Let’s look at U.S. Rep. Lloyd Smucker’s latest campaign finance reports, where he disclosed more than $1 million on hand as of June 30 between two PACs. 🧵⬇️

On a day's notice, 500+ of us in Lancaster, PA got together to tell Rep. Smucker (PA-11) and Trump to take this bill and shove it!

“Socialism for the rich” “Robin Hood in reverse” This is messaging that could break through the big beautiful mental block that obstructs the minds of 31% of 2024 voters who voted for this and maybe even the 36% who couldn’t be prevailed upon to vote at all.

A new AFL-CIO report shows that 179 million people with health insurance through work will pay up to $485 per person more in health care costs each year as a result of Medicaid and Affordable Care Act cuts in the budget reconciliation bill. aflcio.org/about/advoca...

Indivisible Manheim Township hosted an information session & panel discussion today with PSEA representatives at the MT Library to shed light on what Lancaster County schools can expect financially with the elimination of the Dept of Ed & cuts to Medicaid.  Many thanks for the valuable information.

This is how it's done, folks. When Republicans won't talk to their own voters, hold events and educate your neighbors about what's at stake yourself 👇

Very encouraging. Keep showing up! bsky.app/profile/henl...

Indivisible MT had a packed house today to learn more about how cuts to federal education funding and Medicaid would impact our local school districts.

p.s. Since people confuse hope and (toxic) optimism: www.resilience.org/stories/2023...

“Part of our work as people who dare to believe we can save the world is to prepare our wills to withstand some losing, so that we may lose and still set out again, anyhow.” --Julian Aguon “Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.”—James Baldwin

As Mariam Kaba said, "hope is a discipline." As Václav Havel said (well before he helped liberate his country from totalitarianism), “Hope is … is not the conviction that something will turn out well but the certainty that something is worth doing, regardless of how it turns out.”

Doomerism is libs' and lefties' way of obeying in advance.

The Democrat who just flipped a very Trumpy seat in Pennsylvania’s Senate made opposition to Elon Musk front and center in his campaign. (lancasteronline.com/news/politic...)

🚨 🚨 Special Report: The Destruction of Public Schools Consider what’s happening in Ohio and other states a sneak preview of a horror movie, produced by Trump, Devos and Linda McMahon. A deep dive into how Ohio’s system of public schools has been decimated as property taxes go up:

Dismantling the Department of Education won’t give states more control—it will defund and destabilize public schools. States already oversee most of public education, but federal support ensures students have the resources they need.
