With Social Security under attack, I’ve asked people to share their stories about what this program means for their lives. Now I’m sharing some of them with you, to remind us all what’s at stake. I’ll keep fighting to protect the ironclad contract of Social Security.  🧵

Demi Moore is an icon who was called “a popcorn actress.” I’ve never been so pissed that an actor didn’t win an #Oscar after winning the other awards. Does it impact my life? Nope. But, the movie is about the lack of girl power, esp when aging. And, she just lost to a 25-yr old. Prologue much?!? 👎🏽

Himes: "It just looks like an episode of The Sopranos. 'Give us your minerals or we're not gonna help you fight a bloody butcher.' I mean, is this really we want the greatest country in history to be known for -- some mafia thing? ... this president is standing with the bad guy"

When a judge stops the president from doing something illegal, that’s not a “threat to democracy,” that’s a check on the president’s power. That's the whole damn point.

Does “Golden Age” refer to a time when planes keep crashing, eggs cost $10–15 a dozen, the U.S. is being booed and protested by all our allies, workers are losing their jobs, and Americans’ personal data is being rummaged through by unelected oligarchs and their strange crew of 20-something incels?

I thought I would share my testimony to the committee. This was my one thing yesterday. This was my act of defiance and resistance… open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

I have many regrets about Earth, but making humans in a wide range of colors, shapes, and temperaments is not one of them. Celebrate thy diversity. Love each other.

I live in Ag country. You can’t even imagine how many signs I passed saying, “Farmers for Trump.” This graph was posted by Iowa Democratic Representative, JD Sholten.

Donold is blaming a plane crash that killed 67 people on “DEI” with zero evidence. He is attempting to use racism to deflect from the fact it is HIS fault. He had just removed 100 FAA senior officials. It’s been 11 days and there are 67 bodies in the Potomac in Washington DC because of him.

About the presidency, Harry Truman famously said “the buck stops here.” Trump is trying to pass the buck and blame everybody but his administration for the DC plane crash. This is a time for consoling the families and investigating the cause of this tragedy, not shameful finger pointing.

if you cared about morale and recruitment you would not alienate a group that disproportionately enlists into the military, but if you are a white nationalist…
