In the, apparently increasingly likely, event that someone doesn't receive their Social Security benefit I would recommend that your first stop not be trying to call SSA directly. Report it to your local Congressperson or Senator's office, using their website constituent services form if possible 1/

A useful cheat sheet “I never unfriend people over politics” (h/t; mastodon.world/@BrianJopek/...)

Palm fronds are habitat for birds like these ravens and roadrunners who are currently nesting inside these palm skirts. Borregans are reluctant to cut all their palm fronds all the way to the top. Ideally we could leave the top part for habitat and still avoid ladder fuels.

Trans kids are beautiful and amazing and I love each and every one of you. You're going to grow up to change the world.

In America, EVERYONE has a RIGHT to due process - regardless of immigration status. It’s fundamental to our Constitution. Deporting hundreds of people in secret by invoking a wartime proclamation is a blatant abuse of power by President Trump.

The richest man in the world and de-facto co-president is giving Nazi salutes, why are we still hearing about poorly worded signs at campus protests

BREAKING: A court overturned Ohio's ban on gender-affirming care for transgender youth. This is a critical victory for trans rights.

State Sen. Justin Eichorn, R-Grand Rapids, was arrested Monday for allegedly soliciting a minor for prostitution. The Bloomington Police Department said detectives communicated with Eichorn “who thought he was talking to a 16-year-old female” and detectives then arranged a meetup on Monday.

Guy gets hundreds of responses pointing out that his "Dems should just be Conservative-lite" strategy is what the Dems literally did in 2024 and lost on, so now he's gotta pick these fights to feel better instead of addressing any of those people. Incapable of reading smh

Dems literally ran on being the law and order party, Kamala bragged about owning a gun, Biden deported more people than Trump did in his first term, and they still lost

Brave people, speaking up now, knowing tomorrow could be too late.

Remember, the demand in 2020 was to abolish ICE. After the election, liberals went back to brunch, did nothing about it, and attacked everyone that brought it up. If they had been real allies, this wouldn't be happening. You know who voted to create ICE after 9/11? Joe Biden.

every damn time

BREAKING | Protesters in Los Angeles shut down traffic, joining the nationwide movement demanding the release of detained Columbia student Mahmoud Khalil.

And again WE AINT GOING BACK we meant that part. On big sandals 🩴 period.

Fun fact: all of the resistance to nationalized healthcare in America is grounded in this kind of sentiment. Additionally, all of the resistance to other public welfare programs is also grounded in this sentiment. If it would provide a measurable benefit to Black people, white people will sink it.

if you want a frame for anger at elected dems right now, you could do worse than this. “we trusted you when we wanted more in 2018; we trusted you when we wanted more in 2021; and, ultimately, you failed, and we still want more but no longer trust you”

Whenever anarchism — or hell, any idea more radical than the status quo — gets dismissed as unserious, it's worth remembering governments run on things like "the imaginary racist couple an aging politician consults on all his decisions" pretty much constantly.

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

NEW: 17 pages of letters testifying to Mahmoud Khalil's character from his friends, colleagues, and teachers—some Jewish storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Schumer Saves Cloture Denial in Case He Needs It for Final Boss hard-drive.net/hd/video-gam...

My sincere prayer is that each and every day of Chuck Schumer’s life is the worst day of his life.

I've seen it in person, the Tesla got tagged but the statue did not

gentle reminder that when you make jokes about chuck schumer on here, your friends who are sitting US senators will see them, but chuck schumer won't, because he's going on a month long paid book tour across the country

Still one of my favorite sticker series in the city. Reasons to survive.

When I said I was worried about Tyranny I meant the government doing mild health insurance reform. I have no problem with them illegally snatching and disappearing people

Massive crowds in NYC are growing and not letting up, demanding the immediate release of Columbia student being kidnapped for protesting for Palestine. "We want justice. We say how. Free Mahmoud right now!" #3E #USprotests #NYC #EndOligarchy

this would be genuinely great news a reminder, if this happens: call your Senators back and thank them for voting no here it's important that not only do we yell at them to do the right thing but we thank them for doing so in the hope that they will keep it up

"Can you articulate your vision of the future in a way that other people can see themselves?" I mean, YOU certainly couldn't, so that's an interesting question for you to ask babe

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121

“The Great Gatsby is dated and irrelevant.” You’re right. What could a novel about a generation of young men becoming hustlers and white nationalists because they were sold a lie about the American Dream possibly have to say about our current moment?

A top economics reporter goes off script on national TV: “I am going to say this at risk of my job, but what President Trump is doing is insane.”

Rodrigo Duterte is accused of crimes against humanity for an estimated 30,000 deaths during his tenure as Davao’s mayor and as president of the Philippines. Here’s what we know about Duterte’s war on drugs aje.io/ubwu40
