His tariffs are unconstitutional. His using the military to play cop on our streets is unconstitutional. But we don’t have a Congress right now, and this Supreme Court can’t be trusted to follow the law & the Constitution.

We’re in a very bad place.

2/ Poster image with heading: The shutdown fight is over healthcare. Bubble 1: The government shutdown is driven by Republicans in Congress and the White House refusing to extend funding for Affordable Care Act premium subsidies, and restore Medicaid funding slashed in the β€œBig Beautiful Bill.”
Bubble 2: The β€œBig Beautiful Bill” is set to strip Americans of $880 billion in Medicaid funding β€” driving up our healthcare premiums, lowering healthcare access and quality, and making us sicker and weaker. 
Bottom title: This would be a crisis for public health.

3/ Poster image with heading: The shutdown fight is over staff cuts. Bubble 1: A shutdown will force critical  agencies responsible for our nation’s health, safety, and environment to suspend or reduce essential services. OMB Director Russel Vought has openly threatened mass firings of career civil servants.
Bubble 2: The administration has already cut or retaliated against agency staff, from the CDC and NIH to FEMA and the EPA. This represents dire losses in scientific expertise and manpower for daily and emergency work.

4/ Poster image with heading: The shutdown fight is over research. Bubble 1: Republicans in Congress are also refusing to restore funding cuts to research across our scientific agencies. Pending the shutdown, research will also be stalled and scientific facilities and instruments might be suspended or shut down. 
Bubble 2: Right now, the Big Beautiful Bill aims to slash grant funding for the NIH by nearly 40%, and the CDC by half. This stalls critical medical and health research, shuts down labs and projects, and kills scientific progress.
Bottom text: This would be a crisis for innovation

With a shutdown looming, one thing is clear: this is a standoff over the future of science. Everything from science funding and research, to public health and wellness, to managing emergency situations will be affected by what our leaders decide to put first: people or politics.

There are widespread reports of ICE agents abducting people while masked, without warrants or identification. Due to recent events, we strongly advise: do not open your door or car for anyone you don’t know. That’s the message. No need to elaborate.

The Maui Kings day protest ended up being attended by over 4,000 people
It was very successful and I was struck by how many older people were there
All saying the same thing
That they were doing it for their kids and grand and gr grand kids
