With a partial government shutdown in effect and negotiations over immigration funding still unresolved, the question now is whether yesterday's #SOTU address moves the needle on negotiations—or hardens positions on both sides.

🧵9/9 FINAL STEP: Tonight and tomorrow, flood feeds with clips from these events. The goal is simple: when people open social media, they see the people — not the speech. Attention is a choice. Choose wisely.
#SOTU
🧵 8/9 After the speech: The Working People’s Response from the Working Families Party, presented by Summer Lee.

🧵 4/9 ACTION: Start promoting counter-programming now. Share graphics, toolkits, and livestream links. Tell your networks clearly: skip the speech and watch the people instead. Make the alternative impossible to miss. #SOTU
🧵 3/9 Instead of reacting, redirect. The most effective protest tonight is simple: ignore the broadcast and flood timelines with alternative voices and real stories from people impacted right now. Attention is power. Use it strategically. #SOTU
🧵 2/9 The #SOTU runs on one fuel: attention. Every clip, quote-tweet, and reaction expands his reach. Media coverage is guaranteed. Our participation is not. Refuse to amplify lies. Log off the speech and redirect your platform.
🧵 1/9 Tonight, Donald Trump will dominate coverage during the State of the Union. The biggest mistake we can make is helping him control the feed. Don’t hate-watch. Don’t rage-post. Starve the spectacle of attention. Boycott it. #SOTU
Huge majorities back real solutions:
73% support a path to citizenship for undocumented
immigrants already here (44% strongly).
72% support a path to legal residency under the same
conditions.
Policies should reflect what people want!
#SOTU
The American people are choosing stability over chaos and
opportunity over fear.
#SOTU
As the President addresses the nation, people are clear:
They want lower costs.
They want economic opportunity.
They want stability for working families.
They support practical immigration solutions.
#SOTU
Americans are still feeling economic pressure. Yet the people see an administration doubling down on deportations.
When families are worried about rent, groceries, healthcare, and job security, prioritizing mass deportations over economic stability feels misaligned with everyday concerns.
#SOTU
As the President addresses the nation, voters are clear:
They want lower costs.
They want economic opportunity.
They want stability for working families.
They support practical immigration solutions.
69% of Americans are saying the quiet part out loud 👀
We need solutions to rising costs, inflation, and the economy,
not more political theater around deportations. People want
relief. People want stability. People want real leadership.
Let’s focus on what actually puts food on the table.

And we call upon all corporations to protect the communities in which they operate, including their employees and customers, and refuse to be complicit in this administration's violence against our neighbors.
Congress must not pay for ICE and CBP’s atrocities. Congress should refuse to provide another dollar to ICE and CBP until the violence, abuses and deaths stop. We call on Congress to take immediate action to revoke the tens of billions of dollars already provided through Trump’s tax bill last year.
ICE must heed Minnesotans’ call to leave Minnesota now and stop terrorizing American cities and towns.
Any officer who kills a civilian must be held accountable through legitimate investigations and charges by local officials.
We stand with families torn apart by our cruel immigration system.
We stand with community members coming together in solidarity and love to support each other, protect our cities, and demand justice.
We stand with Minnesota, and we echo the demands of local organizers, including:
Our communities deserve safety. Our families deserve to be together. And we all have the sacred right to peacefully protest without fear.
We mourn Alex Pretti, Renee Good, Keith Porter, Geraldo Lunas Campos, and all those killed by immigration enforcement or while in government custody.
