WE MUST.
A VERY important point -- this bill is not final, not at all. It will now go to the Senate. If the Senate makes changes to the bill (they likely will), it will go back to the House for another vote.

The House passed it last night with ONE VOTE.

We can stop this. We have to.
I understand this will sound hyperbolic but it's more accurate than not to say anything you care about, this bill seeks to destroy.

ICE agents hide their identities with gaiters and masks so we can’t identify them while peaceful protestors (some wearing masks because of health concerns and disabilities) in some states are banned from wearing them. If you are so ok with disappearing people, why not show your faces?

Thank you, Senator Booker. Every time we rise up, it matters. More of this please.

Hey Republicans, I’m wondering if there is a red line for you in this hellscape. What I just watched happen in the Oval Office goes against all the “American” ideals you claim to believe in. You’d rather keep silent and gain power and more $ than you can ever spend than stand up for your country.

Remember the Whos in whoville? And the grinch steals everything and yet, there they are, in their who circle and their who pjs, holding hands and singing in a circle and the grinch can’t stand it? That’s us, except fiercer.

Since they’re basically firing everyone in every department and want to get rid of government, it seems like the most superfluous people are the ones that just got confirmed. Also, why don’t we have a superhero billionaire like in the movies?

So, I have to freeze my credit FROM the federal government? That’s very 2025

Sure didn’t take Pam Bondi long to show us who she’s always been. Democrats didn’t even bother delaying that vote on the floor. I just don’t get it.

THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION IS A DEPARTMENT CREATED BY STATUTE; IT CANNOT BE ELIMINATED BY EXECUTIVE ORDER! EXECUTIVE ORDERS CANNOT REPEAL STATUTES! JUST LIKE DEPARTMENTS CANNOT BE CREATED BY EXECUTIVE ORDER!

she shouts into the void
BREAKING: The White House is preparing an executive order to eliminate the Department of Education, two sources familiar with the plans tell NBC News.

It's not that rhetoric isn't useful. It's that not only is there an absence of a plan to combat what we're seeing, but on top of that, the rhetoric from many Democratic lawmakers feels detached. The messaging is ludicrously subdued. Unhelpfully formal. There is a massive failure in reading the room.

We need to change the narrative and do what we can- it will look different for each of us, based on your own power/ privilege. The harm they intend to cause so many people is not normal or acceptable. Please call your senators and rep- demand a response! They work for you.

So are we just stuck with Senator Schumer as the minority leader til the end of days? Maybe it’s just me, but it feels like we may need someone with a little less interest in decorum and more interest in resistance.

I feel like an adolescence of reading dystopian fiction has somewhat prepared for me what is to come - where fiction becomes reality. However, despair is not an option. Thinking of everyone out there today who’s also scared and angry. We are many- don’t believe the narrative that you are alone-

I’ve been on hold with the pharmacy for 40 minutes so far this morning (and I’m privileged enough to be able to remain on hold). Luckily, the script I’m waiting on is not necessary to keep me alive, but what if it was? And people think it’s going to get better for them in 3 days??

Help me understand: one of my senators(D) put out a statement about protecting the ACA; the hatred in the comments was unreal. Is it now controversial to want people to have healthcare?

I’m wondering when they’re going to announce Hulk Hogan’s cabinet position.

My dad loved DC comics. I can’t help feeling like we woke up in Gotham City on November 6th and now millions of us need to become Batman to fight the Joker(s).
