But crude oil prices plummeted when they announced the “deal”…now what?

Peaceful, nonviolent protest. Demonstrate that there are tens of millions of us who oppose what is happening! It’s always made a difference when the people make their voices heard.

I do believe we are all on the same side. I voted for Prop 50 already, but we still face numerous other states gerrymandering for the midterms. This is why we cannot pin our hopes on voting out way out of this. Focus on action!

B.S. We need to take to the streets in massive numbers, now, or there will not be elections any more. No “small steps” or “strongly worded letters” or op-eds are going to do it. We need millions out there making their voices heard. It may already be too late, but it’s over if we don’t.

www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c... Go read through this. They HATE poor people, they HATE the idea that we need to mitigate climate change, they could not care less about our environment, and they want huge tax giveaways to corporations and the rich. Millions will lose health care. Deficit explodes.

So if they throw people off Medicaid, they still show up at the hospital - at the much more expensive ER. Even if they have no insurance they get care - who ultimately pays for that?

Elon Musk says that no one has died because he slashed humanitarian aid. I went to South Sudan to check if that's true. It's not. Meet Peter, Achol and Evan, ages 10, 8 and 5. The reckless actions of the world's richest men are killing the world's poorest kids www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Opinion | Musk Said No One Has Died Since Aid Was Cut. That Isn’t True. (Gift Article)
A journey through the front lines of global poverty shows that when the world’s richest men slash aid for the world’s poorest children, the result is sickness, starvation and death.
