Stop the Trump Shutdown

Republicans are insisting on a budget that'll kick millions off healthcare and raise costs for the rest of us. If they dropped these cruel demands, the Trump Shutdown would end today. app.sosha.ai/s/JLtOqeGx

Donald Trump formally took a spastic leap in that direction last Thursday when he issued โ€œNational Security Presidential Memorandum - 7โ€ โ€” which directs his administration, on the barest of pretexts, to investigate and prosecute organizations that oppose Trumpism as domestic terrorists.

One thing any would-be authoritarian has to do if he wants his dictatorial dreams to come true is make it a โ€œcrimeโ€ to criticize or oppose his regime.

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

Chicago gears up as Trump troop deployment looms: โ€˜We arenโ€™t helplessโ€™ City on edge as Trump threatens to send in national guard, but organizers and residents are taking steps to push back

We canโ€™t be effective if we donโ€™t act together. We draw our strength from each other. That is the strength of Chicago, and thatโ€™s whatโ€™s going to get us through this. What Trumpโ€™s administration doesnโ€™t understand is that we are in a community. ~Denise Poloyac, Indivisible Chicago #HandsOffChicago

This is a monstrous bill, a declaration of war on American families. It guts our services to fund giveaways to billionaires and exponentially scale up Trump's personal secret police force.

We'll hold Rs who passed it accountable and we'll fight every step of the way to protect those it harms.

Blue graphic with white letters reads: Trump's Big Ugly Bill: 
Forces nearly a trillion dollars in cuts to Medicaid, the largest cut to the life-saving program ever by a factor of FOUR

Gives ICE a larger budget than many militaries around the world

Strips healthcare away from 5% of Americans

Kicks 11.8 million people off SNAP benefits

Not only cuts funding for green energy but actually taxes it, threatening to balloon energy costs and eliminate hundreds of thousands of jobs

Represents the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in US history
