Three former Ohio attorneys general agree: cutting LSC's funding is a threat to justice. Their powerful op-ed explains why.
18.07.2025 22:35 โ ๐ 3 ๐ 3 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.
I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. Iโm sorry we have to live through this.
Hakeem Jeffries just now:
โWe're not here to bend the knee to any wannabe kingโฆ
We donโt work for President Trumpโฆ
Mr. Speakerโas all of us prepare to cast this voteโI hope my Republican colleagues will come to the conclusion that we work for the American people.
We work for the American people.โ
Title: The Big, Bullshit, Bill has passed. Logos for 50501, Voices of Florida, and Political Revolution are on the bottom of the image.
Text: This bill will be devastating to millions of Americans and immigrants. We will see prices for every day goods sky-rocket even more. People will die due to not having access to the medical care they need. With their new budget, ICE will truly become Trumpโs Gestapo. Kidnappings and deportations of immigrants will only increase. More camps will be built. This only scratches the surface on what this bill will bring upon America. But, that doesnโt mean our work is over. Logos and websites for 50501, Voices of Florida, and Political Revolution are on the bottom of the image.
Text: Take a minute to take it all in. Scream. Cry. Whatever it is you need to do. Then, act. Itโs okay to feel defeated. To be angry. To be terrified. But, it is NOT the time to give up. It is the time to fight ever harder. As said by John Lewis, โDo not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble.โ Logos and websites for 50501, Voices of Florida, and Political Revolution are on the bottom of the image.
Text: The time for meaningful action is always NOW. Get out into the streets. Build and protect your community. Organize mutual aid. Hold your representatives accountable. Call out ICE sightings on social media, People over Papers, and ICEBlock. Donate to bail and immigration funds. Boycott companies who support MAGA policies. Educate yourself and those around you. And, so much more. Every act of resistance contributes to the cause. Our mission hasnโt changed. We must continue to fight for our democracy. Logos and websites for 50501, Voices of Florida, and Political Revolution are on the bottom of the image.
Now is not the time to despair. Now is the time for action.
This bill is a devastating blow against the American people. It will make retaking our democracy much more difficult.
However, our mission has not changed. They win when we give up. We must continue the fight.
Civil legal services play a vital role in disaster recovery by helping survivors navigate critical legal needs like housing and benefits. Hear one client's story of how LSC grantee Texas RioGrande Legal Aid helped her rebuild her life after a disaster. #LSCMatters
