Yes, the GOP budget guts Medicaid, SNAP and gives more tax breaks to the mega-rich — but it also:

- Lets Big Oil buy public land to drill
- 10 year ban on state AI regulations
- Tax break on gun silencers
- Restricts funding to nonprofits
- Defunds women's health organizations

Spread it far and wide.
WOW. Watch a constitutional law expert completely DEBUNK Republicans’ censorship crusade, while articulating exactly how Donald Trump is threatening freedom of speech. 🔥

A US-born citizen was walking near Chicago in January. ICE snatched him off the street, handcuffed him, threw into a van. His wallet, which contained his ID, was confiscated. He was detained for 10 hours before being released without a record of what occurred.

I decided to start a #thread 🧵 of stories about legal residents and tourists being (illegally) arrested, detained and/or deported by the Trump regime. I'll only post stories from serious sources, as rumors and conspiracies are really not needed in this authoritarian moment.
