Donald Trump gives people permission to be their worst selves. His politics are not just representative, they are generative. His words seep into peopleβs souls and slowly corrode whatever potential for human decency ever resided there.

Republicans sold you out so billionaires can get even richer.
We won't let them forget.
I donβt think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make whatβs happening now look like childβs play. And people are disappearing.
This π is going to fundamentally change America. An internal security force with ever expanding powers impacting citizens and non-citizens.
With a mission that already expands far beyond what Americans voted for in November 2024.

π A stunning mural of the Statue of Liberty covering her face was unveiled in Roubaix, France, on July 3, 2025.
The ICE budget jumping from $3B to $45B should be the loudest alarm from this bill. The silence from electeds on the mass criminalization of immigrants is LOUD. Medicaid cuts are devastating, yes, but donβt ignore the cruelty being supercharged at our borders and on our streets!!!

As of right now, House Republicans donβt have enough votes to pass Trumpβs Tax Scam that would gut Medicaid to give billionaires more tax cuts.
