Trump legal aid cuts will slow courts, increase costs, former Ohio AGs say | Opinion Civil legal aid agencies return $7 for every $1 invested, reducing strain on courts, law enforcement and social services. Why would Trump cut funding?

Three former Ohio attorneys general agree: cutting LSC's funding is a threat to justice. Their powerful op-ed explains why.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

Hakeem Jeffries just now:
“We're not here to bend the knee to any wannabe king…

We don’t work for President Trump…

Mr. Speaker—as all of us prepare to cast this vote—I hope my Republican colleagues will come to the conclusion that we work for the American people.

We work for the American people.”

Title: The Big, Bullshit, Bill has passed. Logos for 50501, Voices of Florida, and Political Revolution are on the bottom of the image.

Text: This bill will be devastating to millions of Americans and immigrants. We will see prices for every day goods sky-rocket even more. People will die due to not having access to the medical care they need. With their new budget, ICE will truly become Trump’s Gestapo. Kidnappings and deportations of immigrants will only increase. More camps will be built. This only scratches the surface on what this bill will bring upon America. But, that doesn’t mean our work is over. Logos and websites for 50501, Voices of Florida, and Political Revolution are on the bottom of the image.

Text: Take a minute to take it all in. Scream. Cry. Whatever it is you need to do. Then, act. It’s okay to feel defeated. To be angry. To be terrified. But, it is NOT the time to give up. It is the time to fight ever harder. As said by John Lewis, “Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble.” Logos and websites for 50501, Voices of Florida, and Political Revolution are on the bottom of the image.

Text: The time for meaningful action is always NOW. Get out into the streets. Build and protect your community. Organize mutual aid. Hold your representatives accountable. Call out ICE sightings on social media, People over Papers, and ICEBlock. Donate to bail and immigration funds. Boycott companies who support MAGA policies. Educate yourself and those around you. And, so much more. Every act of resistance contributes to the cause. Our mission hasn’t changed. We must continue to fight for our democracy. Logos and websites for 50501, Voices of Florida, and Political Revolution are on the bottom of the image.

Now is not the time to despair. Now is the time for action.

This bill is a devastating blow against the American people. It will make retaking our democracy much more difficult.

However, our mission has not changed. They win when we give up. We must continue the fight.

Civil legal services play a vital role in disaster recovery by helping survivors navigate critical legal needs like housing and benefits. Hear one client's story of how LSC grantee Texas RioGrande Legal Aid helped her rebuild her life after a disaster. #LSCMatters

“No New Wars” turned into “Let’s bomb Iran” real quick.

It’s almost like the Trump regime is ideologically captured by the military industrial complex…

Op-Ed: Defunding the Legal Services Corporation will significantly harm Illinoisans

Cutting funding for LSC would devastate access to justice in Illinois—hurting veterans, seniors and domestic violence survivors. This new op-ed from Illinois Supreme Court Justice David K. Overstreet and LSC's Ron Flagg lays out what’s at stake.

Wesleyan University president says Trump's antisemitism fight doesn't protect Jews Michael Roth, Wesleyan University's first Jewish president, says the Trump administration is using antisemitism as a "cloak" to get universities to be loyal to the president.

Michael Roth, Wesleyan University's first Jewish president, says the Trump administration is using antisemitism as a "cloak" to get universities to be loyal to the president.

It was never about antisemitism From abducting college students to an attack on a Jewish governor, Trump’s real motivations remain clear.

“Being an American Jew is a mindfuck. And now we’re in more peril than ever because the destruction of this country’s university life and the lives of university students is being done in our name.”
