But it offsets these expensive tax cuts in part through what several experts said may prove to be the most dramatic reductions in safety net spending in modern U.S. history. While last-minute changes to the bill text make precise estimates impossible, the legislation appears on track to cut Medicaid by about 18 percent and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) by roughly 20 percent, according to estimates based on projections from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.
Republicans are proposing the largest cut to the social safety net in US history

There's a lot to be said about identity, solidarity. But a simple place to start: the people who are willing to fight for their neighbors when their neighbors have different problems have a very, very good chance of having neighbors to fight with when you all share problems

π¨π¨π¨ The Supreme Court has just allowed Trump to strip as many as 350,000 people of legal status, effectively IMMEDIATELY.
Every Venezuelan granted TPS through the July 31, 2023 designation has been rendered undocumented as of now, significantly increasing the undocumented population.

Reconsidering Reparations is a book with profound implications for our views of justice, racism, the legacies of slavery and colonialism, and climate policy.
This is a do-or-die moment for the whole labor movement
Will organized labor step up to meet Trump's existential challenge head on? Or will unions stick to purely legal challenges, press conferences, and scattered small-scale protests?
Trump's executive order tonight has illegally cancelled union contracts for 67% of the federal workforce & 75% of unionized federal employees β roughly 700,000 union workers
This may be the single biggest attack on the labor movement in American history
