Hello, Bluesky! Due to current events (especially involving the U.S.), I have created this page with the goal to preserve both history and resources that emphasize importance to diversity, inclusion and fairness to the people and environment.

KEEP THE PRESSURE ON

KEEP CALLING

TELL YOUR CONGRESSIONAL REPRESENTATIVES TO

Vote
Hell
No

ON THE BIG UGLY BILL

(202) 224-3121
sahilkapur.bsky.social Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur.bsky.social · Jul 3
HOUSE FLOOR LATEST: It's 206-216 right now.

All 212 Democrats have showed up and voted NO. So unless one of the 4 Republican NOs flips, this rule to advance Donald Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill" is toast.

With the “Big Beautiful Bill” in flux, and federal funds for gender-affirming care hanging in the balance, protections for trans children and adults continue to be dismantled at the state level.

What's in the Trump/GOP big, beautiful bill?

-Tax cuts skewed to the rich
-Medicaid & SNAP cuts
-Ends IRS Direct File
-New powers for Trump over the courts
-Blocks state/local regulation against AI, including rent-gouging software like RealPage

It's a big, ugly nightmare.

This week, the Senate will vote on Trump’s Big Ugly Bill, a funding package that would hurt children who depend on Medicaid, nutritional assistance programs, and more. Watch the video below to learn more, and visit go.aft.org/BigUglyBill to stand up for families! www.facebook.com/reel/1466120...
Help us stop the Big Ugly Bill from cutting what we need.
Our country should be a place where everyone has an opportunity to thrive and where a middle-class job is a reality, not just an aspiration. Tell Congress to stop cuts to Medicaid, SNAP, and programs ...

MASSIVE good news for trans people in the United States.

A federal judge has just granted class action status to transgender people looking to update their passports.

This means that very shorty, the window will open to update your passports with the correct gender marker.

Harriet Tubman #quilt by my Mom, Vera P. Hall, who makes quilts celebrating Black people who fought for their own freedom. This seems to be the crowd favorite of the “We Didn’t Wait for Freedom” series. Happy #Juneteenth #quilting
