Social Security is OUR money, an EARNED benefit! Not only is it OUR money but we also PAID to have customer service. This is where our money went to. Social Security staff was already at a 50 low when the Trump administration took over & NOW they want to cut 50% of staff. HELL NO! NOT ACCEPTABLE.šŸ˜”šŸ¤¬

Chris Murphy: "Everyone who signs up to work for Donald Trump is signing up for one single project, and that is the transition of American democracy to a kind of kleptocratic oligarchy in which the billionaires rule and get to steal from regular Americans."

šŸ”„I received my Social Security Check early this month, which was unusual. However, I am ALARMINGLY concerned that if and when I do NOT receive my check, with 50% cuts to staff and local Social Security offices closing, WHO is going to help me? This is something we need to STOP now, people will DIE.šŸ˜”

ā™æSocial Security is NOT just for Seniors. It's also for people like me with Disabilities, people who receive Survivors Benefits & Veterans who receive Social Security benefits. Before I became disabled, I PAID into the program with EVERY paycheck. There are MILLIONS more like me & it is OUR MONEY!ā™æ

Thereā€™s a major shift in U.S. cybersecurity policy. A recent CISA memo removed Russia from its list of priorities, focusing instead on China and local systems. Analysts were told not to track Russian cyber threats.

and there it is

Hope to see you there

A fringe right wing legal theory is sweeping through the Trump administration and it threatens the very foundation of American democracy. Paige and I explain. youtu.be/61DXpmLnI2E

If you only watch one video today, let it be this one. And since Little Marco doesnā€™t want us to remember this, please repost it so others can see what a raging hypocrite he is. @calltoactivism.bsky.social

Conan: You know, Anora is having a good night. That's great news. Two wins already. I guess Americans are excited to see somebody finally stand up to a powerful Russian.

Good morning all! šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡¦ Please share everywhere. šŸ™šŸ»

Donald Trump promised he wouldn't cut Medicaid. This week, his friends in DC voted for a bill that would leave 3.4 million Illinoisans, including 1.4 million children, in the dust. Another middle finger to working families and the most vulnerable in our state.

This is so fucking tragic. Today Europe is completely united behind Ukraine and the cause of freedom. Meanwhile the United States is sitting this one out along with Russia and Iran. Make it make sense.

"ā€‹'They're getting death threats': Lawmaker reportedly reveals how Trump is pressuring GOP" The strategic Use of violence for political purposes is a classic trait of FASCIST Movements. MAGA is what FASCISM in 2025 looks like. www.rawstory.com/trump-gop-th...

Folks are frustrated with Dems in Congress right now. Hereā€™s my solution - get the hell out of DC and hold some hearings. I love town halls, but we need to focus on people right now. Have folks come testify about how these cuts are affecting them. Get local media there. Make it real.

Seems like Hegseth's Stand Down Our Defenses Against Russia order should be getting a bit more attention.

Muskā€™s status as a ā€œspecial government employeeā€ limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working dailyā€”documented by his own X postsā€”they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congressā€”please share.

Grant Grissom, 80-yo, asked felon & traitor Donald Trump to RESIGN in a letter NYT published 3/2/2025. REASON: Trump has done immense damage to Americans & our country. Grissom listed key examples. Link I was able to enlarge easily: www.reddit.com/r/MeidasTouc...

Rep. Tom Suozzi gets huge applause and a standing ovation after calling out Trumpā€™s ambush of President Zelenskyy at the White House. Suozzi is a Democrat who won a special election in a red districtā€”more of this, please! Every single Dem should be holding town halls across the country RIGHT NOW.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldnā€™t find itā€¦so donā€™t RT right now this very second.

I love this!! Actress Cassandra Peterson, better known as her horror hostess character Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, has donated her Tesla to NPR. Keep Reposting #Swasticar #ElonSux

Full page ad in todayā€™s New York Times:

If it walks like a Nazi, talks like a Nazi, and salutes like a Naziā€¦ Keep the online pressure up, friends. And boycott Tesla. Find out more about local protests at teslatakedown.com

You might not see it in the mainstream media, but over 10,000 people protested today at Tesla showrooms across the country, another 10,000+ rallied in support of national parks, and more than 1,000 gathered in Vermont to protest Vanceā€™s visit.

Maybe dem reps could hold their own state of the union on the Capitol steps. Steal the spotlight. Let members like AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Max Frost, and the DNC make remarks. Norms don't exist. Buck them.

After Trump & Vanceā€™s utterly disgraceful performance itā€™s good to see European leaders step up. Itā€™s profoundly American to criticize our leaders when they stray from democratic principles let alone what we are seeing in Trumpā€™s administration. As a proud American I intend to fight for our country.

Leaders of the free world stand united in London The United States is not among them

Governor Walz has it right. I miss hearing his plain, common sense talk.

This is one of Dr. Seussā€™ war cartoons published in 1941. It is as true today as it was then.

Whoever supports this is a murderous ghoul

Vermont showed upā€”protesting JD Vance at his vacation spot after he brought shame on this country. Vance had to be moved to an undisclosed location. Dude constantly trashes blue states but thought it was a good idea to vacation in one. Maybe next time, pick a red stateā€”or better yet, Russia!

Red states-pay attention, because youā€™ll get hit hardest! Theyā€™re gutting NOAA to privatize weather forecasting. Knowledge is powerā€”forecasting is knowledge. Fossil fuel execs rake in billions while the planet chokesā€”folks keep guzzling gas & wonā€™t notice the climate crisis while the world burns.

Democracies stand with Ukraine.

Just read this graf. Share it with people you know who donā€™t pay attention to politics or news.

Grotesque. They want to kill people is the only conclusion.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did.

Did Putin need his homework back? #ProudBlue #IStandWithUkraine

We are the leaders that we have been waiting for.

DOGE is canceling government contracts that help veterans. Records show among the 875 contracts were arrangements to help medical services, fund cancer programs, recruit doctors, and provide burial services to veterans.
