Social Security is far too important to be raided by the Musk-rats 🐀😡

🔥 Remember, our history tells us that Hitler stripped transgendered and gay people of all rights, and many were imprisoned or killed in prison camps. Trump is Hitler. Don't forget it!

Hmmm… per Musk. How can 150 year-olds (born in 1874) be receiving Social Security checks when SS wasn't even introduced until 1935? #busted

#Sudan: my friend Syeed sent another video, proving that even Doctors Without Borders @msf.ca staff also have to deal with traffic… it’s just a different kind of traffic.

Amen to that.

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

A new website created by about a dozen federal employees, called “We the Builders,” aims to be a secure outlet for government workers to share stories about how their workplaces are being impacted by DOGE, and a place to explain the real-world impact of its access to government tech systems.

“RESIST. DO NOT COMPLY WITH THEIR ILLEGAL MANDATES.”Judge Ortiz emailed her EEOC colleagues after the anti-trans EO. She told me, “The unknown was not as scary as being complicit and not speaking up. I can exist on cornflakes and community at the end of the day if it means that my soul is intact.”

We are arms dealers to terrorists.

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

There’s always an origin story for the worst people in history where they could have been stopped if someone had just said NO instead of “keep your enemies closer” or “let just see if we can work with him.”

CDC workers are out there, doing their jobs, even though doing their jobs means placing their jobs in jeopardy. "U.S. CDC reports five-fold increase in measles cases from last week"

Remarkable: Trump's own pollster just found that in swing House districts, Dems lead by 5 points and voters want tax policy to prioritize working people, per Politico. Yet GOP is about to brutally slash the safety net and give the rich huge tax cuts! New piece: newrepublic.com/article/1918...

Eggs are now over $8 a dozen, a new all-time high.

WI congressman Glenn Grothmann’s constituent mentions Elon Musk calling beneficiaries of federal programs ‘parasites’ and he refuses to believe it. They’re so out of touch with their constituents - no wonder Trump took over their party so easily.

Muslims don’t recognize Jews as God's chosen people, Jews don’t recognize Jesus as the Messiah, Protestants don’t recognize the Pope as the leader of the Christian world, and Evangelicals don’t recognize each other at Hooters.
