Trump's billionaire remodel if the Oval Office is brought to you by the 17 million Americans who were stripped of their healthcare. Not only is it tacky, it's mismanagement of our tax dollars. #FDT #Resist

Working families lose out on vital programs like SNAP and Medicaid all to give ICE more funding for their cruelty. It's absolutely disgusting. Keep resisting, keep protesting, keep reporting ICE locations. We cannot slow down. #Resist #FuckTrump #3E #Demcast
Graphic says quote Trump's big ugly Bill cuts vital services while using our tax dollars to rip families apart. Families lose snap and Medicaid benefits due to severe funding cuts which leads to ice skating nearly $75 billion to radar communities and abduct our neighbors. Republicans are stealing from Peter to pay for Paul's deportation.

Got into some #GoodTrouble in #FranklinTN today. Definitely a smaller crowd than we see in Nashville, but a good number of people matched in the streets of this uber red city.

Don’t be fooled, many cuts won’t happen until after midterms 2026.
They are hoping the delays will go unnoticed to secure the votes of MAGA. The delays are strategy. #Resist #3E #VoteBlue #DontObeyInAdvance #DemCast
Graphic explains what cuts are in H.R.1 and why we are not yet feeling the effects of the cuts. The Medicaid work rules begin 12/2026, SNAP restrictions begin late 2026, cutting clean energy credits begins mid to late 2026, student load changes go into affect by 2026, affordable housing cuts phased out late this year, and rural hospital finding cuts happen in 2026.

”Alligator Alcatraz” is cruel, inhumane, and won’t fix immigration. It looks like a concentration camp.
We’re better than this; uphold due process and treat everyone humanely in the USA.

STOP THE Big Ugly Bill in the House. This bill would strip the healthcare of millions of Americans while giving financial backing to ICE's cruel raids.

Image lists 4 things the big ugly bill will do as it rips food and healthcare to millions of Americans. 1) increase ICE's detention budget by 13x. 2) find 10,000 new ICE agents. 3) provide bonuses for ICR agents and 4) makes ICE the highest funded law enforcement agency in the federal government.

This fight isn't over.
Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill,” is headed to the House, and we have the power to stop it.
Call your representative at 202-224-3121 and tell them to #VoteNo #Resist
At the top of the poster it says the latest on Trump's big beautiful bill which is happening what comes next. Underneath her four points first being after 24 hours of voting Senate Republicans voted to rip healthcare away from 17 million people, jacked up food costs, raise utility bills, and add 4 trillion dollars to the national debt. The second says because you raised your voice, the vote was 50/50 and vice president JD Vance had to break the tie. Third says the bill has now to be passed by the House of Representatives and the Republicans are squeamish. This is not over yet call your representative to stop the bill now 202-224-3121. This is a quote from Elizabeth Warren

Image reads: Republicans are lying about what's in their quote big beautiful Bill. They say they're not cutting Medicaid and there are no Medicaid cuts in the big beautiful bill. But the truth is that the bill cuts 1 trillion dollars from Medicaid and is four times the largest cut to Medicaid in history. Trump broke his word to you, but not to his billionaire donors. Cutting your health care pays for their tax breaks. Call your senator now and tell them to vote no. 202-224-3121.

Trump’s decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers.

His reckless and illegal actions have endangered American lives at home and abroad. 

This is grounds for impeachment.

Sen. Chris Murphy warns that the U.S. keeps repeating the same heartbreaking mistakes in the Middle East. He says an escalating conflict or civil war in Iran would be a nightmare for U.S. security. On his way back from Europe, he's monitoring the crisis closely.

At large-scale protests like No Kings, this advice could save lives. Sitting puts you at greater risk from tear gas, trampling, and delays in escape. Stay mobile, stay safe. Stand, link arms, walk slowly, and document. Strategy is survival. Share this widely.
#NoKings #Resist #3E #Protest #DemCast
Graphic about staying safe during a large protest. Don't sit down in a protest. It's harder to get up quickly, tear gas sinks, starting mobile helps peace marshals deescalate. Instead: stand quietly, link arms, walk slowly, and/or document (video). Nonviolence works best when it's strategic.

Authoritarians want us to give up. Don’t. Courage is contagious. Optimism is an act of defiance. Stand tall, speak up, and believe in a better future. We’re not alone—and we’re not powerless. Democracy survives when we refuse to back down. #Resist #3E #PeacefulProtest #FuckTrump #NoKingd #DemCast
Resolution 1: Be brave. Avoid helpless/hopeless talk. Authoritarians want you to feel powerless because it makes their work easier. Courage, faith, and optimism are essential. Fascism feeds on cynicism and pessimism Starve it. No refund lasts forever. Resolve to do your part to ensure the survival of democracy. Choose to believe that we will find a way to come out stronger. -George Lakoff & Gil Duran
