When our National Guard is forced to choose between protecting ICE and protecting US...
...they will choose US.
...they will choose US.
Americans know the National Guard. The National Guard are your neighbors. They are members of your community. When deployed, they are there to help the community, not harm them.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.
For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

We're witnessing the culminating rot of shareholder capitalism in real time.
Some of the most powerful corporations in America have sided with an authoritarian regime in order to protect their short term profits — the fundamental rights of everyone else be damned.

The Trump administration thinks we should pull grandma out of the nursing home to have her work on a farm.
THAT'S who's losing Medicaid.
And I promise you, they will not fill the jobs left by immigrant farmworkers who this administration is deporting.

Brooke Rollins on farm laborers: "There will be no amnesty. The mass deportations continue, but in a strategic way. And we move the workforce toward automation and 100% American participation, which with 34 million able-bodied on Medicaid we should be able to do fairly quickly."

This is not just “low-income” people hurt- a huge number of middle-income folks end up relying on Medicaid for skilled nursing care.
Medicare does not pay for more than 100 days and the cost out of pocket is about $11k//mth. It eats up any savings fast.

A new analysis shows Medicaid cuts could force nearly 600 nursing homes — many serving low-income, high-need residents — to close.
