A budget should reflect our values. This one reflects cruelty.
The Senate just passed a budget that:
❌ Slashes Medicaid & food aid
❌ Gives tax breaks to billionaires
❌ Triples immigrant detention funding
Tell your reps to #stopthecuts: ppls.ac/stopthecuts

📣 Today in 1975, Chicago housewife and @pplsaction.bsky.social cofounder Gale Cincotta testified to Congress about banks' refusal to lend in low-income neighborhoods. This led to two federal laws, #HMDA and #CRA, to end bank redlining. We must protect these laws and our communities - #getthecrooks!

🔥 Jose Vasquez of @commondefense.bsky.social is right: "We are not going to sit by and let two billionaires tell us how our tax dollars are going to get used." Trump and Musk want to fire 83,000 VA staff, which will cut care for millions of veterans like him. 👉 Thank you for your leadership Jose!
