DAY 4 OF TRUMP’S SHUTDOWN:
🍎 More than 6M including parents, children, and families tely on WIC for food and nutrition support.
WIC funds could run out in just 2 weeks! That means empty fridges and skipped meals for families who need it most.

👀 "Trump and Republicans will use the shutdown as just another tool to do what they’ve been trying to do all year, including dismantling the Dept of Education, slashing programs that serve English language learners, migrant students, shutter community schools and services for young people..."

The facts are simple: Republicans control the White House, the Senate + the House. If the govt shuts down, it's because they decided to shut it down rather than protect healthcare.
Demand they protect our healthcare: popdemoc.org/sep30pet
Here's what "negotiate" means in this context: give up healthcare for 22 million people, let premiums spike 75%, keep the tax cuts flowing to the top, and call it compromise.

30.09.2025 19:50 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Democrats have drawn a clear line - they’re not passing a budget that strips healthcare from working families while the tax cuts for corporations and the wealthy stay intact.
Republicans could prevent this shutdown by simply including healthcare protections in the budget.
We're close to a government shutdown.
Here's what's actually happening: Republicans are refusing to extend the enhanced ACA in the next budget. Those subsidies keep 22 million people covered and prevent premiums from spiking 75% for millions more.
Exactly!
Republicans control the House, Senate, and White House.
If the government shuts down, it's because they chose to shut it down rather than pass a budget that serves the people.
We’re still grieving our north star. Fly high Assata Olugbala Shakur.

Double-digit percent price increases under Trump's Tarrifs.

Republicans' priorities are clear: they prefer to fund private prisons and ICE over public schools.
They gut pay for teachers and programs, even cutting services for blind and deaf students, then blame kids for “falling behind.”
Call it what it is 📢 #GOPCutsKillEducation
They target Historically Black Colleges and Universities because they fear Black excellence.
They choke off funding to keep Black students from climbing higher, then lie about “budget priorities.”
Call it what it is: #GOPCutsKillEducation
Families need fully funded public schools, not politicians who want to steal from our kids’ futures.

Public schools are already under attack from Republican cuts that strip away afterschool programs, teacher support, and resources for low-income students.
Johnson’s plan goes even further — erasing federal protections and giving more power to billionaires and corporations.
#GOPCutsKillEducation
🚨 HAPPENING NOW: Students and educators shut down Speaker Johnson’s office to protest his continued push to dismantle public education.
We are fighting back because education is our right!
Republicans are defunding public schools to funnel billions into private schools for their rich friends.
They want to leave public schools hanging on by a thread while keeping the 1% happy.
Every child deserves a quality education. We need to fight the cuts!

Our schools and families are under attack.
The proposed federal budget slashes $12 billion from education and guts programs like Title I, after-school care, and teacher training.
It also puts 18 million kids’ meals at risk.
Rain or shine we'll demand our rights!
Today, we came together to fight back against the cuts to our life-saving programs.
Because our children deserve more than overcrowded classrooms and broken promises.
📚 Reject the Cuts. Invest in our Communities.

🏡✊This is what tenant power looks like.
After years of organizing, Passaic tenants won one of NJ’s strongest rent control laws, capping rent hikes at 3% & closing landlord loopholes.
Learn how they did it & what’s next below:

With a gov’t shutdown looming, dozens of youth, educators, families, and frontline advocates from across the country are joining @popdemocaction.bsky.social in a powerful march to the Capitol in Washington DC to demand that Congress halt deep federal budget cuts to public education. #CareNotCuts

🏘VICTORY! Tarrytown opts into #GoodCause with the strongest tenant protections possible.
It will give power back to tenants by enabling them to fight for the living conditions they deserve, and protecting them from exorbitant rent increases, often used as unofficial eviction notices.
