The majority of Japanese-Americans interned during WWII were American citizens.

Our government ignored their civil rights.

Letโ€™s keep this simple: #VoteNo

Ok, so Republicans just introduced a 900 page bill none of them have read. But my team is going through it line by line and on this ๐Ÿงตyou can see the hidden provisions we found. Will update all day.

1/ NEW Medicaid cuts, so now 17 million - instead of 16M - lose health care.

โ€œICE gets a bigger budget than the Marine Corpsโ€ is a simple fact that should be communicated very widely because it clearly expresses how crazy and radical this is

Everything is a โ€œredistribution of wealthโ€ โ€” the only question is which direction itโ€™s heading in.

Stop letting them convince you the only valid direction is from the bottom to the top. Theyโ€™ve been selling that snake oil for decades.

Keep calling, writing, and speaking out.

Republicans are in the middle of trying to pass Trump's big bill, but it's not a done deal.

They know it's a bad bill, and we need to convince just four of them to stand with working families. If we can do that, we can stop this thing.

The Big Beautiful Bill is in its ugliest form yet.

- Adding $4 trillion to the deficit
- 17 million will lose health care
- 30% higher electricity costs
- Biggest ever cut in food assistance
- $1 trillion in billionaire tax cuts

Weโ€™re doing everything we can to block this.

Itโ€™s a shame that so many Republicans vote for something they know will hurt their constituents & the country simply because they are afraid that Trump will threaten them if they donโ€™t go along with it, & they are more concerned about his vindictiveness than they are about them.

The Supreme Court just weakened a key civil rights law Ketanji Brown Jackson's dissent catches the GOP justices targeting a vital Reconstruction-era right.

The Supreme Court has imperiled the health of millions, denying Medicaid patients access to their preferred provider.

But Justice Jacksonโ€™s dissent warns of a secondary blow in the court's decision in Medina v. Planned Parenthood South Atlantic, one that threatens a foundational civil rights law.

Holy Crap. Just straight up looting at this point. Or like was already looting. But just bringing in a semi to haul out the loot faster.

Courts have already found some DOGE employees in violation of the law. Access logs will help reveal what data they accessed and what they may have taken with them. But thatโ€™s just the start. There are audit trails, metadata, network traffic, and backup discrepancies.

Look...millions will lose their healthcare. Many will lose their nursing home and memory care rooms since Medicaid pays for the overwhelming majority of those but look...having Great Grandma wander the house is good for family. They will forget all about it in a year and a half...right?

Trump administration scraps Biden-era plan to limit sale of Americans' personal data The U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is scrapping a proposal issued under former President Joe Biden that would have sharply limited the sale of Americans' private information by data brokers, according to a Federal Register notice issued Wednesday.

trump & MAGA gutted a Biden rule that would've protected your private data.

Why? Because letting corporations exploit you is โ€œfreedom,โ€ & people protecting us are the real threat๐Ÿ™„.

Who needs privacy when youโ€™ve got vibes & vengeance?

Enjoy more scam calls & getting your identity stolen.

SCOTUS clears the path for Trump's network of global gulags And the MAGA justices are burning down the judiciary in the process.
