So… The bill passed? I mean… I’m not surprised… But like… there are still SO MANY PEOPLE who have absolutely no idea just how fucked we are. This will have decades-long repercussions. This isn’t okay. Ugh.

And the surprise i should feel is now completely dead. (Just one more thing that wrinkled butternut squash has ruined) Dont get me wrong i still like where i live, but now it just feels like a shell of itself.
Putin is probably jumping up and down, clapping his hands like a teenage girl at at Taylor Swift Concert at all of this. His decades long "cyber war" on the U.S. has worked. And he never even had to fire one bomb.
america has joined the likes of russia and north korea. The rest of the world watches with distain and disgust while the usa becomes the kkk. No one trusts america anymore. Good thing the nra has everyone’s back.
Which makes every election so damn critical. Dems can begin to shred this beast bill. Vote. Keep moving.
This might be the end of the USA as we know it. Meanwhile Kyle Rittenhouse is on a book tour, the Jan 6th insurrectionist are freed , Ice is pulling people off the street and Trayvon Benjamin Martin is still dead . WTF America is wrong with you.
Literally everything. MAGA is a disease. This country is sick.
MAGA didn’t make it sick. It capitalised on its many MANY flaws. How do Americans not realized how fascist compatible the US has ALWAYS been?
It might help to know that a number of the Jan6ers are back in prison and some have died committing other crimes, at least one is serving a life sentence still. 🤷♀️ Grains of sugar in a sea of vinegar, but it's something, I guess.
hey now don't trash on vinegar, it makes for a great ingredient in salads. these people are worse
It does, and I've called somebody out(jokingly) for disparaging the varied uses of vinegar. But I can't imagine enjoying enough to swim in.
hey, vinegar is a good home remedy to remove skin parasites. Swimming in it might help with the parasites that are called "Republicans"
I hear they can't breath through it, seems like something worth looking into.
Rittenhouse can actually write?
🤣🤣 we already know someone wrote it for him. Dude is an actual joke. Karma will be unkind to him.
May it hit the 🇺🇸 cult the fastest and hardest. I have lost all empathy, all sympathy, all caring. They voted for this. They been brainwashed to believe that it's patriotic to suffer for billionaires, so have it, folks!
When I die, which will likely be sooner now than the 20 yrs I expected to live, this will still bot be sorted out & millions will have expired all bc of bigotry, hate & non-voters.
Our country will never fully recover from the Trump Presidency.
It's like millions of Americans watched the Brits fuck themselves with Brexit and said, "Hold my beer."
Leave it to the US to outdo everyone else when it comes to ignorance and hate.
Our motto is bigger is better on everything..
Goodness gracious mercy me. No. My MAGA relatives don't know about Brexit. They're willing to suffer for the chance to make homosexuals and brown people suffer more.
No. They did THAT nearly ten years ago , by 'electing' Pussy Ass Bitch the FIRST time. This is another whole galaxy of enshittification.
Nah, we are going for a Soviet style collapse.
🤢😔😡
Pretty much. :/
Yeah, america is done. They keep thinking we have political leverage to spend, but this bill pissed it all away.
Time to get active politically.
Listen to the Substack I posted on Vought to understand why this is happening.
Let the lawsuits begin
🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
😢
I am not OK
Right there with you. :(
My slightly less calm reaction... bsky.app/profile/frac...
We need people to be angry. None of this is okay. We need real change.
And you ARE fucked. Sorry. 🇨🇦
I hate it here.
Sat with my neighbor who still doesn’t get it. He is not maga, but still refuses any other option. And he says “as long as my 401k goes up, and I can afford gas & food & to provide for my family, then I’m fine.” I said, “well this time next year, you won’t have any of those.” Blank stares back.
I feel your pain and frustration. Feels like protesting isn’t enough after this. Growing up in the 70s-80s, I never thought I’d witness the Domestic Enemy would be the “President ” who actually is just a reality TV show host and failed business man. Knows nothing about government or politics. 💙💙
It is truly sad.
Agreed.
Give it a couple months. MAGAs will start to understand.
Stealing this!! I needed a good 4th of July meme!
Spread it far & wide dear and have a nice holiday
You too!
ew ketchup
Mid-terms in 14 months. Impeachment in Jan. 27
bsky.app/profile/ogre...
More sadly there are so many people who support trump, who do not know that they are fucked
Unfortunately, this is just another day in Nazi America. 😢
Help me
I have made my deep discouragement known. At Trader Joe's they said how are you doing? I said discouraged! At the doctors office with my son... how's it going? Terrible! I'm not gonna answer positively. People need to realize we are in the final days of our democracy.
This is Trump and Stephen Miller’s wet dream of a fascist America.
They didn’t create fascist America, they just thrive on it.
The dumbing down of America!!! And just like the DUMBASSERY in the GOP …they agree to pass the worst bill in history- FOR A F-ING BAG OF SWAG!! The lamest emotionally disconnected mentally weak 🤡 USA COULD HAVE🤮🤮🤮
Lots of the orange-weirdo voters are fucked Tons of them!!!. They will have plenty of time (or not!) to regret!
They will find some way to blame Biden and the democrats some how…
Unfortunately, too many people bury their heads in the sand! They won’t notice until the medical cuts set in - in 2 yrs. Until it hits, they won’t believe it??? Ignorance is no excuse.
Well Trump came in broke the laws and changed the laws when/if we get back in we do the same to fix it.
the worst part is the majority of the country won't care right away, because if 10 million people lose benefits, that's 3% of the population (342M). So 97% of the population will not experience immediate changes. They'll probably just shit on those who did lose benefits.
I’m more worried about the short term with ICE and their planned holocaust.
Yes, that’s also a major concern. Short-term and long-term are both equally bad.
I want to cry every time I look at my children...just thinking what will the world be like for them? And I want to cry when I think about every single hard-working immigrant who came here not just to better themselves, but for SURVIVAL. God, please help us all.
RIP
Yeah, we’re all totally screwed! Does anyone here even know the concept of how economic growth negates debt and provides for everyone who is willing to work for it? Get out of this echo chamber and do a little reading.
I read the entire bill. You’re welcome to read it as well. But hey, no taxes on overtime, right? 🙄 www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...
I admit I haven’t read all of it. So, what’s the big problem with the bill?
It guts a LOT of essential services. Basically rolls back every environmental protection we’ve ever had. As others have said, massively cuts Medicaid and SNAP while making it harder to get both. For some reason, adds provisions so that small businesses can trade stocks? Essentially unlimited money
For ICE and the DoD. Money allocated for “missions to Mars” that no one asked for. Exemptions from limitations on writing off meals as business expenses. Loan limits for students. More military personnel presence at the President’s personal residence for some unknown reason. It’s absolutely absurd.
Think it just needs to be renamed "States of America" before it becomes "United Trumpland"!
I honestly won’t be surprised at all when he attempts to rename the country and tries to force everyone to recite the Pledge of Trump every morning.
You're right. I wish you were wrong, but you're right.
The most painful tax cuts will happen after the 2026 midterms. But the rich will benefit aone. bsky.app/profile/rbre...
Edit..benefit “now”. Darn iPad autocorrects in the most annoying glitch of a way
Oh they will. They won’t be able to ignore it any longer.
I hope you’re right.
I live in a very red state. People are waking up. They’ve had no choice but to. We need to not give up.
I agree, I’ve read lots of posts from people who think Trump is doing a great job. He’s today’s version of Jim Jones and of course, lots of gullible folks around. They should try getting off the main stream media and look at the news from the farming communities around the country.
I'm guessing the Rs who wanted to vote no were more afraid of Dear Leader's threats than of their own voters. The totalitarian regime of Donald I continues. Thank the Goddess that the Constitution has term limits, although I wouldn't put t past him to try and throw those out.
⬆️ this!! this!!😳
Unfortunateiy nany of your fellow citizens.. and I’ll just out it bluntly: are fuckn’ stupid
You’re not wrong.
Oh absolutely! My dad and sis support him last I heard. He's 66, hope he's not planning on a retirement package. She's 43 with 3 (4?) kids. Hope she's not expecting any kind of state safety nets or assistance in the near future.
Exactly 🎯
If they live long enough to have future plans. 😏
Karma
What he and his people have destroyed/accomplished in 6 months will take decades to come to terms with. Trying to figure out how and where to go/move as I'm not in the 1% club.
Things will end up turning extremely ugly when the realizations start hitting those that have to experience suffering before they wake up. This is a sad day for us all, but it is just another day, and thus another day of chances to make a difference and to help each other.
100% ❤️
No and you keep hearing that there’s a lot of people who aren’t even aware of this bill or the fight that has been going on this past month. THAT is why we are in this mess.
Oh my this is beyond deplorable. We are in uncharted territory
A good discussion of what's in the bill, when it goes into effect, how it passed, and what we should do in response... www.youtube.com/live/YD9yWQK...
Merde.
2026. We knew this going in. I’m with you, however. damnit
Wonder if MAGA will blame Biden when they can't see a Dr
Biden. Hunter Biden’s laptop. Hillary’s emails. Trans people. MS-13. Obama. China. Zelenskyy. They’ve got a grocery list of scapegoats. 🙄
None so blind as those who will not see.
Exactly. :/
Difficult to believe when you see it from outside. Looks like anything this guy proposes will go ahead. Americans will be sorry for long.
Perfect! MAGA IN A NUTSHELL!
Hollywood has been preparing you for this for a long time now. We've got this. It will bring us all closer to nature. Less pollution. More time to meditate on how there are no hospitals left.
If the MAGA family, living in the burned out car next to the burned out car that I'll be living in this Xmas, say ONE WORD about how unfair this all is, then mouths are going to get punched. I don't care that it's Xmas. ... just warning y'all. 😠
Some people in denial esp ones that voted for the monster in chief
We’re betting that 95% of the people don’t even comprehend how the MASSIVE DEFICIT the Repugnants voted for will affect their futures. All of everyone’s concerns are more immediate.
You’re absolutely right.
Your absolutely correct
Yeh, 900 pages of text is not blending with the American attention span of 47 seconds. In practical terms, your older friends and family left the restaurant and left you under 50 kids the bill. It’s about 2 years salary. They really appreciate it, and apologize for ordering the oysters nobody ate. 🤷♂️
You are so right😒
Ontop of this us brits have to watch out country build our defense budget back up to cold war levels, this isn't what we pay are taxes for!
Democrats should be immediately drafting legislation right now repealing all of this so once they take the house and senate they can pass it right away after immediately impeaching and convicting Donald Trump in 2027. Probably our best shot honestly
I work in a nursing facility. And a LOT of the residents are Trump supporters. It’s a damn shame.
I think it’s because they have nothing else to do but watch FOX all day long. My Trump hating Republican father watches the golf channel, Friends, Supernatural and Charmed all day every day and no longer watches ANY news. He says better to be uninformed than misinformed! He’s right.
I mean, actually though. I have a few residents here who wake up at 5:30am. Sit in their chair. Put their headphones on. Turn on Fox News. And stay there for 15 hours straight until 8:30pm to go to sleep. Every single day. The indoctrination runs deep.
Well I hope they all get what they voted for very soon and may they rest in torment.
This ⬆️
When we get a Democratic president Republicans will just blame them.
🎯
You know what's doing me in? How the past week or so has been all about "opposition within the R party" causing trouble. And yet, it seems every one of them but, what, four voted right along with the others. Now I have to wonder if those stories about infighting were just to lull us?
They were. Remember how many House repubs were like “I never would have voted for this if I knew what was in it”… and then it came back to them and they voted for it again. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 It’s all performative bullshit.
And we fucking fell for it just like we always do. Lucy promised to hold the ball, and we ran at it.
Exactly. 😑
I told my dad what is beneficial about this bill and he said he has no fucking idea. He said he hasn't paid attention. He doesn't know what's in it. I told him about everything that's bad about it and he doesn't even care 🤬🤦🏽♂️ The stupidity of this country I fucking can't anymore.
Honest question, can't the dems just revert all of it as soon as they get to power? Whether is legal to do so or not, fuck it. Just revert it.
I think the big question now is whether or not elections will still exist. Can they reverse it? Idk… I suppose anything is possible.
Yep
It's the people who have no idea that are a serious gut punch for me. Like how? How are you walking around everyday and have no idea what's happening? I want to scream.
It will gut punch them when they or Paw Paw has a cardiac event, and there is no nearby hospital to take them to, because their rural hospital that stayed alive via Medicaid is now closed, and the nearest hospital is 400 miles away.
Me too. :/
Sadly the disease they have chosen to live with is "Willful Ignorance", there are many causes and ways that it can spread.
So many people at living check to check and are struggling to survive. They don't have time to tune in. Poverty is a means of control.

Is that a newborn?
May 4. Seems to be growing daily. The picture was actually a week old.
Cute little guy!❤️
Tell Jimmy I love his precious face ❤️
I love Jimmy. Thank you for this. ❤️
Pretty much all we got till mid-terms. What’s your kitty’s name? We may need a play date.
His name is Wubz!
Jimmy is ADORABLE
Magnificent ears on Jimmy
Well he looks every inch of any Jimmy I’ve ever met.
I have never seen such a Jimmy looking Jimmy in all my days. Jimmy is adorable. Please give Jimmy a boop for me.
jimmy is great
2026, we change the majority in the House and Senate, begin the hard work of changing the laws.
My first protest sign Wake Up America They’re stealing our $$ and our democracy Probably got ridiculed and laughed at. I tried to find an ostrich emoji
The phrase “medical-care desert” comes to mind…In the first few months after the current Medicaid funding drys up, rural hospitals will begin huge layoffs followed shortly by total facility shutdown…the cowards in GOPland never cease to carry water for American oligarchs.
Will I have a job in 6 months? Will i be in a concentration camp in 6 months? The future is so uncertain
So, at the end of the day, Republicans fell in line, because Dear Orange Leader told them to do so and, since they have no spine, will do as ordered
America is gone. And it's never coming back. Trump and his masters actions are ensuring they will stay in power.
It's "losing" not "loosing." "Loosing" means you're releasing something. "Losing" means you lose.
Well, he did say he loves the uneducated. And we're full of them here
This is the kind of sociopathic shit ghouls like Stephen Miller think of, and old malignant narcissists , like Trump, with mere months to live, endorse. They are sadists. They are Anti-Christ.
But the worst of it won't kick in for two years. So that people won't get upset prior to the next election. Meanwhile the Social Security Administration is e-mailing seniors to tell them there is no income tax on Social Security now. But it turns out it's a lie...
Disgusting… they’re all sick in the head.
Yet somehow it's the "liberals" or "Dems" that will be blamed for the next 20 years. GOLDFISH memories only know what Fox tells them
More likely the repercussions are permanent, America is just plain cooked and the blame is on every American voter.
*whispers* do a secession
I get this, these thoughts and feelings
ugh squared, sigh.
If foreign nations notice how fucked up that bill is but even the own opposition is already slinking back to its usual "big speeches with sometimes strong wording but nothing else"-behaviour... ...you are fucked beyond belief.
And their base thinks 1: it will decrease the debt, and 2. They will blame democrats when they start losing benefits.
Every day, I wonder if we’ve hit rock bottom. Every day, it somehow gets worse.
There's still a long way to fall.
Yeah :/
We're in the Mariana Trench at this point
And traveling there in the Titan.
Been down all day. Hoped for the best and the worst happened.
You mean people didn't realize how screwed we are when they hired a Nazi to rule the country
Right?? 😅🥲
TWO DAMNN TIMES TOO!
The only silver lining is that ALL of the people responsible for this, will hopefully be written about in history books as the vile and evil villains who introduced fascism to the U.S. Including injustice Roberts, who is overly concerned about how he will be remembered.
😢 😭
Trust me, I don't like it any more than you do...but there's no further point in denying it, at least from my perspective.
Agreed.
1000%
Not celebrating! What is there to celebrate???
I have to work, and wouldn’t celebrate even if I didn’t. There is literally NOTHING to celebrate about this country. All I feel is anger and shame.
And 60 million people who were too busy or chose not to vote ..
Trump is a symptom of a much more widespread, metastasized illness. He is like a tumor caused by the MAGAtitis.
Well, modifying my message. The fascists have a temporary win. We need to be more than 13.4 tomorrow. Two to three hours out of your day. Keep safe. youtu.be/WcGQy6Vt6hY?...
Stay angry until November 2026.
There really are so many stupid people out there!
My favorite, from a couple guys I don’t talk to anymore, “I don’t agree with everything he’s doing, but some of the things I agree with.” Me, “which one’s don’t you agree with?” “The way he talks about others”. WTF!
I'm not surprised either...just disappointed. I'm grateful I no longer live in the US, but I worry a lot about my friends who still live there. I pray that, someday, God lets me punch a MAGA in the face or something.
Those clueless people are why the country has fallen to fascism in the first place. "Someone else will fix it" means nothing ever gets fixed. Millions of Americans will die because of this bill. It's murder. Plain and simple. They passed it KNOWING it will kill people. That's premeditated.
No one truly appreciates the fucking shit we’re in right now and it’ll only get worse. Mark my words.,
No it’s not but those stupid fucking people who voted for the Syphilitic Whale need to experience first hand how bad this is.
Shocking but nor surprising. This is horrible for so many people!
States need to exclude themselves from a tyrant an be more independent an move like they are a country. Ignore an deny then arrest anyone coming in our states not welcome.
Every vote can last for years or decades. This one will do a lot of damage for decades.
Welk, a lot of people won’t believe it till it hits them in the ass!
Now I have to ask can I bounce back from this shit ?
No one at my work knew except me. NO ONE!!! WTH?
Yeah… I live in a deep red state. 95% of my coworkers are MAGA.
I am in freakin’ blue as hell California!!!
This is seriously going over the cliff. 249 years of gains wiped out for regular folks so the wealthy can have more.
Spot-on 🫤
The Grand Oligarch Party fixed it, so their ignorant base won't find out until AFTER the midterm elections, just how much they are despised.
Unfortunately, Democrats have no idea how to fight and win. The No Kings march was great. ONE FUCKING TIME. No follow-up. No subsequent marches. The media forgot about it in a day. And Democrats sat on their thumbs and said "Oh well". Clueless.
Agreed. Apparently there are protests planned for today. It’s hard to say if they matter. I hope they do.
I'm glad you said "apparently" because I have seen nothing on the Internet until 5 minutes ago. Terrible publicity, but typically Democrat..
But it wasn't great for changing anything! It was a big show that equated to exactly nothing in terms of stopping the actions of the MAGA regime. It didn't stop this bill from passing. It didn't save anyone being kidnapped by ICEstapo. It didn't fix anything, or even move the needle in our favor.
Protests DO NOT stop fascists. Enforcement of our principles does. This isn't a civil rights struggle. This isn't a campaign to save a TV show or save the whales. This IS a Civil War and so far their side has fired numerous shots, killed many people, and taken many prisoners; We've chanted slogans.
How do you propose to enforce those ideals when our very right to speak about them is in danger?
Learn the history of Italy in the 20th century before you say that.
Italy is a hell of a lot smaller, and if I recall correctly Mussolini's fascists had to be fought in the streets to get rid of them.
The country's size is irrelevant. Marching constantly against Mussolini brought him down. Keeping the pressure on. Not letting up. Doing whatever it takes. Democrats would rather play nice.
The next years and decades are going to be ugly, not just in the US but worldwide. The gulf between the haves and have-nots is only increasing, and there will be massive violence and wars as the latter group demand a decent life from the former one who refuse to give up their privileges.
Fucked and not in a good way.
The entire republican party needs to be disbanded, NOW!
Maybe the Democrats will write more strongly worded letters while undermining progressives through their back room actions to stay on power. I’m sure that will fix things.
Decades, generations. It will take that long to figure out all the damage R's have done.
And sadly we can't do much of anything. Just stuck on this horrible ride and can't get off. World's pretty much fucked it's been fucked I think for a bit now The real question I've been asking at this point is when will the world end? That's a hell of a question. When is game over?
I wouldn’t even be mad at this point. Just give it back to the dinosaurs. We don’t deserve it.
Hell at this point I don't even know if the dinosaurs fucking want it they might be too disgusted of how much it's been ruined to even want to live here again. At this point. Let the court take back over and make the whole damn planet a fucking lava rock.
I’m ready for it. 🫡
Blame MSM for that. They still get fooled by Cheeto with petty little💩 that he pulls just in time to distract from what’s important. It should be wall to wall coverage 24/7. It should be on every billboard. Anywhere it can be for EVERYONE to see. Don’t let anyone forget. Especially MAGATs!
and then all those people who suddenly get impacted who didn't realize it would affect them get told it was the democrats' fault
I’m probably going to die next year because of this.. my meds are over 28k a month…
On the bright side, most of us will be dead by then.
At least there that. 🫤
There’s *
They better bury Trump at sea. His grave will be so desecrated.
I like to live in Australia, Everything good in Australia, Sucks to be in America, No one is free in America, Who'd want to live in America!
We all are about to find out we told them this would happen and they believed the cons.
There are PLENTY of republicans that should have to hear about this every single day for the rest of their pathetic lives!!!!!!
There are many, many stupid, thoughtless, uncaring people, some run your country I'm afraid. Some run mine too.
Unfortunately, a LOT of them run this country. I wish that weren’t the case.
It’s over, time to leave
The ripple effect will consume the entire world. Here in Holland it becomes ILLEGAL to FEED a ILLEGAL! Even a cup of soup is illegal to give. And can be fined or even jail? All while the world thinks Holland is the best place to raise children in 2025 :(
💙💙💙💙
That is WILD
How weird would it be if Germany liberates America in 10-25yrs from now? Crazy world.
Don’t wanna wait that long
Can they start tomorrow?
Liberate us now: please.
Yeah, if we're following the same timeline, it should come at least half a decade earlier.
germany would more then likely join in. germany projects very very progressive but the political roots are still rotten
Not just wild, it’s Wilders
*an* illegal
yes sorry, my English is not native.
I would just delete the post and correct it. Five years from now you will be consumed by regret if you don't.
No, Cause you can see I deleted stuff but won;t know what. That is far more damaging then reading a post with a typo.
And if you ever see me write in perfect english, then you know It's not me haha :)
A person cannot be legal or illegal, but their immigration status can be documented (which means they're here legally) or undocumented (which means they're here illegally). But there is no grammatically correct way to say "an illegal" because the word "Illegal" is an adjective, not a noun.
@Danielle, would this be the moment to delete as you suggested to me earlier?
Your dehumanizing statement used "illegal" as a noun. If "illegal" is being used as a noun (e.g., referring to a person who entered a country illegally), then whether to use "a" or "an" depends on pronunciation, not meaning or part of speech. Correct: "an illegal" Incorrect: "a illegal"
If "illegal" is being used as a noun (e.g., referring to a person who entered a country illegally), then whether to use "a" or "an" depends on pronunciation, not meaning or part of speech. Correct: "an illegal" Incorrect: "a illegal"
Awesome how we r discussing English, while it's totally off topic. In the end I don't care about this at all. I could look it up myself on the internet. But I won't. My English is not that bad that people can't read it at all. I managed to coop all my life in many languages :) Thx for the lessons.
Yet it seems like everybody knows what they meant. :) Also, who's to say it's not just the slip of a translator? I honestly know nothing about the Dutch language.😅
An initiative of the Dutch party "for Freedom". Fucking Nazis!
74.3% taxes on those earning less than $15,000 per year by 2029. Yes...if you ate not super rich, you are indeed fucked!
At this point the only thing we can do is try to destroy the government It is literally beyond fixing
Exactly.
The only people who believe otherwise are literal centrists Aka the actual worst people ever
They will find out.
I truly hope so.
. Republicans are the enemy of America and Americans. They are purposely out to hurt us, legally.
...and also illegally, let's be real here.
... not just America and Americans, but also the enemy of the entire planet.
It blows my mind how many Americans don’t get how deeply fucked the US is for generations!! Any American thinking it won’t take decades just to rebuild its reputation in the world is an idiot. Removing MAGA is going to take so much longer. You’re all so screwed.
Lol… Posts like this blow MY mind. We aren’t “deeply fucked for generations.” You sound absolutely ridiculous. I didn’t vote for the guy but these histrionics are insane.
Glad to make you laugh! If you seriously think everything that trump’s done thus far, including the reinstating of all the DOGE cuts, and international relations, can be undone in 5 years or less, please tell us what you’re smoking or drinking. The end.
Here’s a link to the bill. I read through the entire thing. I encourage you to do the same before you say we’re not fucked. www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...
Yup :/
Yes, we sane ones, know that
Sure. I’ve seen that one. But, no, not yet at all. See, trump voters are like babies learning fire is hot-they can’t be told, they need to get burned to learn. And that’s going to start by month’s end, as more clinics start closing in lieu of that bill passing.
With a group of women in their 80’s yesterday reckoning with the reality that we will not live to see recovery from the damage and agreeing to double our work to strengthen our grandchildren to remain whole compassionate people who can resist and recover.
youtu.be/O0RkOvyoo3Q?...
That’s the real problem. There are bad people. We know this. They’ll always be there. The issue is how many people are sleep walking through this. And we’re just letting it happen instead of rioting in the streets.
The plan is to kill as many non-white and middle /low income Americans so they can live happily ever after in their white supremacist wet dream. 🙄🤷🏼 Time to take our country back by whatever means necessary #RiseOrDie ⏱️
they are not going to kill them, they need slaves. The new masters are the same color as the old ones but the slave will be white, and a lot of them will be wearing MAGA hats
There are more white people on social programs than any other race in the US. A big percentage of those whites vote R & have for decades.They're about to have a really bad time in the coming weeks/months/years. It seems Republicans are going to kill their own base, as well. Zero long term strategy.
It seems like their entire long-term strategy is “brown person bad.”
Yeah, the same strategy that's always been around in this never really was great America but is now so much worse 🙄🤷🏼
I couldn’t agree more.
Time for war. No one should pay taxes like the 1%. With cuts to IRS they can’t get us all.
Even if they reverse course in a month, we won’t be able to restart these programs w/ full funding for YEARS. And they shutdown funding for other programs & agencies so fast. We’re going to see the same. I don’t know if I can stomach watching clients be turned out onto the street.
Exactly.
Aside from taking food out of peoples mouths and medical care, the budget for ICE is astronomical. With a quota of 3000 per day, what is the huge gestapo going to do when all of the brown people are locked up? Black, Asian et? Or because they have our data are they going after political rivals?Hmmmm
Yes to all of it.
US, you are going to the dogs, but you elected him, knowing full well what he was/is.
You support the Genocide in Gaza. You know full well what is happening in Gaza. You have gone to the dogs
You’re not wrong. It’s very sad.
What's worse is the cuts that will show even the most disengaged won't kick in until after the midterms so Republic will another 15 months to gaslight the nation.
They just change the narrative
Brexit 2.0... but supersized.

This is what happens when people believe the Republican propaganda and fear mongering about people who live a different lifestyle than them. ✌️
I'm talking with a bunch of people out there who are gungho about the 4th this year. People still think we're a free nation, when clearly we are not. No one should be celebrating the fact that our government let us all down and it now wants us all dead. The other half can't seem to stop it either.
It’s really, really sad. :/
Yeah. I'm still in mourning over it. Dressed in black today
If you continue having free and fair elections (and I am not sure you will), you can reverse this at the ballot box.
We have evidence Trump engaged in voting fraud to win. Voting isn't going to do a goddamn thing. And everybody's too much of a fucking coward to do the one thing that WILL fix this.
Just like in Nazi Germany, Putin's Russia, Mao's China or any other despotism.
That "If" is doing so much work... In fact, it might be the most work a single word has ever done in a single sentence.
It will likely take multiple elections and the deaths of most of those in our governments because they'll never willingly give up power now that they control all of it with impunity.
Exactly this ⬆️
The Bill was always going to pass, Republicans want to destroy America.
Fox and all the other lying maga forms of media they listen to, facebook and word of mouth from other maga friends
This “Big Ugly Bill” was de facto passed on election day Nov. 5, 2024 Elected republican congressmen do everything they can to help the very rich & large corporations. Any working person or small business owner who votes for republicans is very naive. Or, they are very. . . [ fill in the blank ]
I think you’re right.
1/ If Democrats can take back the house and senate they can reverse it if they have enough votes. Democrats should start lining up challengers RIGHT NOW for those in Republican seats and also someone should look at the worst performing Democrats and launcher challengers now.
2/ I think primarying the least popular and least effective democrats is important because we need strong fighters but we must do it carefully because it would really suck if newly selected Democrats losses his/her seat to the Republican challenger.
I believe wholeheartedly that the same way these laws keep getting ignored, the constitution keeps getting re-imagined, & the intentional destruction to various govt agencies has happened… It will be undone. An insurrection at SCOTUS BLG, would wake them up.
We have been set back over a 100 years as a country and society, very sad!
It is definitely not ok
Many of the people that don’t realize how fucked they are, are the same people that voted for it Remember them Make sure they never get reelected In fact, don’t vote for any GOP… They’re all MAGA extremist with no conscience and no humanity and no soul
I feel sick. I guess I was hoping someone would fly in and save us. I'm also not surprised but was praying. I hope the Republican Party is proud if themselves when people start dying and starving while they celebrate!
Looks like USR is following along the Titan aka oceangate.. loadsa warning signs but....
More than decades.. it will take that long just to get tRump's diaper-stench out of the oval office. America will never recover from this Republican administration. If I were the left, I'd withdraw from the next election instead of trying to clean up the mess that Republicans made. Fuck em'.
Unfortunately majority of Americans are in this mode 🤣
What’s the WH telling fux to say from now on?
They are going to listen when their insurance spikes, their economy drops out from under them, their food prices skyrocket, their long-time community members get deported, hospitals close, clinics close, jobs dry up... Some people have all the long-distance vision of armadillos.
i live in an area with deniers , when reality smacks them i’ll be there to say I told you so dumbass.
That comes to a related thought: we need to pull those people into the movement. As satisfying as it is to tell them to fuck right off, we need to radicalize those who are getting out of the cult.
Ignorance is bliss???
Abusive partners first sequester you from friends and family, like how we have no political allies. They steal your money, our taxes go up & a safety net is thinner. Then, they hit your health, like millions losing coverage. If you don't escape control, they will take your life, or deport you.
Have you read a single page of th ACTUAL BILL that was passed? Or are you, like so many others, getting your info fed to you?
I have, and here it is in its entirety if you haven’t read it. www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...
Yep that's the link to it all right. 900 some odd pages of legalize gobbledygook double talk and vagaries. All of which were throughly reviewed and critiqued and updated by the house in what 3 days.....right.
To answer your question, yes. I’ve read it. But the people who voted on it absolutely did not.
I agree. I don't think all the harm will be corrected within my lifetime. However, I'll fight until the bitter end.
Same. It’s all we can do. We are stronger together.
we need to march
Add that to the decades long repercussions we have not yet seen, just from slashing the Federal workforce.
Which are the result of the debt increasing so much which is a result of Trump cutting taxes and spending money like a drunken sailor his first term. The american people are the most uniformed people in the world
*willfully uninformed
Ugh. Yeah, that too. :/
I'm starting to think this is what it felt like on Krypton at the beginning of every Superman movie.
Apt comparison. :/
MAGA are clapping like riitarded fucking monkeys
They know. They don’t care
This is what yall voted for.....and the worst part is that MAGA honestly thinks he'll protect them....
Dems need to get to work and I mean real work to educate quick, fast and in a hurry.
The second best ammo right now. www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...
I saw some ignorant asshole on yahoo comments say “ if it doesn’t it directly effect you, it does not matter”. Yep, an adult wrote that.
🤮🤮🤮🤮
Democracy, or what’s left of it here in the “Good Ol’ USA”, requires vigilance, paying attention to what’s going on. Speaking up when/if necessary. If you choose not to pay attention/speak up, be active, so be it. You “gets what yuz pays fer”. So sad but so true.
There is nothing left of it. They have just signed death sentences for everyone who is not one of them.
I understand the emotion, but it's hyperbolic to say there's nothing left of it.
What’s left?
76+ million angry, but motivated people.
That’s not democracy. That’s not our country. That’s not our government and justice system. That’s not our rights. That’s not keeping us safe or out of prison. That’s not healthcare, food, or education. The very foundation of all of that is gone.
Disagree. It's your prerogative to choose doom/gloom and do nothing. Don't discourage others from it. Hyperbole and sensationalism help no one.
The country I grew up in no longer exists. That’s a fact. The government I grew up with and have to still teach about no longer exists. This country is no longer a democracy. Those are facts. And you just pretending they aren’t doesn’t change them.
Okay. Carry on believing what you want. 👍🏼
Well, at least you admit that you lied and the facts I stated are facts.
What do I say when explaining the Constitution and rights? The co-equal branches of government? Checks and balances? Limitations of powers? How do I say, with a straight face, that voters choose their government representatives to act on their behalf? Not one of these things is true anymore.
