The more they try to intimidate and divide us

The more we will overwhelm them with compassion and joy

MAGA’s tactics of fear and hatred will always succumb to our movement of acceptance and love

That’s $5 billion more than the entire annual USAID budget. All to one country. To rescue one friend of the president’s.

Trump found another $20 BILLION to give to Argentina, totaling their bailout to $40 BILLION.

Yet we can’t afford to prevent millions of Americans from losing their healthcare.

Shame.
