Gaslighting is the entire GOP playbook. From ‘biggest crowd ever’ to ‘normal tourist visit,’ they’re betting you’ll ignore reality. If we allow them to keep rewriting history, they’ll keep burning the truth to the ground.

ROBERT REICH.- Elon Musk stopped paying into Social Security on January 1st at 12:15 AM. Thanks to the Social Security tax cap, the rest of his earnings for the year won't be taxed. Remember this when DOGE suggests cutting Social Security benefits for millions of seniors.

This man was one of the best men to ever serve the People in our nation’s highest office. We mourn him today. We celebrate him always. Rest in power, Jimmy Carter.

Statement from the Obamas: "Maranatha Baptist Church will be a little quieter on Sundays, but President Carter will never be far away – buried alongside Rosalynn next to a willow tree down the road, his memory calling all of us to heed our better angels."

RIP Jimmy Carter. Thank you for being a guiding light in living a generous, caring, & selfless life.

It also makes it harder for them to ban books.

WAPO has found more than three times as many deaths than the U.S. government documented in its investigation of the boarding schools designed to crush Native American culture. Read more about this country’s cruel history of Native American oppression below.👇🏼 www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

Kids will be “learning” from AI with uncertified adults standing by as “guides.” They will only work on academics for two hours a day. The school says their curriculum is gamified to make sure students are entertained. Entertained. Oh my god. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

I had polio when i was 9. I was taken from my parents & placed in a Hospital for contageous diseases- the polio ward. I would see them once a week - thru the glass window at the end of my ward. I could not walk. It was terrifying. Kids died. Iron lungs were awful. Dont let RFK Jr ban the vaccine

When Republicans propose raising the retirement age to 70, tell them to raise the maximum wage subject to Social Security taxes. In 2024, earners stopped paying when they surpassed $169K. The wealthy stop paying early in the year while we continue paying the rest of the year, and THAT is bullsh!t!

“Trump lied about an election being stolen and then sicked a mob on the Capitol. It's funny that you roll your eyes at this, Kevin, because you're the one who went down and resurrected him...We elected the most dangerous....human being that America has ever elected. And Kevin, you helped him."

I think any bank or credit card company should be responsible for any transactions based on identity theft. Not the victims

Predatory Capitalism is: Healthcare for profit. Education for profit. Housing for profit. Prisons for profit. Utilities for profit. Food for profit. War for profit. We must find the courage & compassion to evolve beyond this neverending cycle of greed & suffering.

Maybe one of the reasons there are so many unhinged academics is that in order to keep your job, you’re constantly required to tout yourself as a Scholar of World-Historical Significance, even as your office’s ceiling tiles slowly dislodge themselves to fall on your head.

😆🤣😂

Keep these Social Security Fun Facts handy, kids!

When will America wake up?

Elon Musk and Pete Hesgeth are the kind of tough alpha males that America needs, according to their mommies

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget
