Yesterday was challenging. Republican representatives cast votes that went against the interests of the people they serve, leading to consequences that could result in harm or even loss of life.
Our resistance community is strong and growing every day. Many of us are taking action daily to protect our democracy, even so the final vote for the BBB was devastating. Honestly, yesterday felt like we were losing and the fascist are winning.
And then I read this:
”In public, Dems should be going out of their way to attack this bill, from every possible medium and vector, from now until next November. But in Private, we should be extremely gleeful. This is now the albatross hanging around the GOP’s neck. They just voluntarily shot themselves in the face, by passing an historically unpopular bill that even their own base didn’t want. They gained NOTHING from this, other than handing Trump an arbitrary “win”, for a win’s sake.” Nevin Michael
Truth.
The GOP’s albatross is huge, iridescent and glows in the dark.
Spokane Indivisible is working on a plan
We are going to take this moment and use it as an advantage.
Educating our community is crucial, as only 8% of our residents fully grasp the consequences headed our way.
We will consistently inform people about the impact on families in CD5 when the budget cuts take effect in 2027.
The Big Betrayal Bill will be front and center until the next election.
Run an education campaign using social media, letters to the editor, advertisements in newspapers, and seminars.
Need to prepare for upcoming economic hits and challenges to their family’s.
In the meantime, don’t forget there are more of us than there are of them.
Today is Independence Day - Celebrate like it's 1999 - as sung by Prince.
“America was not built on fear. America was built on courage, on imagination and an unbeatable determination to do the job at hand.” - Harry S Truman.
We the people have courage, imagination and unbeatable determination to to the job, but more importantly…
We have the power!
Breathe. Resist. Rest. Repeat
