The so-called “One Big, Beautiful Bill” does more than slash access to Medicaid, it strikes at the very foundations of care, safety, and survival that many people rely on. It is a coordinated attack on those most impacted by systemic oppression. The passing of this bill is structural violence in action. AND YOU INFLICTED IT. The bill is a massive redistribution of wealth from poor and working class families to the uber-wealthy. It includes the largest Medicaid and SNAP cuts in U.S. history, and additional rollbacks that will gut social safety nets, defund essential programs, and deepen economic disparities. It supercharges Trump’s immigration detention and deportation machine, funneling billions into policies rooted in cruelty, racism, classism, and xenophobia while handing out massive tax breaks to billionaires and corporations who already exploit our communities. This is not just policy failure, it is MORAL failure. It is LEGISLATIVE ABANDONMENT. It is a public health disaster. It rolls back decades of progress in the fight for the rights, health, and dignity of all people living in the U.S. Over time, this bill will push many Americans further into the margins, force us out of healthcare, increase criminalization, destabilize and separate families, and lead to preventable illness and death. The passing of the bill is not about the federal budget, it’s about the values of our country. It’s about whose lives are seen as worth protecting, and whose are disposable. NOW WE KNOW WHO YOU ARE AND THAT YOU ARE AN IMMORAL FRAUD. WE WILL NEVER FORGET WHO ORCHESTRATED THIS HARM. We will not be silent. We will organize, we will resist and defy, and we will care for each other when the government refuses to.
