Why r they allowing everything to be cut that us low income working class folk depend on? How could they let 16 million ppl to lose their medicaid to stay in or the cuts to food assistance to stay in but take out something about electric vehicles? How do they care more about that but less about us? Why am I even paying taxes if I'm going to get nothing back for it? I mean if you're rich like why do you need tax cuts you are rich! It's not fair Medicaid helps me in so many ways I can't even tell you like if I lose my Medicaid I could lose my life!

Call over and over and over. All office numbers for every Republican Senator are on my spreadsheet. Make those phones never stop ringing. 

Use/share this spreadsheet as a resource to call/email/write members of Congress, the Cabinet and news organizations. Reach out to those in your own state, as well as those in others. Use your voice and make some “good trouble” ❤️‍🩹🤍💙

📢 Grandparents, We Must Sound the Alarm: Our Tax Dollars Are Funding a Police State

Dear Beloved Grandparents,

It’s time we speak plainly.

As we sit around our kitchen tables, our children and grandchildren are being forced to grow up in a country that is sliding closer and closer to authoritarian rule — and we are being made to fund it.

⚠️ The Senate’s version of Trump’s “Big Beautiful Reconciliation Bill” includes massive ICE funding — funneling billions of our tax dollars into:

Masked federal agents in unmarked vans

Coordinated, abusive raids in communities across the country

The kidnapping of long-time residents — including legal immigrants — under vague suspicions

A growing federal police force operating with no transparency or civil rights oversight

This is not border security. This is state-sponsored terror, paid for by working Americans like you and me.

And it gets worse.

During a recent visit with El Salvador’s president, Trump boasted about plans to deport “homegrown” people — a chilling phrase that should strike fear in any true patriot. It implies citizens — born and raised here — could be targeted for political reasons, ethnicity, activism, or simple dissent.

Let us be clear: this is the language of fascism.

We’ve read about this in history books. Hitler’s party didn’t start with death camps. It started by vilifying immigrants, imprisoning critics, and passing laws that funded paramilitary forces while silencing opposition — all under the guise of “order.”

That is the road we are now on.

🛑 But we can still turn around — if we act now.

✅ Call your U.S. Senators and Representatives. Demand they vote no on this ICE expansion buried in Trump’s reconciliation bill.

✅ Support independent media — they are uncovering what corporate outlets are ignoring. Share, subscribe, and spread the truth.

✅ Educate your family and neighbors — especially young voters and those raised on right-wing news.

✅ Remind your communities: We’ve seen this before. We must never be silent again.

📣 Grandparents — we are the protectors of memory and the guardians of democracy.

Let us honor that duty now.

🇺🇸 Peaceful resistance. Public truth. People before power.

In Solidarity,

Clarissa Sr, an American Grandma
