The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific. If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

we're not throwing trans people under the bus for any fucking reason. None. There are two sides: the one that throws people under buses and the side that does not. Choose which one you are on.

A federally funded database helps track long-term, missing-person cases. Yet an NPR investigation finds that even in states legally required to use it, more than 2,000 people haven't been added.

The victims were trapped in a tractor-trailer without air conditioning during the summer of 2022. (via @texaspublicradio.bsky.social )

I just realized that this video has over 2,500,000 views. It is an assiduously patient explanation to anti-LGBTQ right-wing "Christians" about what a "bible-based" marriage *really* is. Glory! www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFke...

Despite that worry, I cannot stop standing up for what is right. I cannot turn a blind eye to injustice. I cannot ignore what Trump is doing to our democracy and our country. Or more precisely, I will not. So, I won’t. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/i-wo...

We have overcome near-death experiences before. We shall overcome this one too. Not by denying we are in a constitutional crisis. We are. But we can and will prevail if we face the truth unflinchingly and never abandon the long twilight struggle against evil. open.substack.com/pub/roberthu...

thehill.com/regulation/c... I don't believe Justice Roberts had a "come to Jesus moment" but rather when he granted trump immunity, he always held steady that he wouldn't have more power than the courts... My my... see how that's playing out now John?

Im betting Roberts has the equivalent of several Thomas type RVs hidden in caves in properties in Yellowstone, properties granted to him by Trump.
