Despite what Elon Musk says—Social Security is NOT a Ponzi Scheme. Social Security is a PROMISE that the American people should be able to count on after paying into it their entire lives. Repost if you agree.

Genuinely appalling and revealing how much more thorough, thoughtful and well-researched the videogame speedrunning community has been in evaluating Elon Musk's claims than the tech press or DC political press youtu.be/z1ykCc588Zw?...

By not calling it a coup, the mainstream media is failing to communicate the gravity of what is occurring. By @rbreich.bsky.social

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

If Joe Biden released a statement repeatedly getting the name of one of his appointees wrong Sean Hannity would anchor special coverage and the NYT would publish 5 op-eds questioning if he should be in assisted living

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978? 100%? 500%? Try 1,085% Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

The devastation on its way is unimaginable - like nothing humanity has ever witnessed before - and everyone will wish they had been climate activists and ‘hysterics’ when they had the chance. We are in a moment of unprecedented stupidity

Jeffries: In our nation's history, 25% of our nation's debt was accumulated during the four years of the former president, 25%. How dare you lecture America about fiscal responsibility ever.

The fact that I know more about Fani Willis’ and Nathan Wade’s relationship than I do about the crimes committed by Ginni Thomas and Clarence Thomas shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

The New York Times’ Maggie Haberman said in September: “I think that the media does a very good job covering Trump.” Wrong. Coverage has shown insufficient alarm. Normalization. When Trump’s fascist enforcers terrorize and/or arrest journalists, will Haberman still think it was “a very good job”?

Jesus Christ! Vindman is a hero who helped protect America from an attempt by Trump and Kremlin agents in Ukraine to steal the 2020 election. I know because I wrote a national bestseller on this This is the co-President of the United States threatening to kill him. Things are going to get so bad!
