Republicans just made canceling free school lunches their priority

3/4 house republicans belong to The Republican Study Committee

In their proposed budget, they seek to:
end the School Lunch Program’s CEP
end social security
end Medicare
end benefits for the disabled
and to lower taxes for the top 1%

So you’ll force women to have children but then you’ll force them to starve?

I’ll be clear. If you vote Republican then you disgust me.

"The impossible is only impossible until it becomes possible."

To those that say this is just the GOP's "dream list" and it'll never happen don't bet on it. They're pushing the "Overton window" so far to neoliberal authoritarianism that it's possible many someday will see these racial ideas as acceptable.

Democrats are corrupt but Republicans are monsters. Even those that publicly say they don't support the far right but are still part of the party. Enablers enable the monsters.

@brianbeeler we fight back by uniting. As long as we complain online alone, it’s like pissing on a wildfire. Only collectively, can we be heard above the clatter.

@damnkimberlee "we fight back by uniting. As long as we complain online alone, it’s like pissing on a wildfire. Only collectively, can we be heard above the clatter."

Perfectly said. Thanks for saying it.

So how to get started? Simple mutual aid in the form of a weekly pot luck meal with friends. Online is meaningless. Offline is meaningful.

Again, you're reply was perfect.
