Here's my #HandsOff #protestsong from last Saturday.

(I tried to post a vertical video that I made but it needs to be under 3 minutes so I'm going to have to record it again without the double chorus at the end so it fits. I'll post that here later!)

LET THEM EAT EACH OTHER
We should not congratulate Tucker for this. But if the far right thought leaders are fighting amongst themselves, this is a good thing. Trump will slowly get more of the far right to deviate from his agenda, which will bog down the awful things they want to do with infighting

Scott Fitzgerald voted for Trump’s big, ugly bill, then he praised it.

Call his office now to say this was a terrible vote: wisdems.org/toolkit

And, folks in WI-CD5 - vote Fitzgerald out!!!!

There’s nothing beautiful about a bill that slashes health care, increases hunger, and lowers the income of every American earning less than $51,000 per year.

OPINION: There’s still time to kill Trump's 'big, beautiful bill'
The bill cuts Medicaid, impacting millions of Americans, including children, seniors, and hospitals, and slashes SNAP funding.

What. The. Fuck.
Under Trump's new rules, veterans can be refused care by individual doctors just because they are unmarried, are registered Democrats, or identify as LGBTQ.

VA is for ALL veterans, not just whoever Trump says.

Every Senator needs to demand that this policy be reversed.

I just got a survey from my Republican assembly person, and one of the questions was whether or not I support this language. I applaud what @govevers.wisconsin.gov is trying to accomplish, but I would much prefer "gestating parent" - better connotations.
