I’m praying for comfort for those grieving and strength for those still searching.
And I’m praying this administration makes good on every promise they’ve handed out —not just in headlines, but in actual help:vouchers, credits, shelter, food, water. #TexasFloods #DisasterRelief #AccountabilityNow

Where's the "i voted for this" crowd? Maybe spending time and energy on legislation that matters is important. It would have made a bigger difference than arguing about making schools hang the 10 commandments in classrooms.

We’ve had catastrophic floods before. We didn’t always lose this many lives.What changed?
NOAA gutted. NWS sabotaged.
FEMA politicized.Science replaced with spectacle.

Trump’s Big Ugly Bill sells out working families. Republicans in Congress are rushing to pass this bill, which slashes Medicaid and the ACA, ripping health care from 17 million people. In Texas alone, more than 1.6 million would lose health care coverage and nursing homes will be forced to shut down

The governor is rejecting $450 mil meaning that 3.8 million Texas children will go hungry. He’s not acting alone. In Congress, Republicans are jeopardizing food assistance programs that help hard working Texas families put food on the table. It’s shameful. www.houstonchronicle.com/politics/tex...

Write. Call. Email. Speak the truth.

They’re afraid—that’s why they’re avoiding us. Their silence isn’t proof we’re powerless. It’s proof we’re getting through.

If you can do more, do more.
If you can’t, do this.
Just do something.

We are all we’ve got.

Call. Write. Email. Again. Again. Again. Even if it feels futile. It’s not. They hear us—that’s why they’re hiding. That’s why they’re saying the quiet parts out loud. No one’s coming to save us. It’s on us. Harass them like your rights depend on it—because they do.

ICE is largely not ICE - They are bounty-hunters.

Early in January the administration started contacting bounty-hunters offering them $1000-$1500 per immigrant.

I think what we keep seeing is likely a mix of bounty-hunters and militia.

It would explain outfits, masks, aggression, no badges

In 30 days, LGBTQ+ youth will lose the life-saving suicide hotline—a program that’s supported over 1.3 million young people.

When folks are in crisis, this admin chooses cruelty over care—every time.

But this is the party of “family values,” right?
Trump administration to shut down LGBTQ youth suicide hotline
The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline will no longer utilize its LGBTQ youth service line starting July 17. The Trump administration says the move will "focus on serving all help seekers."

This kills me. As a mother I just want to comfort her. Fuck you ICE. How do you sleep at night?
A young girl in Mississippi is sobbing after her parents are taken by ICE.

She bravely tells her story through tears and how she feels terrified her innocent parents are gone.

Where will she sleep, who will feed her, where are her parents.
