*KICKS OPEN DOOR*

Look, I know posting a cloud of darkness on your dashes is frowned upon, but I know this might not get a ton of attention because it involves a budget so let me break down this horrendous budget bill so you don’t have to.

FROM THE ARTICLE ITSELF:

-”The departments of Commerce and Energy would see major reductions in funding, with programs under their jurisdiction either being eliminated or transferred to other agencies.”

-”The departments of Transportation, Justice and State would see significant cuts and program eliminations.”

-”The Corporation for Public Broadcasting would be privatized” (THIS MEANS PRIVATIZING PBS AND AS SOMEONE WHO STUDIES COM I CAN’T BEGIN TO EXPLAIN HOW HORRIBLE THIS IS)

-”the National Endowment for the Arts and National Endowment for the Humanities would be eliminated entirely.”

AND FROM THE MARY SUE FOR EXTRA GOODIES

-”other big cuts include entirely removing the office dealing with Violence Against Women.”

-”Other DOJ cuts include the complete elimination of the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services” (looks into police brutality)

-”reducing funding for its Civil Rights and its Environment and Natural Resources divisions”

-”eliminate the Office of Electricity, eliminate the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy and scrap the Office of Fossil Energy, which focuses on technologies to reduce carbon dioxide emissions”

YEAH. SO THAT IS A THING. 

MAKE A SHITSTORM ABOUT IT.

DO NOT LET PEOPLE LOOK IT OVER CUS OF THE WORD “BUDGET”.

This is absolutely sickening
