GOP: Reduce the debt!

Repeal Trump $2.1T billionaire tax cuts?
GOP: NO!

End Corp welfare?
GOP: NO!

Audit military budget?
GOP: NO!

So reduce the debt how?
GOP: Cancel Vets healthcare, Meals on Wheels, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, SNAP, school lunch, & Title 1

Today is the 161 year anniversary of the Compensated Emancipation Act. On April 16, 1862, Washington D.C. paid reparations for ending slavery—to the enslavers.

Yep—white supremacist enslavers got reparations for giving up the people they enslaved. The enslaved got nothing. Ever.

To this day the enslaved or their descendants have received zero reparations for building the foundation of America under centuries of enslavement, torture, rape, & murder.
#ReparationsAreOverDue

As Texas Gov Abbot prepares to pardon a white man & convicted murderer for killing a peaceful BLM protestor—Texas sentences a Black man to 70 years in prison for “spitting at police” to “make an example out of him.”😳

Systemic white supremacy is thriving in the GOP. Horrific.

The doors were locked.

The teachers were armed.

TN expanded firearm access.

The police arrived in minutes.

Covenant school had everything that MAGA GOP assured us prevents & stops mass shootings. And 3 babies & 3 adults were murdered in seconds.😳

IT’S—THE—GUNS

Today on the first day of Women’s History Month I learned that after no fault divorce was finally legalized in 1970, female suicide rates dropped 20%🤯

The "strong 1950s family unit" that the GOP is nostalgic about ignores record high female suicide, suffocating domestic violence, & zero female financial autonomy.

But maybe that's GOP's goal all along?🤔

1869: Congress refused to seat Congressman-Elect John Willis Menard from Louisiana District 2 b/c he was Black

Today: SCOTUS approves extreme gerrymandered Louisiana map that gives Black people only 16% rep even though they’re 33% of voters

Systemic white supremacy alive & well.

Duggar family on abortion:
•2013: Abortion is “Baby Holocaust”
•2015: Rally against abortion!
•2020: March for Life!
•2023: “Due to complications we had a procedure to remove the baby & pretend it isn’t abortion.”

Healthcare for me but not for thee. This is the right wing movement in a nutshell. Revolting hypocrisy, which apparently is the point.

Jessa Duggar Reveals She Suffered a Miscarriage: 'I Just Immediately Started Crying'

This year, a 30-second Super Bowl ad costs $7 million.

The average K-12 public school lunch debt is about $22,600.

To Rev. Dr. Jacqui Lewis' point, the cost of that Jesus ad could pay off the lunch debt of 310 schools.

As Christians, we need to walk the walk. This ad isn't walking.

What would you say if the nation’s leading newspaper focused on how the illiberal leader of this hypothetical German state who was banning Jewish voices and was ruthlessly pursuing his authoritarian agenda was, in fact, taking on the “establishment” and successfully building “his brand”? 8/
Seriously, what would you say?
