Speak out. The most vulnerable people and families are being hit the hardest.

Once Trump has been Making America Great Again for another few months, I expect it to be a lot like 1980s Mexico around here.

I tried to call the White House. The office was CLOSED.

Yeah, we’ve capitulated. Hail Cesar!

Honestly what good are statements?

As a lot of his supporters are now entering the find out zone I want to scream I told you, but my heart aches for everyone affected by inhumane actions. Now I need to know how I can help? I've contacted all representatives for my district.

There is no working together with Nazi and nazi apologists. They must be removed as active threats and harm to this country and its people.

People, tell them.

Agreed. I may need to see a lot of cat pics to get through today. 😝

Head of Meals on Wheels said they don't know what to do. These policies harm everyone especially vulnerable populations including rural poor. No one deserves to have food and healthcare taken away. The memo is intentionally vague. Topher Spiro on X gives a good breakdown.

luckily Medicaid, SNAP and WIC are not impacted according to clarification from the OBM. Still horrific with all of other programs that are impacted.

thanhneville.medsky.social•25 days ago

people are saying differently about medicaid though. https://bsky.app/profile/keeptroyblue.bsky.social/post/3lgt5ym4f5s2r

And clearly this was on purpose.

houtrowmdphdmph.bsky.social•25 days ago

Yes. And the WH press sec reported that they are fixing it. So much is fast moving. Now a federal judge has blocked it all.

nightshiftxtech.bsky.social•25 days ago

Fast moving? It's the "shock and awe" from a toxic malignant narcissist traitor president who calls Vladimir Putin "Boss".

The hungry riot.

The impotence displayed by progressive leadership makes it abundantly clear that it will be up to us to save our democracy. I fear there will be blood in the streets, but I fervently hope we can do what leads to the bloodshed.

pabrocb.bsky.social•25 days ago

Those of us who were around in the 60s remember that blood. But we are getting old. Can we bring walkers to a demo?

BIll McKibben brought rocking chairs to a protest, lots of them.

dmcgo.bsky.social•25 days ago

It’s not progressives but Democrats.

emilyrose.bsky.social•25 days ago

These aren’t even things the president has the authority to do. These are budget matters, which are decided by Congress. So it shouldn’t be hard to fight back. Which just makes it all the more egregious no one is bothering.

Let the citizens voices drown out the lies of the supposed new "government" of America. Everyone who has any intelligence and morals knows what they actually are. If no one says anything, nothing will change! Keep fighting citizens! Best wishes from up north! Love and Respect!
