Just donated $15 top each - we don't have much but this is really important!!

This looks like an incredible workbook. @jtaylor27.bsky.social we should read it together and with others!

TrumpMusk- Make America Peasants Again "Revolutions broke out when the state’s structural weaknesses, exacerbated by foreign competition, came under pressure from a peasantry angered by government’s inability to protect them from the exploitative behavior of their landlords." - Theda Skocpol

Not great, not great even a little bit.

As a veteran, this one yanked my crank.

We make a fatal error agonizing over a lack of leadership in DC. There are some leaders there who we should praise. But people have always been ahead of politicians. Stop fuming and start organizing, marching, helping.

Do Something!

Thoughts and prayers

Surprised? Um.. no. #elon www.dailysabah.com/business/fin... Russian President Vladimir Putin has directed Gazprombank Deputy CEO Dmitry Zauers to work with billionaire entrepreneur and U.S. Department of Government Efficiency head Elon Musk on advancing technology development - Russian media

Hey ICE! Illegal immigrant here!

🚨🚨🚨 Closing Social Security offices! Dammit, it's all hands on deck and where are the Dems? fElon's team works weekends, folks. This is just the beginning... @propublica.org comes through again.

House Republicans are coming for your Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid—to the tune of $2 TRILLION. That’s your money. Your benefits. Your future.

House Republicans want to slash $2 TRILLION from Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Not the military. Not tax cuts for billionaires. YOUR benefits. Time to raise hell.

We need a class action suit against Elon Musk for transferring our Social Security data to his private server. I want him in prison!

Social Security is our money. We’ll see you in court. Fuck Musk and Trump.

This looks like a good idea. It turns out it wasn't initiated by HCR, so I've deleted her name from the image. I guess whoever thought it up is shy. I plan to do this, even though I can't spend any money anyway until I feel that my Social Security is safe.

Telehealth made therapy accessible after 10 yrs of suffering from a debilitating, deeply marginalized chronic illness. It makes medical care possible now that I can barely leave the house and helps me prove I’m still disabled when Social Security comes knocking. We cannot lose it.

Frank Bisignano, Trump’s SSA nominee, has a history of closing locations and firing workers for “efficiency.” If confirmed, he’ll have the power to accelerate the destruction of Social Security. This is the future Republicans voted for. #AreWeGreatYet www.propublica.org/article/doge...

Elon is very concerned about the deficit because apparently the only way to save Social Security is to cut spending that destroys people's lives but absolutely not by raising taxes on corporations or the rich. You see that "temporary pain" he talked about is only for us not them. Happy Sunday.

@demskeys.bsky.social Trump lied. Social Security and Medicare are in their sights. www.rawstory.com/anxiety-moun...

He "suspected of sharing unauthorized access to information" with Musk's Dogebaggers. Now he's commissioner. New Social Security chief was being investigated when Musk team tapped him www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Trump’s Commerce Secretary: “We have almost $4 trillion of entitlements, and no one’s ever looked at it before. You know Social Security is wrong, you know Medicaid and Medicare are wrong. So he’s gonna cut a trillion and we’re gonna get rid of all these tax scams” newrepublic.com/post/191740/...

No, dead people aren’t receiving Social Security checks. 🙄 Don't believe us? Here's what Trump's new Social Security chief had to say.

Just wait 'til they take a meat cleaver to Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security. About one in 5 Americans receive SSI checks.

🚨 Social Security is NOT a handout. 🚨 It is an EARNED BENEFIT Americans pay into for their entire working life. It is YOUR money. Not a pawn for a Ruzzian asset’s regime nor a slush fund to borrow against. Fuck these elite assholes. ☎️ 202-224-3121 📲 5Calls.org 🤖 Resist.bot

Daily Reminder: Social Security is OUR money, an EARNED benefit!

Duly noted. 👍👏 Definitely something brewing in the land... Finally!

URGENT: ExxonMobil and friends think they can keep draining us dry while they cash in on their tax breaks behind closed doors with Donald Trump and the GOP. We’re draining them on March 17th. No fuel. It’s time for a nationwide shutdown. (PHASE 1)

Get ready for a real impact on February 28th! We’re boycotting all corporate giants—If it’s not a small business, it’s off-limits! No gas, no fast food, no Amazon. If they can’t hear us, we’ll make them feel us. (PHASE 1)

We need an underground railroad for the children who TrumpMusk is coming for now!

Shocked, I tell you. www.texasobserver.org/ice-prosecut...

It's pretty cool that Eater put together resources for restaurants about how to handle ICE raids

After sending over 400 ICE agents to Denver and Aurora, CO, and knocking on hundreds of Americans' doors, ICE made only one arrest. Now, Trump has removed the Acting ICE Director, Caleb Vitello. (WaPo)

In the Netflix series, “Apple Cider Vinegar,” based largely on Australian wellness influencer and fraudster Belle Gibson, lied thar her wellness treatments cured her terminal brain cancer.Meanwhile, research shows patients who reject or delay the advice of their doctors are much more likely to die.

ICONIC: Yosemite National Park workers just hung an upside-down American flag—THOUSANDS of feet up on El Capitan. That’s not decoration. That’s a distress signal. They’re telling us the country is in danger. Are you paying attention? www.sfchronicle.com/outdoors/art...

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

They want us to be afraid. They want us to hesitate. They want us to fear their next move. Fuck that shit. We are just getting started fighting.

Wise man…
