Elon Musk has our tax information, and SS numbers. If you think your Medicare and SS are safe, wake up. They're robber Barron's, not Robin Hood. The steal from the poor to make themselves richer. Everyone who loves democracy and freedom better do something to save themselves, because no one else is.
How the Republicans could continue to steamroll our country after Angus King’s speech should worry everyone. Tens of millions are phoning state and federal lines: https://x.com/SenAngusKing/status/1887863898948395440
They will not rest until they have destroyed every semblance of FDR'S NEW DEAL, which they've hated since it's inception. Folks the enemy within is the Rethuglicans!!! They've showed you who they are.
Not one word uttered against the orange turd & musk, who are destroying the gov.
DEAR AMERICA
When trump won the first time, 1 Million women protested in DC. He's 10 times worse this time.
Are men waiting for trump to ban hair growth cream and dick pills? What will it take?
How about when trump bans all forms of contraception and abortion?
That means a lot less sex.
The SAVES Act, if passed, will disenfranchise 84% of women. Proof of citizenship will require matching birth certificate to identification, unless an expensive passport is obtained.
They are counting on Trump to make good on his promise that there will never be another election. Watch out to see if the pass the SAVE act which would disenfranchise about 70 million people, mostly married women. If the pass that they will cut SS for sure.
Republicans have been pushing for the privatization of social security and Medicare so their corporate friends wouldn’t have as much oversight and could collect fees.
We should have seen this coming when they started banning books, when Jan 6th happened, when trump quoted Hitler, when we saw that he had a cult. There were a lot of clues.
That quarter aren't the problem, those are the clueless that know they are clueless. If pressed to vote would split down the center. It's the clueless that think they are informed that are dooming us.
No, one is doing a damn thing ,
Americans have been too comfortable doing nothing.. not even voting
If you want them to fight its gonna take absolute devastation. they'll probably just keep watching TV and blame some innocent group of people.. They're trained to complain and do nothing
Women also have equal rights, which are protected by the Constitution. If they are deprived, I believe more people will file a lawsuit. Let him go back to study law first.
The republicans in congress must not have any relatives or loved ones who depend on social security or Medicare. They must not care about this country at all.
The republicans in congress could stop this attack but they are all cowards.
Their grandchildren will remember them with shame.
Let's keep in mind, these are politicians -- the most altruistic and honest people on earth. Seriously though, they'd eat a live child on television if they thought it would get them a buck. And people would still vote for them.
Soon to be gone freedom of belief, already announced Christianity nation religion. “The First Amendment of the United States Constitution prevents the establishment of a national religion” but just another stomping on the first amendment.
Lawsuits work! Stop these Nazi bastards by giving to organizations that hire lawyers to file & win lawsuits against our enemy: DemocracyForward, NAACP, ACLU, FFRF, LambdaLegal, PublicCitizen, BrennanCenter. Do more than post on social media: PICK ONE & DONATE NOW!
They work. some are being ignored, some are holding. Not all are going to SCOTUS and SCOTUS will not rule in favor of Trump on all that do. The least successful lawsuit will be the one that never gets filed. Keep the faith, keep suing.
They’re not done with human rights. They are working their way up to slave ownership via prison systems of anyone who doesn’t agree with them. Fucking depraved.
They are going to do everything in their power to keep people from voting in the mid-term election because they know what to expect, that is unless musk manipulates those votes as well.
I believe it will see retirement age extended at least to 70 and will suffer dramatic cuts. tRump and musk are eyeing that large chunk of money ripe for the taking that social security holds, it has been raped to fund wars and tax breaks for the wealthy for years.
TBH the current GOP is not the party that existed before. It is a Christian Nationalist Hate Group wearing the skinned face of the Republican party. Any true Republican is now labeled a RINO and shunned by the current party.
They could not even bother to vote when they knew that would put Trump in. So why do you think they would fight in the street? They get conned on a daily basis by Trump for 70 years, never said anything. He never honers any contract, he never pays, he takes what he can. He is above the law.

Sometimes complacency needs a kick in the arse. A side of me thinks it was long due.
Wait till their life long earned and much needed help is cut back.
FYI: Social Security payments are sent out on each month's 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Wednesdays... Feb. 12th is the first disbursement after Elon has infiltrated the government's paying system. Sooooo
They know they can’t do it lawfully via the constitution so they are unlawfully using musk. This was the dirty secret, fraudulent bargain between goo and musk all along. Even they have to know this is WRONG and shortsighted. They will rue the day they stood by and let this happen!
Heck they going to take it all. Gay marriage. Sex in general maybe. Maybe they bring back planking even :). Fuck a hole in a 2x4 for fun. Either way we r done. With SCOTUS stacked most anything is possible for his whims. That sharpie is viscous. #puritantimes are back. Witch burning commence:)
another sinister part of the pro life republican agenda is keeping marriage legal between adult men and children. please repost and/or call (or social media) pro life and republican legislators NOW and ask why they support archaic laws that allow them to exploit children.
i’m a lvl 60 disabled, cis white male that confronted them ALONE at PP for two years until 01.17.25. and these are direct quotes:
“14 is a good age for girls to be married”
“we want the ‘victim’ and the ‘predator’ to form a bond for the sake of the baby”
“come here alone again, you die”
I thought we had enough Americans who loved their country enough to not let this happen. Now we all have to get dirty cleaning up this mess. By any means necessary.
As a disabled senior living solely on SSA benefits, I am literally terrified for myself & millions of other recipients.
My SSA comes from 50+ years of working and is not - i repeat - *** NOT *** an >entitlement
I worked for every single penny!
Without it I cannot eat, buy my meds or pay bills. 😡💙
Sadly they are so indoctrated into the cult that they don't believe he's prejudiced they don't believe he's racist and they don't believe he's going to take away anybody's rights. SMH
All I do is cry now. Every damn day. I’m 71 and we finally got to a point where we could afford a little travel. With the loss of SS/Medicare breathing down our throats, we’ve cancelled all future plans. We remain prisoners in our own homes.
I'm in the same situation.
If Social Security and Medicare go I have no idea what the heck I will do.
Wouldn't have to worry long though, the lack of medical care will kill me quickly.
That is exactly what they intend. Hitler started with his own that could not produce any good for the nation. The old, sick, insane, deformed, queer, etc. They passed a law saying this and he killed a bunch of these nonproductive people and Germany exploded on him. Had to back up, it is on YouTube.
Similar here. Three adults in my household, two rely on Social Security. I was set to retire in a couple years but that is out the window. I've just given up on anything but continuing to work as long as I can or they will let me and spending nothing we don't absolutely have to.
Biden told us so they decided to mock him every chance they could and led people to believe he was senile and couldn't do the job. He's been working for 50 years in government and they discredited his experience in a few months to get a felon wannabe dictator elected 😡
I'm still very upset with my Reps from Illinois and Pelosi for being a part of it. Those are the ones who did it openly. They sold us out. 😡😡💔 Wouldn't vote for my House representative after that
And it would seem the American people are content to continue working until they drop dead in the vain belief that they too will become rich like the stars they worship, if they just worked hard enough. People die, politicians slap each other on the back for how much money the made and we all go on.
I don't know why anyone would have been surprised about the GOP taking away women's rights, they've been actively trying to for 50yrs.
It's just no-one thought it could actually happen.
There are already planning an assault on Social Security. Unless they are stopped millions of older Americans will be thrust into abject poverty. Exactly what they wants
Honestly, if we can't have Medicare for All I think we should end it too. After all medicare recips are Trump supporters who hate socialism. And if they try to claim they paid for it, they didn't, it's totally on the back of current workers.
Musk said he was going to take ss out by its roots. The GOP has tried for years to get their hands on SSI, absolutely they are going to gut it. Sooo you folks in The Villages are village idiots.
I knew from the start they were capable of all that and more. I was screaming into the void. I tried to educate the unteachable. I tried to get them to educate themselves about truth, but it was the wrong thing, too. So I had back surgery, instead. It's been almost a week. It's my 2nd one.
I’m waiting to hear he signed an executive order and now woman are no longer allowed to vote.
…not that any of us will be voting again anyway if he has his way.
It's already started! The SAVE Act that they are trying to pass stipulates that you cannot be registered to vote if your legal name does not match the name on your birth certificate. Most married women change their surname after marriage so they lack documents to meet the citizenship requirement.
This is primarily designed to hurt trans people - and I'm sure enough of the democrats will vote for it to pass. A part of me just wishes they'd try to kill us and get it over with.
I realize that is the point of the bill. Don’t think they’d mind if a bunch of us that vote democrat got caught in the crosshairs.
I have clients who are trans…or trying to transition. I will stand with you. Always...
SSA, Pentagon and VA are the big pots of money. They are working their way into them, but they will get there - unless we go to DC and stop them. Will people wake up and decide they must defend themselves. No-one is coming to help - NO-ONE!
Fukin Right! And women die. Sounds like good christian work, right? Kill the evil bitches who can’t find care. Watch them die in hospital parking lots. Back to the good old days, 60s! Right?🇺🇸
Bet you didn't realize how corrupt SCOTUS was when they said, Roe v Wade was settled law. The entire GOP and anyone that is still part of their constituency is complicit and corrupt
Been preaching this to my magat sister, but she's not worried. I didn't realize she has enough money that she doesn't need their social security money.
🤷♀️
Wow, I feel the Fear Trump, Musk and Republicans having betray their Senior Base of Voters with the Threat of losing their only livelihood would have on Seniors.😱😱😤😡🇺🇸
There are no “slippery slopes” here in US don’t be silly! Only slippery slope is taking away “all the guns” because the constitution says we all have the right to carry a 50 cal machine gun n Stinger Missile Launcher - get with the program, sheeple!
History is full of declarations by republicans wanting to eliminate any social provision: social security, medicare, medicaid. The list goes on and on. A look back to before FDR, you will see it in their voting records and campaign platforms.
Pushback, restraining orders, lawsuits and injunctions work! I will NEVER follow or amplify any account that tells us the situation is futile or hopeless. or encourages us to give up & roll over.
They will take it in a heartbeat, with the plan of ridding America of the elderly and disabled… and not caring about people like my sister…a COVID widow, left with a little boy. Social Security Survivor benefits doesn’t even cover her childcare while she works.
In the new USA, your remaining rights as a non-wealthy person are: the right to work to make value for shareholders and the right to go away and die in the streets when you can no longer exercise your first right.
I do too. I don't say that much. Hoped he'd never win, hoped it might somehow not be as tragic. But the dehumanizing, the type of rhetoric, it's not just to win an election, it's to make atrocity acceptable. There's just no denying it. Only, hopefully, stopping it

If it means running you into the dirt they will do it.
I want a commitment from democrats that they will wipe the floor with republicans as soon as possible.
Fuck this playing nice BS, you see how nice they are playing with you?
Many of the GOP know who put them in office - white seniors.

It's a bidding war amongst oligarchs to install the king of America.
Try democracy instead

no need for insurance when you can pay in crypto or cash
Democracy Now, Marc Elias firm is doing wonderful work daily, filing lawsuits and winning. 🗽⚖️🇺🇸
Needs to become a verb 🎬
We need to March FORTH👏
A mass protest on a Tuesday would get great news coverage 📺
Peaceful Protest is our right
Peaceful Surrender is our wrong

Why do we pay taxes?
1. To have a government that builds things individuals can’t build
2. To govern fairly and represent people safe
3. To protect us against enemies.
Which of these is the government doing right now?
The pledge with American people has been broken.
It's just no-one thought it could actually happen.
