by calling it what it is: The MAGA Murder Budget, because people will die.
From Anat Shenker-Osorio's Freedom Over Fascism Toolkit. The absolute best guide I have seen on how, and why, we must radically change our response:
Our narrative:
Americans across races, places and parties value our freedoms – but Trump, MAGA and Musk are running a regime of the bullies, for the billionaires. While Trump raises prices and bullies us based on our races, backgrounds and genders, his shadow president Elon Musk attempts a hostile takeover of our government. Now MAGA Republicans in Congress are pushing a budget bill to finance abducting our neighbors, ***robbing patients of medications, and denying families the food, education, and services we need. Our leaders must demand an end to this assault on the resources that ‘we the people’ created to care for each other and block the billionaires who want to take our freedoms, endanger our families and control our futures. Loudly we declare, #HandsOff and #FreeAmerica and demand not one vote for this budget of destruction.
***you can instead substitute the programs relevant to your work here, observing the rule of three and avoiding a lengthy list that will overwhelm readers.
Please take time to check it out. This is so important. And if you, like me, believe we must get clear on a true, powerful narrative, and repeat it over and over and over until we are sick of saying it, and then repeat some more, please pass it on through your social networks and to any electeds and leaders in your community who oppose the regime.
BTW, Anat was on the That Trippi Show April 18th, (episode: "If you want to touch a nerve, you have to touch a nerve " ). Give it a listen. I think you'll like what you hear!
