This. In high school I wrote for the paper and wanted to be a journalist. I quickly realized the majority of media was far more interested in selling news regardless of the truth and changed course. It’s a business, not a service to the public.

Agree with most of what you wrote with the exception of your first sentence. There are plenty of people who would do this country a service by “sitting their butts down” regardless of their age, but suggesting all seniors do is hurtful to those still taking up the fight and there are plenty who do.

I believe most Democrats are complicit in what is currently happening. Beholden to their large money donors, they are willfully choosing to sit on their hands. #votethemout

I’ve seen plenty of people on the left show a frightening disregard and disdain for the elderly even on this site. It doesn’t appear to be just a GOP problem but an American one.

I’ve seen TV dinners that looked better than that.

A friend of mine, some years ago, found a Social Security advocate. I’d see if they still exist and work with one if they do. Good luck!

Wait … which Americans are we talking about? I can think of millions of working poor that would vehemently disagree with this statement. And then the rest of us non-billionaire/multi-millionaires who are a medical crisis away from bankruptcy or worse. #letsbereal

Our system is broken and neither party is willing to fix it. My heart hurts for the working poor who are always in survival mode. We don’t need a resistance. We need a political revolution.

Reagan is the grandfather of Trumpism.

Poor losers. If you want to win seats, come up with policies people can vote for.

I love NYC. I had my first visit there last summer and it is a magical place and New Yorkers were awesome and super helpful!

This is the energy we need. We can’t rely on MSM, Congress or any “other” to help or save us. It’s on us and we are doing a great job!

We should consider holding some of our protests outside Fox. It’d be pretty hard to ignore then.

Or, the problem might be opposite of what you think. Senator Chris Murphy took 11 Bluesky posts 4/2,3 to explain what Trump is really doing with tarrifs. This doc has them consolidated with no changes.

Great questions!

RIP Val 😢

Those vulnerable Republicans have put their trust in Trumpism in order to kerp their jobs. I don’t care if they have buyer’s remorse. They can NEVER be trusted again. They have all failed the American people and not one of them deserves to be reelected.

Very nice!

This is bullshit. I’ve been in K-12 education for over two decades and teachers DO NOT profile students.

We will have to continue being vigilante from now and moving forward. If we sleep, they will pounce on these essential programs like the wolves they are. #Resist

I see things like this and a national divorce seems the only way out.

You can include every congressional rep and senator that enabled him too. They are willfully choosing to do nothing about anything!
