I've been wondering where to find these! Thanks Scott! Well shoot! I just tried a couple of these and unfortunately they only go to my Senators who are both Democrats so they already know and agree with it all. I wish these went to my Republican Representative (who I do believe with be ousted in the next election). I did just write him to VOTE NO on the big bullshit bill, though!
📢 Grandparents, We Must Sound the Alarm: Our Tax Dollars Are Funding a Police State
Dear Beloved Grandparents,
It’s time we speak plainly.
As we sit around our kitchen tables, our children and grandchildren are being forced to grow up in a country that is sliding closer and closer to authoritarian rule — and we are being made to fund it.
⚠️ The Senate’s version of Trump’s “Big Beautiful Reconciliation Bill” includes massive ICE funding — funneling billions of our tax dollars into:
Masked federal agents in unmarked vans
Coordinated, abusive raids in communities across the country
The kidnapping of long-time residents — including legal immigrants — under vague suspicions
A growing federal police force operating with no transparency or civil rights oversight
This is not border security. This is state-sponsored terror, paid for by working Americans like you and me.
And it gets worse.
During a recent visit with El Salvador’s president, Trump boasted about plans to deport “homegrown” people — a chilling phrase that should strike fear in any true patriot. It implies citizens — born and raised here — could be targeted for political reasons, ethnicity, activism, or simple dissent.
Let us be clear: this is the language of fascism.
We’ve read about this in history books. Hitler’s party didn’t start with death camps. It started by vilifying immigrants, imprisoning critics, and passing laws that funded paramilitary forces while silencing opposition — all under the guise of “order.”
That is the road we are now on.
🛑 But we can still turn around — if we act now.
✅ Call your U.S. Senators and Representatives. Demand they vote no on this ICE expansion buried in Trump’s reconciliation bill.
✅ Support independent media — they are uncovering what corporate outlets are ignoring. Share, subscribe, and spread the truth.
✅ Educate your family and neighbors — especially young voters and those raised on right-wing news.
✅ Remind your communities: We’ve seen this before. We must never be silent again.
📣 Grandparents — we are the protectors of memory and the guardians of democracy.
Let us honor that duty now.
🇺🇸 Peaceful resistance. Public truth. People before power.
I am right there with you Grandma - I am an Oma. I lived in Canada for 50 years and moved to the States where I met the love of my life, an honorable veteran. He passed last year from the cancer that got him while he served in Desert Storm and Desert Shield. I have attended several rallies and it looks like I will be attending many, many more as the BS Bill has passed. If TACO and his minions thought they could force us into submission - they are wrong. I will NEVER stand down. I have 7 beautiful grandchildren and I will not stop fighting for their democracy.
This grandma marched in DC from 1970 on. No one arrested us even though Nixon wanted it. I will not stop telling every able bodied person to get out and march with joy & determination. ✊
Karoline Leavitt? Like Trmp's previous Press Secretaries, she must lie to keep her job. Whether she actually believes what she is saying doesn't matter, she'll be history (or maybe a Fox talking head) if she doesn't toe the company lie, I mean line. No integrity, or no brain, or both.
I know my senators are voting NO so I adjusted the wording in the emails to say "convince the Republicans to vote No", "remind the Republicans they work for ALL Americans", etc.
I saw that. So I sent my representative an email to remind the “Republicans they DO NOT serve the president or only the wealthy” and “DO THE JOB THEIR CONSTITUENTS ELECTED THEM TO DO, and that they can be voted out more easily than voted in.”
Just called Lisa Murkowski's office tel:202-224-6665 hoping she will pivot to a NO on Big Horrible Bill on the Senate floor this morning... Glad her constituents were protesting at her AK office!!!!!
Slashing Medicaid is this CR bill’s main focus. Medicaid is only available if your income is virtually nil, i.e., you prove that you are very poor. Republicans have not heard Blessed are the poor. We are responsible for these people. https://hotbuttons.substack.com/p/the-25-trillion-annual-deficit-plan?r=3m1bs
You know, it baffles me that all of these people who hitched their wagons to The Felon knowingly signed up to enter history’s Evil Villains’ Hall of Fame.
Where are you? I am here for well regulated capitalism, increased legal immigration, strict gun regulation, human rights for all including healthcare, education, housing, and a living wage, and I condemn republicans as a threat to democracy, the country, and its citizens.

Thank you for all your efforts to keep democracy continuing in our country!!🇺🇸🇺🇸💙💙🍁

Yes, from another Grandma that marched for our rights in 1971.
I am copying and sharing with my other Grandma friends.
This grandma marched in DC from 1970 on. No one arrested us even though Nixon wanted it. I will not stop telling every able bodied person to get out and march with joy & determination. ✊
Karoline Leavitt is the perfect figurehead for Trump’s idiocracy. Putin is probably proud.
Bullshit Barbie with her ostentatious cross. Talk about virtue signaling. 🙄
I call her Bobblehead Barbie.
He really does attract the imbeciles!
Karoline Leavitt? Like Trmp's previous Press Secretaries, she must lie to keep her job. Whether she actually believes what she is saying doesn't matter, she'll be history (or maybe a Fox talking head) if she doesn't toe the company lie, I mean line. No integrity, or no brain, or both.
I think she enjoys it. She smirks all the time.
She has serious issues. Dr Jack Brown did a body language post on Substack focused on the amount of deceit in her body language.
It’s amazing how similar her body language is to dumpypants & other narcissists in his admin. She has so many tells.
Come to think of it, everyone around Trump has "serious issues"!
I'm betting on a talking head role, since so many past ones are now in the Cabinet.
Any press secretary is a talking head role, but good guess.
Gotta love Maxwell Frost and Jasmine!! We will not go quietly without a fight. CALL YOUR SENATORS!!
I know my senators are voting NO so I adjusted the wording in the emails to say "convince the Republicans to vote No", "remind the Republicans they work for ALL Americans", etc.
Mine too. Yet it passed.
I saw that. So I sent my representative an email to remind the “Republicans they DO NOT serve the president or only the wealthy” and “DO THE JOB THEIR CONSTITUENTS ELECTED THEM TO DO, and that they can be voted out more easily than voted in.”
My representative votes NO on the biil.
Brilliant. Maybe everyone should call their Senators & tell them they will not vote for them next time.
Apropos Karoline Leavitt I have nothing polite to say.
Understood!
Just called Lisa Murkowski's office tel:202-224-6665 hoping she will pivot to a NO on Big Horrible Bill on the Senate floor this morning... Glad her constituents were protesting at her AK office!!!!!
No words can adequately describe this cold blooded lizard skank. She would have been a perfect Nazi camp guard.
Along with Kruel Kristi, & Bondi. All sadists like their masters.
Slashing Medicaid is this CR bill’s main focus. Medicaid is only available if your income is virtually nil, i.e., you prove that you are very poor. Republicans have not heard Blessed are the poor. We are responsible for these people. https://hotbuttons.substack.com/p/the-25-trillion-annual-deficit-plan?r=3m1bs
I think Karoline Lie-vitt must be an illegitimate daughter of Trump’s. They have a common trait. Every time their lips move, they’re lying.
I think Leavitt and all the rest of this ragtag regime are an absurd clown car of utter fools, the likes of which this country has never seen before.
Good one!
You know, it baffles me that all of these people who hitched their wagons to The Felon knowingly signed up to enter history’s Evil Villains’ Hall of Fame.
Some people will do anything to get their name in lights. Even make a bargain with dump the devil.
She needs to leave along with the rest including the Supreme Court.
Where are you? I am here for well regulated capitalism, increased legal immigration, strict gun regulation, human rights for all including healthcare, education, housing, and a living wage, and I condemn republicans as a threat to democracy, the country, and its citizens.
I'm with you!
Well that used to be American values, but...
How can this administration’ constantly get away with blatantly lying? It’s just crazy!
It really is Teresa!
