They're 100% going to shut off Social Security which will trigger Mass protests which will allow Trump to initiate the Insurrection act and declare martial law. And then he won't allow elections to happen.
That is not a bet I would take...even if they try there is no real enforcement mechanism if the military is already siding with Trump in initiating an illegal martial law to begin with.
The nephew who told me I was foolish not to think Project 2025 was a hoax orchestrated by Democrats is now upset that his wife’s job is in jeopardy. I told him in detail how that could happen, but he would listen.
Now trump is threatening to hold back all SS payments unless the SSA turns over all of our personal information to Musk. Extortion. Trump is using this tactic on everything, universities, lawyers etc. they should not give in. Sue musk if he takes our private info.
No no, that was about baaabies and making sure women didn't murder their unborn baaabies. The government wouldn't murder our parents and grandparents! /s
Howard Lutnick needs to be hung by the balls. The smug SOB! @maddow.msnbc.com thanks for calling him out and showing the footage of him talking about ‘fraudsters’, and how they always make the mosr noise! Who does this describe? Hmmm, maybe the Orange buffoon our chief grifter?
TELL ALL! IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED RACHEL MADDOW YET TONIGHT (3/21)- DO IT NOW! IF YOU, OR A FAMILY MEMBER COUNT ON SOCIAL SECURITY, EVEN MORE IMPORTANT TO SEE HER SHOWING THE CRUELTY AND CALLOUSNESS OF DISASTER IN PROGRESS NOW FOR OUR SENIOR CITIZENS AND DISABLED- A 5 ALARM FIRE! BREAK GLASS‼️‼️
Jeff, I’m being told I’m hyperbolic and the cause of why America is fucked up because I’m not willing to accept an oligarchy. That’s on Bluesky. Obviously I’m taking credit for the conspiracy bullshit theories and it must have been a fever dream when I organized a coup on Capitol Hill.
They’ll rationalize it’s the left somehow. Then the maga military will care about their fatter paycheck more than the people they hurt because it doesn’t affect them.
They will say Obama literally rode into town in his tan suit and stole their SS checks out of their mailbox… and Biden was driving the get away car! 😵💫
I've been to several protests in my town. A medium sized town in Florida. Most of the protesters have been between 60 and 70 years old. Some older. We are worried.
And the same people that separated children at the border, want to snatch kids out of classrooms, dismantle the Dept of Education, ban measles vaccines and stop inspecting food.
If trump wants to play king let's name him Czar Nicolas Romanov. Who fell.
By 1938 Stalins USSR defeated capitalism. the bourgeoisie& oligarchy lost their heads. BernieAOC are not to be taken seriously. Just libs. Don't trust the liberals they will betray you V Lenin.
The billionaires in collaboration with the republican&democratic party. Will do this to all of us Peasants. Rich straight people of course will help. We need to make them afraid. There's over 346 million Americans. We can wipe out our problem. Urban guerella style.
Organization of a revolutionary movement from the homeless up literally worked for lenin Stalin& their party. It's the only that will work against the fascist uniparty. It's what needs to be done. Laws rules. Obience be damned. If voting did anything it would be illegal now
This is a potential crisis that demands immediate action. The consequences of inaction are devastating, and the time to act is now. Cut or eliminate SS, and the ground will shake as people rise up in protest. The masses will not stand by silently while their lifeline is jeopardized.
Anyone telling me to "calm down" is automatically suspect. Also, this shit is WHY I chose a salpingectomy, despite a lengthy wait, higher cost, and longer recovery time. I'm too old for this bullshit.
Fight your asses off dudes, because this is it. It’s the fight you were born to fight. Your kids kids will be born into this mess if we don’t clean it up.
Having an abortion isn’t as common as people collecting social security. Many of time to write letters, make calls and protest. Many even helped to end a war.
Social Security is done one way or the other. The only thing to do now is use this precious time to prepare for how we are going to respond. We will be in the streets at a minimum. Prepare prepare prepare. Save money don’t spend.
Kamala told u repeatedly! They wrote it all out for us. NO 1SHOULD B UNPREPARED( vs 1st 2 mos of Biden: GOT USA HEALTHY! Opened all schools & jobs! Gave U 2 CHECKS!In 2years HE GOT USA MANUFACTURING & INFRASTRUCTURE! Expanded NATL PARKS! No recession! Ungrateful MFers!)
And today, SSA Acting Director Leland Dudek made it clear that he, and Trump/Musk/DOGE are perfectly willing to HOLD OLDER AMERICANS *HOSTAGE* by threatening to "SHUT DOWN SOCIAL SECURITY" until they get their way. They "really don't care" (thanks, Melania - it is clear).
Philadelphia coming through!!!! There is now an official flyer for Orange Turd's visit to attend the NCAA Wrestling championship this weekend! 🙌 Everyone show up and Turn up!
I WILL NOT calm down about Social Security. I paid into Social Security for 60+ years and it is my only retirement income in my 80s. It was part of my work years and now allows me to have food and shelter and pay my bills.
Me either, I worked for many years as I raised four children, until I became disabled and I am now unable to work.
We need more people to say we will NOT calm down…Enough!!
⚡️ THE BIG ONE? I’ve been waiting for “the big protest” to happen. We need to build on all the great rallies that are *already* happening. Check out “Hands Off” events on Saturday, April 5 in DC and across the US. https://handsoff2025.com/
I'm not saying calm down but I am saying that the two things aren't remotely comparable. Overturning Roe was vile & repugnant but SSA shutting down would be like every disaster that's ever hit this country rolled into one...times 10.
People depend on social security. This will mean no place to live and nothing to eat. Then they will gut health care. This will killing people without using bombs.
Why doesn't anyone every tell people to calm up? Should we calm down, or should we calm up? That makes things a bit more interesting, don't you think? Calm down, sit down, eat peas. I'm with You buddy, enough already. #digitalfreckLe #bOnerPartS #peNisPuMP #cALMUP fuCk YeAH!
They make up lies to make anything alright. “We are just giving the power back to states”. “ Social Security is bankrupt”. A certain number of people will believe them, a certain number will pay no attention and most of the rest will accept defeat.
You’re right! It’s frustrating when people downplay significant issues. The same people who dismissed concerns about Roe are now trying to minimize the importance of protecting Social Security. We can’t afford to ignore these things, they directly affect our lives and future.
I really wish Roe was decided on bodily autonomy and freedom instead of privacy. Ruth, you were a genius, but damn if the freedom to pursue happiness isn't dependent on being able to control your life at such a fundamental level...And I am so far beyond calm.
They are also the same people that said Trump didn't know anything about Project 2025. To those that gave not yet read it, please do so & don't forget, the only Trump bumper sticker we should be seeing should read "DUMP TRUMP"
I heard that from my Financial Advisor. I asked him what he thought about Trump getting rid of the FDIC. He didn't know what I was talking about and I don't think he believed me.
Anyone who still underestimates Trump and his goons, or just blows it off that he's joking, or are so confident that what is said could never happen...are morons.
Once the SS telephone banks are inoperable we will be happy to have Wall Street running the new privatized phone banks. We just want a warm body explaining to us why our monthly payments are being reduced (stock in Tesla is tanking perhaps.).
I actually had a woman tell me to "calm down" here in Iowa because I had a hysterectomy and no longer need to worry. Are. You. Fucking. Kidding. Me. With. This. Fucking. Bullshit?????
I never understood that logic. I’m not going to support rights being taken away just because the offending government policy doesn’t affect me personally. You don’t pick and choose when to tolerate fascism.
the worst kind of people? are the ones who dont care because it doesnt effect them. we should care when it effects someone else because one day something will effect us or someone we love
Trump ended my part-time federal grant and review work. My remaining income is social security disability. I have chronic pancreatitis from a bilary duct defect. I cannot work full-time. I struggled working part-time, but I needed that extra money. I am a single mom. Trump took from my kid.
Omg I am so sorry you have to deal with that incredible amount of stress.
SS is my only income and I feel like I’m gonna wake up from
a realllly bad dream but..😩
Share your story, the democrats are collecting the stories of Americans that they can use to put a face to the demolition of the government. It can give them some ammunition in the fight. https://litigationandresponse.house.gov/
Buy one now. I predict that right before shit gets really bad (like social security getting cut off, elections being suspended), like a day or two before, they’ll find some way to put a stop to gun sales. Maybe something like making almost everyone fail a background check.
I don't remember a lot people saying calm down about Roe. As I recall, there was widespread panic when Justice Ginsburg died that that likely spelled the end of Roe. Abortion rights have been at the center of every Democratic campaign for 40+ years.
You can argue the use of abortion rights for political purposes has been counterproductive. Ever since the Reagan Administration, Dems have been warning about this yet Roe survived. The problem isn't people saying calm down. It's people not realizing that this time was different.
I haven't calmed down since fall of Roe. I am enraged and still think I am underreacting. I'll be damned if they take Social Security, or anything else. Hell NO! #Resist #HandsOff #April5 #Unite #FiftyFiftyOne #Indivisible
Trump: twice impeached, convicted felon, and found liable for sexual assault. His power comes from spineless, self-serving Republican enablers. Next election, choose leaders who work for the people. #VoteWisely
If SS payments are delayed even for a month, people will get delinquent on bills and never catch up. If they are delayed for two months, people won’t be able to buy food. Three months and they face being homeless. People WILL die.
I'm German, looking at the utterly underwhelming reaction of the opposition in the US I really understand now how the Austrian with the weird hairdo took over Germany.
Not to forget that he, too, was accused of a coup and not held to account.
At this point I'm seriously starting to entertain the idea that millions of Germans didn't really pay attention to the news for a decade and were genuinely surprised when allied tanks started rolling through town.
We Noticed!
Question do you think Cult
Followers ever realize they
love the same psychopath
Nazis,Putin, Orban & Every Enemy We Have
wanted their Homegrown Adolf
Too Win!!
So flipping true.
And calm down about the election.
So many people I know STILL telling me to calm down or they are COMPLETELY apathetic. Carrying on as if all is normal. All white, affluent men (of course) and women.
Many w/ daughters.
It is heartbreaking and exhausting. And disgusting.
Same for me. It’s broken my heart honestly. These are women I sat in circle with, we all said “down with patriarchy” etc now just going along like everything’s fine ffs
Do you think it’s fear of protesting? Do you think they feel hopeless? I’ve have been trying to figure out the apathetic attitudes of (dem) people that are just carrying on like everything is normal. I just don’t get it…
Well how many fucking times do you need to repeat history? They came for the immigrants they came for education they came for journalists YES they are coming for You TOO
Yep, they sure did and I never listened to those assholes to begin with. I saw handmaid’s tale coming true to life eight years ago and we are closer now than ever before.
Still, some people are unable to recognize "narcissistic abuse", or know what it is, same with "gaslighting". They'll fall for the same abuse over and over. Example⬇️⬇️⬇️
Indeed.
HOWEVER....Roe v Wade is more of a partisan issue than Social Security.
If the dictators mess with SS, they're disenfranchising a huge part of their voter bases.
We keep asking what it will take to shake up the cult.
THIS IS IT.

It’s crucial for everyone to be informed about the dangerous targeting of trans people that’s taken place here in Texas. One of our team members has been arrested due to her name change on her identification card.
people will report you since its not that obvious that you are satire, and people have made accounts like yours claiming they are satire when they really are just nazi's.

We will not calm down; we will fight to defend our democracy & this great country against Trump, Musk, Lutnick, Putin, & all the oligarchs!! Trump is a monster, cruel, inhumane and a convicted felon! He wants an uprising — he will get one! My family fought in 3 wars — we will fight again if needed!
The tragic fact is that lots of people have revealed they are going to have to suffer a lot more pain to be shaken out of their moral and political stupor.

God damn I hate this mother fucker
The Democrats should set up a fully staffed 1-800 number to collect complaints and explain who is to blame.
They could pay for it by firing their consultants.
Yea, those people....

It’s about “waste, corruption and fraud”.
They actually believe this bullshit.
Tell It Like It Is!
This #Lutnick Person-Is A Despicable Human Being!
We ALL Know Someone Who 1) Paid Into Social Security Their Whole Working Life , so 2) Has Earned Every Payment!
We ALL Also Know Someone Who Depends On Each Payment.
SHAME On This Heartless Lutnick Person!
I guess it tracks that so many of their marriages fail
But it's #LGBTQ who are ruining the institute of marriage
Not those MAGA fucks and their hypocrisy, lying, sexism, and being fucks
Could you pls help share my mutual aid

So who are these people telling me to calm down?
You can certainly argue that Dems have been ineffective in getting enough people to care, but that's not the same thing.
Not to forget that he, too, was accused of a coup and not held to account.
