just let me do it?" We are all pawns.
People are to commonly forgetful of Project 2025, and how we're AHEAD of the timeline on that fucking thing.
I keep waiting
What do they know that we don’t?
SHAMEFUL
They knew NOBODY wants this so they voted on it in the middle of the night. VOTE THEM OUT!
Almost.

These cuts don’t need to be made
I think that's basically it.
The Great Depression, 2nd Edition.
Organize a General strike across the US.
Hitting the billionaires and their shareholders will destroy Trump. They don’t care about him. For them, he is just a means of earning money. If the loss becomes too great, they will give up on him.
🗳️ 💙💙💙💙❗️
They might suffer some losses in 26, but come the 2028 election they can blame everything on the Dems and the Republican voters will fall right in line again.. gullible fools, all of them.
What is it going to take for them to figure it out?
And from there, it was a steady drip of information and a slow but steady thread pull and unraveling.
Very intimately.
Republicans will fuck shit up, Democrats will do their best to clean it up. Voters will get pissed off because Democrats aren't undoing the fuckery fast enough, so they'll vote for Republicans again.
Rinse & repeat ad infinitum.
Are there Democrats who could be doing better? Absolutely. But most are doing what they can with the shit sandwich white voters handed them.
I also won't blame them for the MSM refusing to cover them when they're out there speaking about the damage being done by the GOP.
The rich throughout history use the bigotry to control them.
Dems aren’t perfect but we the people hold them to a higher standard which benefits GOP. Perfect example is Biden and Trump—Trump says crazy shit all the time but the focus is on Biden who is no longer president 🤬

But telling people they won’t have Medicaid, and that the Medicare they get will be worthless since that’s being cut forcing even the poorest to get supplemental
Consequences will only befall Americans who are most vulnerable.
Trump’s base is holding steady at 40%
Those Americans want this cruel bill
This war is not about one nation attacking another. They are intent on destroying the idea of nations, and of self governance.
That's what woke people do.
Not just for democracy, but for the long-term health of ALL Americans. This isn’t speculation, it’s a declared intent.
I am so worried about children starving in the gutter. Perhaps being raped while begging for food. Having to turn tricks for a slice of bread or a sip of water.
Whatever comes first.
The current Democratic party, or whats left of it,has no chance whatsoever to win anything.There geriatric leadership is busy dying off
Will this be what motivates a protest too big to be ignored? They grow bigger and better each time.
Without knowing it, most MAGAs come from a background of excess and privilege
They take their easy lives so much for granted that not being able to go to the Gym or Nail Salon during COVID were for them serious deprivations
Many of us on the
We KNOW why abandoning democracy and "burning everything down" is a bad idea
MAGAs don't. For generations they've lived such easy pampered
I wish they could see what horrors they're opening this country up to -for themselves- let alone the rest of us -innocent- and who know better
I can not feel sorry for them since they have shown that they deserve this fate
the GOP is SPEEDRUNNING a french revolution

@olbermann.bsky.social latest pod cast spells it all out, though in a brittle and almost hysterical manner.
They're fomenting civil war with the obscene inequality and continuous lies.
The 10 richest people made $385 billion last year.

#Trump #MAGA
The sick fucks.
"If Roe is overturned we will riot!"
Left promotes Peace, Inclusion & Rule-of-Law.
Far-Right promotes Fear & Exclusion against opposition.
Just like every other time over the past 40 fuckin years!
What a great plan
The government does not fund abortions.
They fund programs at Planned Parenthood that provide healthcare for women.
This isn’t a moral issue about abortion. It’s blatantly stripping women of healthcare.
I wish she talked more about the rich tax cuts & credits being paid for by medicare cuts
right.
Used to think that damage to
personal health and wealth
might help the regular folks
who voted for this to see the
light …
Not so sure anymore.
How many more town halls
either missed or cancelled will constituents take before
epiphany sets in ?
Hands Off Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security and SNAP!
Make calls!

You're getting a Christian fundamentalist American version.
Make them known

This tells me they do not intend to suffer the consequences of their actions. They do not envision a future with free and fair elections, and have bet everything on that.
Could the next president with unlimited power, or the next congress, repeal or pass a different bill? Assuming we have a free/ fair election, that is.
An Act Of War against
We The People & The Constitution.
The Senate Must Halt it.
The residual effects will be deadly.
It also Crowns Donald King and takes away the ability of Judicial Rulings to hold The Executive Branch from Contempt Charges.
Only for people who don't matter.
No consequences for the scum who authored this bill, or who voted for it. They will get re-elected.
When the election comes, some other stupid thing will be waved about to scare the victims into submission.
Pain will have to wake up half of this nation, sadly.
Defunding Medicaid, Planned Parenthood, etc is cruel and evil. Americans will vote against every one of you in the #Midterms and forever more. #VoteBlue Republicans do not care about Americans. You always make it clear. .
@senategop.govpeeps.us Americans judge you by your actions/votes. We will vote accordingly for Democrats.
Also, they're some of the only Dems who walk the walk.
That was almost a year ago. 🤔
Working Americans VOTED for them to do this.
This is what they wanted.
WHY?????
WE NEED AN EDIT BUTTON!!
Is it not worth an armed resistance to keep hold and cleanse this country of everything that’s wrong with it?
Do you understand the empire’s last an average of 250 years. It’s time to make a new empire my friend.
3/ If that fails, let's do what always flummoxes the lummoxes; refuse to obey. Loudly, publicly, let's be obnoxious and petty about it, just like him.
However, there are many, non-violent forms of aggression. Sneaky, quiet, hard to detect or prove forms of aggression.
The real justice will come from the PEOPLE, just as the Founding Fathers intended.
They also just gave away our PUBLIC LANDS for drilling & mining.
I'll just leave this here
They've rigged the game so we start playing a new one in our favor, one they can't win that will still make them pay for this.
We can even keep it legal and we can still make it hurt.
Beyond that leverage the law until they keep tearing it apart, and do it too quickly for people to ignore. Eventually something will break and the whole thing will crash down on top of them.
Lol.
A quaint anachronism if ever there were one.
They either back off or go mask off. The former is relief and the latter makes people wake up a little more.
