One of Chester's best songs. Imo

Another Nazi salute at CPAC. These guys have completely given up on hiding who they really are.

We-the-people, not Trump, not Musk, are still in control and the overwhelming majority will be forced to see our commonality and act together. Despair ends now!

This hits hard.

It’s all fun and games when Trump’s rampage targets foreign aid and programs with quirky names… …until he comes for you.

Crybaby Trump is throwing another fit over his falling popularity and his hatred for the free press. www.newscorpse.com/ncWP/?p=65307

@kenmartin.bsky.social Why aren’t you posting on here EVERYDAY??? Just heard you were coming to Texas but you’re not posting what you’re doing and where you’re going!?! So far you are lacking in the communication department. Which is one of the reasons I opposed you becoming chair among others.

17 red states are suing to end federal disability protections. Here’s how you can support Section 504: Then, they came for Disabled.

stupidity rules now. just stupid useless interests of stupid useless hateful selfish tRUMPy monster people who probably don't even understand what gravity is. #Disabled ppl in these 17 asshole states are forced to pay taxes for a lawsuit against their own wellbeing? time.com/7258245/disa... #504

Medicaid work requirements are bad policy that simply don’t work. They undermine dignity and put lives at risk. Health care is a right—not a test.

“… he’s gotten rid of birthright citizenship …” (this is a lie, it’s in our fucking constitution) Crowd: Booo Constituent: “No!” Second constituent: “Illegal as hell!”

Musk & DOGE are now f*cking with the Social Security Administration. 🚨 IMPORTANT: If you or a loved one experience delayed SS payments or difficulty accessing SSDI services, CALL THE PEOPLE’S HOTLINE! Tell your story. ☎️ 503-212-4600 ☎️ Pass it on:

Great, Elmo Mush is fucking with the Social Security admin apparently. It was already hard enough to get service and the Disability process was already agonizingly slow when I went thru it. With layoffs, office closures, etc. it's only going to get worse. Thanks MAGA morons.

I must read for all persons with disabilities PWD or if you know somebody with disabilities which all of us know somebody within the first two circles of the onion

Amen
