Take care to report/block only the fake account! 1. Impersonator's account (hyphen in username) 2. Nevra's real account (no hyphen) Impersonator is DMing, trying to trick people into donating to *them* ‼️

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up. Tomorrow is the cloture vote. KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️ Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill. Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

I love to call my Senators' offices three times per week and try to cajole them into doing the most elementary political messaging and strategy. This is what it means to be an engaged citizen: leaving a strenuously polite voicemail for a 74yo on a more regular cadence than I talk to my parents.

If you're wondering why you haven't seen more organized disruptive action from Democrats at the speech tonight, I've heard from multiple people on Capitol Hill that House Dem leadership actively organized against any strong actions tonight. They are leading, but in the wrong direction.

We echo tonight’s winner, No Other Land: “We call on the world to take serious actions to stop the injustice and to stop the ethnic cleansing of Palestinian people."
The image shows a person holding a protest sign that reads "FREE PALESTINE NOW" in bold letters. The text is integrated with an illustration of a red flower with a green stem, where the stem appears to be forming part of the lettering. The background features a large crowd of protesters waving Palestinian flags and holding similar signs, with a stage in the distance displaying a banner that also says "FREE PALESTINE." The setting appears to be an outdoor rally in an urban environment, with buildings and an American flag visible under a partly cloudy sky.

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote. There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.
