Keep calling when you have comments and questions for your representatives. My representatives refuse to face their constituents and answer questions in a town hall. Why become a representative if you don't have the courage to face us. Indiana blue dot

Watch this before you eat that chicken dinner. 😬🐔

WOW. One of the Venezuelans whom Kristi Noem tried to render to El Salvador's slave prison managed to avoid removal and was able to make it to immigration court, and you'll never guess what happened: THE GOVERNMENT GAVE NO EVIDENCE OF HIS GANG MEMBERSHIP. Due process ftw

Amazing. After nearly losing her house, and being locked away in a legal battle for years because of one innocuous line in her last TED Talk, @carolecadwalla.bsky.social returns to the Lion’s Den, and calls out the Broligarchs This Is What a Digital Coup Looks Like youtu.be/TZOoT8AbkNE?...

It's as bad as you have thought it is with HHS cuts, and how it will affect everyone.

Another outrage - another 30-year US resident & Green Card holder from Ireland disappeared into detention. www.irishtimes.com/crime-law/20...

Great Social Security factcheck and talking points ! winbackourcountry.com

Rep. Goldman: What Donald Trump and Elon Musk are trying to do is very sneaky. They are not going to say they're cutting Social Security benefits. Instead, they're making it impossible for the Social Security Administration to process the benefits. #HandsOff @repdangoldman.bsky.social

I was at a food bank today donating food and talking to the volunteers. Also giving them egg cartons, because they were getting eggs donated from a local farmer and needed them. I was told they couldn't use them, because the farm got bird flu. All sorts of ways people are being impacted.

I've been on hold with the IRS for about 2 1/2 hours, having found the source of the bad info the Social Security people have hanging over my head. I think I need a little mojo from my friends to make any kind of progress here.

This morning my amazing 91 YEAR OLD mother-in-law joined a group from her retirement community to protest at the Pittsfield, MA Social Security office! If you are not inspired then you are not paying attention. GO NANA GO!!! @maddow.msnbc.com theberkshireedge.com/protest-plan...

A hands off protest, organized by @brevarddems.bsky.social at the Social Security office, Melbourne, Florida. A crowd of about 75 energized and ready!

A small but mighty group of us rallied today outside the Social Security office in #LynnMa. Our focus was showing gratitude for the staff who are working through incredibly difficult circumstances. We had a large thank you card that our members & passersby signed. /1 @socialsecurityworks.org

May Day is Coming! Historically,since 1889, May 1 is designated as a day to support American workers. If you're out of ideas for protest signs, here are some great ones, provided by Barbara Taylor, along with downloadable art for 18x24" open.substack.com/pub/bltbanjo... @rhutabhayga.bsky.social

Go ACLU!!

#Breaking #AnotherTrumpContemptViolation A deeply disturbing development in a federal immigration case you may not have heard about: D.V.D. v. DHS. youtu.be/NMsm-ZKPG7Y?... via @YouTube

Call me old-fashioned, but I don't think people should be required to carry their 'papers' with them at all times to avoid being illegally and unconstitutionally detained by government agents and at risk for extraordinary rendition to a foreign gulag. newrepublic.com/post/194303/...

Protesting today in Mount Pleasant Michigan. Hands off Social Security!

Uh oh. Here's a montage of Trump talking about cutting Social Security and Medicare. It would be a shame if everybody shared this. #HandsOffMySocialSecurity

Daily Beast reported that DOGE moving 4 million people in the Social Security Dead Master File is creating havoc. Rennie Glasgow, a SSA claims analyst: “We have people who did not receive benefits come in every day with their ID and say, ‘I’m not dead, I’m alive!’ “Efficiency” indeed. 🤦‍♂️

They’re doing everything awful on purpose. They’re breaking social security and the VA and the NIH on purpose. The point is to get us to riot so they can declare martial law, suspend the constitution without directly saying so, and use our military against us, I’m assuming with live fire.

My WTF moment for today: notified that my boss at the dry cleaners where I work part time has been subpoenaed by Homeland Security to physically inspect the Social Security cards of each of their employee... #freedom #democracy #usa #gop #corruption #fascists #fascism 👉 Vote Fascists Out!

BEGGING everyone who is organizing to understand this and tell everyone you encounter what's going on. I have a few people irl who don't need to know details for their own emotional wellbeing, but they already know how bad this is.

“Some officials say U.S. citizens who criticize administration policies could be charged with crimes, based on the notion that they're aiding terrorists and criminals.”

Things have heated up 🤷‍♀️ youtube.com/watch?v=mEWz...

It's a high bar, but this from @radleybalko.bsky.social might be one of the most fucked up things I've read in the new Trump era. For context, this TX lawyer had just had an informal conversation with a family caught up in ICE raids. Seriously. Read this. radleybalko.substack.com/p/the-courag...
