How to stop the MAGA Murder Budget
Call it what it is: The MAGA Murder Budget, because people will die.
How to ignite the opposition on everything else: Simple messages in the same frame, over and over and over. Anat Shenker-Osorio is the clearest voice I have heard on this.

I think she is spot on on about everything. And on parts I question, I am likely to defer to her take because it is grounded in research and experience. YMMV, but if you agree please pass along in whatever social media networks you frequent.

Pass the toolkit onto them.
