Image shows a young white tailed doe with white patches on her head walking under pine trees. The overlaying text reads: I don't understand how so many people don't get it. If you vote to make some group you don't like suffer, eventually you will suffer. Vote kindness for everyone, always, and we all benefit.

Republicans are going to kill people.

Let's not use passive framing on budget choices like this.

Be upfront, like Ruth.
People will die.
Republican choices will kill them.
The image shows a quoted post. The original post is from More Perfect US and reads: BREAKING: House Republicans have released their budget resolution. They are aiming to cut Medicaid by at least $880 billion, and cut SNAP by at least 20%. The quote comment on the original post is from Ruth Mensch, esq., and reads: People are going to die. Disabled people are going to die. Your grandparents are going to die.

It took Trump 10 days to announce his first concentration camp.
We must not sit by while he tries to send immigrants to Guantánamo Bay.
Image is a tweet from Amanda Hu that reads: Just going to continue emphasizing that this, detaining a bunch of people who haven't been convicted of a crime and incarcerating them en masse in a fortified location against their will because they are part of a specific ethnicity or other group, is a concentration camp.

I genuinely don't care how you voted last November. What I care about is how we move forward. Opposing Trump's cruelty now is far more important.
I can't stay silent in the face of Trump's blatant fascism & oppression, and I hope, no matter who you voted for, that you won't stay silent either.

Protect Immigrants and Refugees. Protect All Minorities. Protect Medicare, VA, Social Security, and Social Services from tax cuts for billionaires. Protect the Poor, Working, and Middle classes from the Rich. Protect our Environment and Children's Futures from those that would plunder and pollute. Protect our Democracy from Fascism.

Image is a portrait of Elie Wiesel with text that reads, "Always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. By Elie Wiesel, Romanian-born American Jewish writer, professor, political activist, Nobel Laureate, and Holocaust survivor."

It's gonna be a long 4 years.
We have a lot of work to do. Stand up for each other. Resist bigotry & hatred. Speak up for those without your privilege. Protect our environment. Continue voting in every election as if our lives & our children's futures depend on it, because they do.
