While you were told Congress was leaving until September, Republicans quietly rammed through a bill HR 1319 that could wreck your health care, wages, and retirement.
No debate. No headlines. Just sabotage in the dark. #DemsUnited #DemVoice1
2/8
They’re calling it “worker freedom,” but here’s the truth:
Your brother in construction? His boss could drop his health insurance, stop paying into Social Security or Medicare, and reclassify him as “independent.” He’d owe both payroll shares himself, or go without.
3/8
Your cousin the dental hygienist? Suddenly “contracted.” No unemployment if laid off. No sick leave. No union. No workers’ comp if she gets hurt.
She’s not “free”, she’s exposed, stripped of every protection she earned. The boss walks away, and she pays the price.
4/8
Your friend the office manager? Her employer opts out of employee classification. Now there’s no 401(k), no paid leave, no health care, no legal wage floor.
Federal law overrides state protections. California’s $20/hour minimum? Gone. Dropped to $7.25. No overtime either.
5/8
This isn’t worker freedom. It’s corp freedom to gut ur rights.
They ditch their obligations & u get stuck with bill. You’ll owe full 15.3% payroll tax, no employer share. That’s the plan They profit, you bleed. And they’re hoping you won’t figure it out until the deal is done
6/8
Fewer “employees” means fewer employer payroll contributions so less $ going into Soc Sec & Medicare. Which means it will run out sooner. GOP’s plan. You counted on that safety net, right?
They’re shrinking base that funds it. And when it collapses, they’ll say it’s ur fault.
7/8
And if you think Medicaid will catch you if you fall…think again.
GOP’s “Big Beautiful Bill” already slashed it to pieces & made it harder to qualify & maintain eligibility.
No job-based insurance. No Medicaid.
Just millions left stranded, uninsured, & broke.
8/8
This isn’t policy, it’s GOP betrayal. GOP screws over all, except the rich.
They waited until the spotlight faded, then jammed this through without hearings, headlines, or public input.
You deserve to know.
Because it’s not just someone else’s problem.
It’s your paycheck.

Isaiah is trying to sleep under the overhang of a shuttered post office.
He’s 53. Living with bipolar disorder. Diagnosed back when he had a job, an apartment, & a doctor.
That was two cities & three bad breaks ago.
Tonight, he’s sleeping on cardboard.

No shelter beds are open. Most nights they aren’t.
He’s wrapped in a thermal blanket from a church drive. His body aches from cold concrete. He’s exhausted, from the cold, from the hunger, and from being invisible until the moment he becomes a “threat.”
3/
A patrol car pulls up.
They’re not responding to a call. They’re responding to a ping, an AI surveillance system flagged Isaiah as “non-compliant,” using facial recognition and old records from ER visits, shelters, and police stops.
The system calls him high-risk.

🚨 Germany just led a massive global takedown of a Russian hacker network targeting critical infrastructure.
Meanwhile, Trump gutted every U.S. cyber defense agency.
We are 100% exposed, and yes, it looks intentional. H/t @SimsalaMaya

Russian group NoName057(16) carried out 14 waves of cyberattacks on EU, hitting power grids, defense firms, transit systems.
Germany, Spain, & 17 other nations responded.
The U.S.? Paralyzed. Trump dismantled our ability to even participate. n-tv.de/panorama/Behoe…
3/7
Trump slashed CISA’s budget by nearly $500 million, axed 1,083 cybersecurity jobs, and eliminated our election security and disinformation response units.
This wasn’t “streamlining”, it was strategic sabotage of our national digital shield.

If you’re fighting for democracy, here’s the truth:
🧾 Policy briefs won’t save us
📊 Facts alone won’t persuade
🧠 Logic isn’t enough

We need stories.
Emotional ones.
Ones that move people to act.

Here’s how to tell strategic stories 🧵 #DemsUnited #DemVoice1 Image
2/10
Disinformation spreads because it’s emotional. It’s not trying to inform, it’s trying to trigger a reaction. Fear, anger, tribal loyalty. That’s what makes it contagious. If we want to inoculate against it, we need emotionally truthful stories that stick before the lie can.
3/10
🔥 Step one: Lead with values and emotion.

Hope. Empathy. Belonging. Unity.
Don’t just say, “climate change is real.”
Say, “We want clean air for our kids. We want to protect the places we love.”

Emotion is the hook. Shared values are the glue that makes truth stick.

Outrage isn’t just a feeling, it’s a weapon. The right uses it to divide us, distract us, and dominate the narrative. It’s not chaos, it’s control. And while we’re reacting, they’re advancing. This is how the outrage machine actually works. #DemsUnited #DemVoice1
2/7
They flood the zone with panic and rage, screaming about CRT, crime, “groomers,” DEI, and immigration. These aren’t just topics, they’re emotional triggers. Outrage spreads faster than truth, grabs attention instantly, and drowns out anything based in fact or context.
3/7
Outrage bypasses your rational mind. It sparks fear and fury, keeps you scrolling and sharing, and makes you easier to manipulate. They don’t want you thinking or questioning. They want you emotional, reactive, and loyal to the people feeding you the outrage.

Disinformation doesn’t spread on its own, it’s built, refined, and amplified through a pipeline of coordinated roles. Once you see how the system works, you can’t unsee it. Here’s how right-wing disinfo travels from the shadows to your screen.🧵#DemsUnited #DemVoice1
2/8
🧠 1. The Architects
These are the billionaires, think tanks, and strategists who set the agenda. They fund the ecosystem, design the infrastructure, and shape what will be debated before the public even hears about it. They’re not messaging, they’re building power.
3/8
🧪 2. The Seeders
Seeders float new lies in fringe corners of the internet, 4chan, anonymous Telegram chats, obscure Facebook groups or low-traffic blogs. Their goal? Test audience reactions, provoke anxiety, and plant narrative seeds. If it spreads, it moves up the pipeline.

Only one of these women graduated magna cum laude from Harvard, clerked for Justice Breyer, served as a trial judge, appellate judge, and public defender.
Hint: it’s not the one the right calls “qualified.”
Let’s talk about the real DEI hire. #DemsUnited #DemVoice1 Image

Amy Coney Barrett is the one who never tried a case, never defended a client, and never served on a trial court. The right doesn’t care. She was rushed onto the Court to overturn Roe. That was the assignment. Ideology over experience. Loyalty over law. Power over people.
3/
Barrett was “groomed” by Leonard Leo & Federalist Society & handpicked by Christian nationalist networks. She spent more time writing about theoretical law than practicing it. She had no courtroom battle scars, only doctrine, privilege, & a promise to serve conservative power.
