The moment I think most Americans will be rising up.

Thoughts

Depends on the judge, in a nation that is suppose to be ruled by laws of the land. Throw away laws, watch everything collapse , to begin with all of our companies because they can’t work in this much corruption. See Russia.
So up to you baby Doge ..Talk is cheap, and stop whining.
They aren't obeying laws. I look at it as my right not to either.
Musk has no authority to get into SSI accounts.
Stop the grift
..

If my, and other 83 y.o. mom's
get jacked by these jackals
they best start sleeping
with one eye open.
Congress would def step in. Trump would never go this far and risk it all. He is just attention seeking as usual.
The republican members of congress are all making money hand over fist so they don't care and the fucking democrats are too busy wringing their hands and listening to Pelosi and Schumer. Congress can't/won't do a damn thing
Don't rely on congress. Muck is buying them off to the tune of 6k each. Congress is dead.
Yeah dude please vote this is a big deal!
Too much apathy. People will make angry posts on social media and then go back to watching their TV shows.
"Sat in the corner watching TV
Deaf to the cries of children in pain
Dead to the world, just watching the game
Watching endless repeats, out of sight, out of mind
Silence, indifference, the ultimate crime"

- Roger Waters
Yes - there will be people With nothing left to lose.
I don't think that Trump can legally stop SS so this would be another loss for him in the courts and he knows it but it would seriously screw up the system and that is all he is trying to do.
Non American here...

But yes. Please show us there is a counter to the maga cult.

All i'm seeing on my end is travel warnings and boycotts against the US
Protests are happening all over the country, the media just isn't covering it
Agreed
You can follow me if you’d like, I try to keep posting the upcoming protests
Done 👍✅
The media isn't showing all the protests and marches.
Seen the Anti-Tesla rallies. Keep that up! 👍✊

Oh hell yeah!
He is pushing for a revolution
We need a massive amount of people on the streets if that happens. Think Serbia on steroids.
I just had my knee replacement surgery so this senior is ready to march!
👍🏻👍🏻
I guess Mom and Dad will be moving in with their kids, that might make them rise up.
What if they don't have kids? I don't.
Or they will be living on the streets. Imagine 75million on the streets begging for food. And not just elderly but also disabled, blind, children, widows and disabled.
What will the protest look like with older Americans, disabled Americans, and widows and their children in the streets? Maybe the media will cover this. Maybe.
I know they would cause it will end up on YouTube and TikTok
The blind too.
Abuse of power. Abuse of office. Flagrant disregard for personal privacy.
Hey DonOLD Felon 🍊🤡, you aren’t a king even though you think you are . You don’t get to take social security and Nazi Elon doesn’t have the right to anyone’s personal data.
Go ahead. And watch the first "old fart" coup happen faster that a walker on ice!
They seem to keep poking the bear. Those ol' farts don't like to be poked. 🐻
Well, let's release his data first. Someone please give his personal data to hackers. Turn his world upside down. Bonus points to do the same to muck and the doge boys.
Social Security and Medicare belong to the people who have paid “their money” into it! So “we the people own Social Security and Medicare”- not the US Government or President. So Trump and Musk may be able to pillage other parts of our government, if Federal Laws permit, but NOT SS and Medicare!
Agreed. Red and Blue states RISE UP!!
Protest! 🔥On April 5, we’re uniting to say Hands Off!

DC and Nationwide (more locations still being added)

Bring friends 🌱💕🦋 to fight back against Trump/Musk power grab.🔥🙏

I read your message and thought, ooh I wonder if the shite-wing are wising up, so I took a peek and, well, guess not 🤦

Musk is wrong and stupid, you ignorant MAGA girl.
@maddow.msnbc.com
This would bring MILLIONS out in the streets. Unreal 🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵😖😖😖😖
Let's hope.
It'll be too late...
That mf does not need our personal information for anything ever.
So, trump wants to hand the FAA communications contract (currently held by Verizon) over to STARLINK? A company who has already proven that Elon will shut it down when not appeased.
These REAL GRIFTERS need to start grifting their way out the door. That's my thought.
Holy lord! 😡 Only a civil war can stop this sick man, both of them.
Go ahead make my day.

It's time kittens. They want to see how far they can push, well I think it's time we show them the door.
Stop the SS payments. Stop them. I triple dog dare you.
😠
Yes,for people to get mobilized there must be a spark …
Exactly! A catalyst!

Again his stupid steeple power hands. Gavult.
Triple dog dare him! FAFO!
At this point my faith in Americans is about two out of 10. What the F will it take for people to get off their asses &fight back against this administration. I go around NYC, where People are pretty hip. Bars are packed, restaurants are crowded and everyone’s in a state of denial or don’t give a
I'm armed and motivated.
I was thinking the same today
Americans (for the most part) are too pampered. It’s coming, but it won’t be until the real pain hits them personally. Until then, heads are deep in the sand. It’s really surreal.
Damn. It’s kind of weird.
Yep, Americans have been spoiled. They've become comfortable. They don't remember the civil rights fight, or Vietnam fight.
The American way is to take a pill or have someone else fix things for them. Just fix it.
The buck has finally stopped with them and they are clueless
"Wisconsin man still supports Trump after newlywed wife arrested and detained by ICE"

Never underestimate the hold of the orange Kool-Aid.
Well, WE WILL STOP PAYING FEDERAL TAXES ASSHOLE!
How do you do that, when employers take it out of your check automatically??
You up your number of dependents on you W-2
Maine caved. Columbia U caved. Paul Weiss caved. Everyone selling their souls to this devil for $. So muskrat will get his data.
Those people are insane! "If you don't give us what we want, we'll withhold SS checks from EVERYONE until you do." Sounds like terrorism to me.
Sounds like a dare to me
You are what you eat
You might want to get some more training into effect
That's tight, Elon
I guess he's thinking about his next meeting with his boys
See... he's telling us right here who is
Comment image
See what he's doing with his hands he is making an old thing that we used to do when somebody else does the same thing with his hands and put them through like an asshole. He's really just saying he's an asshole.
This is what bullies do when they don't get their way
Yep, if this isn’t the line nothing else will be.

I’m not sure if they’re truly ready for what touching social security will do to them.

This “king’s”reign may be over after only 3 months. 😂
Judges will block him from doing that too. Don't be scared. Make him reverse his order AGAIN.
He just did reverse it.
We are about to become prey for the oligarchs. First, there'll be chaos, what'll children do to accommodate parents. Then our health will suffer depression, heart attacks & strokes. I've been retired for 13 years. I saved, did the right things to prepare, but I didn't prepare not to have SS income.
Absolutely NOT
Why do they need personal data???
Riots in the streets
Um, there’s more from the press conference live now.

Ramping up military staff and jets controlled by drones, fear mongering

RFK to take over food and special education after DOE is dismantled

What in the hell

Awful embarrassing press questions “who killed JFK🙄”.
Attack Tim Walz!
Tim Walz should just issue an arrest warrant on Trump for that comment and petition the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court to order his marshals to arrest Trump.
What did he say???
Trump called Walz a loser.
Guns will be loaded. Shit broken. That's a red line.
Trump is playing with fire, underestimating the dissatisfaction and anger that his administration are generating.
I don’t think they are underestimating. I think they truly don’t care, and he believes he has the military in his pocket.
Um, that’s not how it works, dumbass.
Go right ahead moron maggat. Put your tongue on the 3rd rail.
Go for it you fucking tiny little weak bitches!!! I dare u!!!! So fucking sick of this shit! I hope it's televised when the people come for these idiots!!!!
Yes, watching our grandmothers lose their homes because they don't have social security will be a wake up call.
Elmo wanted to be covered by The Rolling Stone seems his wish came true. He actually does believe he's done MUCH good for humanity. The ketamine has rotted his brain.
And I've been told this is fake news.
Anything that exposes the insanity and illegality of the Trump/Musk actions is considered fake news by MAGA and the GOP.
This wasn't fake news. Dudek just issued a withdrawal stating he had decided not to shut down SS and all payments will be made on time
Social Security is not an “entitlement program”. You pay into it with each pay cheque.
Even I know that, and I’m Canadian!
A lot of our deficit is in money borrowed from the social security fund. If they privatize it, that debt goes away. Same with our postal system. the GOP has forced the agency to fund pensions for future employees out 70 years. That pension funds get absorbed if they sell off the post office.
And in that instance, does Social Security keep paying out? Or do they declare bankruptcy, and screw the people who paid into it?
I have no clue. The GOP has her. wanting to privatize it for decades I started paying into the plan in 1978. They better at least give me everything I paid in along with the employer match if they kill it. This is uncharted territory.
There is no "if they kill it". I'll kill people if they try. Prison can take care of me.
They want to privatize it so they can steal $2.7T. That's it in a nutshell. They will steal that money from us and how do we stop that?
That’s probably the worst part - the fear and uncertainty.

You should watch this. It explains a few things.

Scary shit. One of my siblings, before the election, said they hoped he was "just talking shit". I sent them a text when he and Vance ambushed Zekensky. Their response, they are "praying for our leaders". I told them it would be good for them to remember they’re our representatives, not our leaders.
What we need is a playbook as to how to get out of this mess. I lost a lot of friends and family due to him. It actually caused a moral crisis in me as what does it say of me that I was surrounded by these folks? It's very difficult for me to comprehend how so many couldn't see through his bs.
Don’t you dare.
Musk is being protected over citizens on repeat. Now Teslas under attack is apparently an act of terrorism that equals a death sentence.

What exactly does he hold over Trump? Oh yes, his get out of jail free card presidency "win".

I look forward to cutting you into chunks if you start trying to rewrite laws or make up new ones.
Yet you pardoned the J6 thugs...
Remember when Kamala said he would mess with S.S, and she got booed?
Don't negotiate with terrorists
