This is not a budget bill, it is a debt and deportation bill—and one built on the fascist foundation laid by the Heritage Foundation’s now-notorious Project 2025. https://trib.al/K2EAuN0
The Republican Plot to Un-Educate America
Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” is an extinction-level event for higher education that would annihilate the country’s intellectual potential.

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple.
Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

Last week, I followed many Canadians who aren’t afraid to post about the current US administration and its wildly problematic behavior. Now many “suggested” posts for me are in French, which I am not fluent in by any means! Regardless, « Vive la résistance » to all the Quebecois using this platform!

We need more outspoken folks like @repauchincloss.bsky.social showing up for us!
The gaslighting from this administration is so strong, and their tyranny is so obvious.

Wow. Rep. Jake Auchincloss minces no words about Signalgate on Piers Morgan: “Pete Hegseth is lying to the American people, lying to Congress, lying to the military.” “It’s incompetence incarnate…It’s embarrassing & it’s dangerous.”
This is how it’s done.

I have to resist the urge to flip them off. I just laugh and eyeroll instead.

Mom of three here. Two of my kiddos are 18 and still enrolled in a school for Autism, with supporting IEPs. Their educators are amazing people and this thread hits home.
Very long 🧵 Please bear with me, I need to get a couple things off my chest.
I worked for a non-profit that provided educational services for children and young adults with behavioral and instructional needs. Think IEP’s, 504’s, home care support, behavioral counseling, school instructional aides,

Probably the most accurate explanation of all this.
The people breaking government right now do not expect these actions to have negative consequences for the country because they themselves have never faced negative consequences for any of their actions.
The idea something bad will happen because of something they did is unimaginable to them.

A gay guy, a Black man, and a woman walk into a flight deck— that’s not the beginning of a joke, but just a regular day at work! There was so much DEI on this plane that we could hardly get in the air. Luckily my limp wrists were able to wrestle the heavy jet back to the ground 💅🏼
