Help raise awareness about the specifics of Trump’s Tax Scam by using our social toolkit. When people know what’s in the GOP’s dangerous reconciliation bill, they overwhelmingly oppose it — but a lot of people still aren’t aware of the details. We need to change that: app.sosha.ai/toolkit/trum...

TRUMP'S BIG UGLY BILL:
• Forces nearly a trillion dollars in cuts to Medicaid, the largest cut to the life-saving program ever by a factor of FOUR
• Gives ICE a larger budget than many militaries around the world
• Eliminates funding for green energy
• Strips healthcare away from 5% of Americans
• Kicks 11.8 million people off SNAP benefits
• Represents the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in US history

The Big, Beautiful Bill assigns each American a billionaire who will live the
American dream for you. You can check in on your billionaire at intervals and see how he is using your money. Maybe he's building a 19th pool. Maybe he's buying himself some formerly public land! Maybe he's taking a Supreme Court justice on a dream vacation! Maybe he is reupholstering the Statue of Liberty to hide the poem.

If Trump's DEFUND AMERICA ACT OF 2025 passes today, it'll go down as the biggest middle finger the government could ever give you When hospitals close and your bills go up, just know your REPUB Senator knew it would happen AND could've stopped it, but were too afraid of TRUMP DISGRACE!

Just awful: A 75-year-old man just died in ICE custody, ICE has revealed in a notice to Congress. But here's the rub: This man, a Cuban national, was first paroled into the US in 1966—nearly 60 years ago! They were set to deport him anyway. Details in my new piece: newrepublic.com/article/1974...

Don't forget the aim of cutting services and workers - it isn't to "cut fraud and waste". It is to make the services unsustainable to justify privatizing them. Which means your taxes go to pad the bottom line of for profit companies.

Trump's 3/27 executive order targets the Smithsonian for advancing "the view that race is not a biological reality but a social construct." Trump argues that the exhibit's statement, below, is unscientific. He's wrong. As a biology professor and population geneticist, I agree with every word of it.

“Race does not provide an accurate representation of human biological variation,” the statement reads. “Humans are not divided biologically into distinct continental types or racial genetic clusters. Instead, the Western concept of race must be understood as a classification system that emerged from, and in support of, European colonialism, oppression, and discrimination.”

“It thus does not have its roots in biological reality, but in policies of discrimination,” the statement says. “Because of that, over the last five centuries, race has become a social reality that structures societies and how we experience the world. In this regard, race is real, as is racism, and both have real biological consequences.”

cross-posting: if you have an iPhone, you may have pressed the power button 5x before. the phone vibrates briefly, you get options to call emergency services, power off, etc... this kicks the phone out of this AFU state. you can do it with the phone in your pocket. you should practice doing it

Notice how the ICE thug immediately moves to wrestle the phone out of her hand before doing anything else. Her being visibly on the phone implies they timed the arrest to be able to pull data off the device and ensure the device remains in an AFU (After First Unlock) state.
