I know it doesn't feel like much to be proud of right now, because we're nowhere close to done.

But you deserve to know- in the middle of all of this, we ARE making history right now.

That's why the right keeps sniveling about how they're under attack. Even while they're successfully pulling off another purge.

They're not used to getting yelled at when they blow taxpayer dollars on witch hunts, they're used to getting high-fives at the country club.

When you know what the US has been about this whole time, that really puts the current moment in perspective.

We've been up to some ugly, ugly stuff. And it usually gets either silence or applause.

2025 is a whole different animal. The response has been strong and immediate. We had *preemptive* mass mobilization.

By millions of people who *aren't* being targeted by raids, jailing, and deportation. (Yet. πŸ™ƒ)

That's never happened in US history before. This is different.

Hello Americans on Mastodon, I know we don't feel like there's much to celebrate this July 4th. It's been a rough several years.

So I want to talk about how we're making history right now.

If you're in California, here's all the rapid response orgs to push back against ICE tearing apart your community.

You'll need these numbers. Share them.

Alright, this took way longer to make than I am willing to admit. But the fact it didn't exist bugged me.

I wish I could say "Happy 4th of July" but I don't feel that way when Congress just passed a $150 billion budget for ICE, bigger than most military budgets worldwide. More arms for Trump's brownshirts.

Also $25 billion for a "Golden Dome", Trump's attempt at repeating Reagan's Star Wars boondoggle.

Meanwhile NASA gets $10 billion, and NOAA gets $700 million.
