Can someone politely ask Avelo CEO Andrew Levy if he would have approved the flight to deport his own great-grandparents, who lived in Philadelphia for 25 years without ever becoming citizens? K thanks. #resistancegenealogy

This is a good, funny sign. But it gets at a key element of what Social Security does. Middle aged people who aren't fully supporting aging parents can fund their kids education. It runs through the whole life cycle.

So depressing. It’s what got my dad. And you know when it gets someone they love, suddenly it will be important again.

"Your retirement account is only down 5.5%, that's not a lot" sounds like excellent messaging and I strongly encourage Fox News and Republicans to double down on it.

my WIRED subscription renewal is coming up and I couldn't be happier to keep supporting them. Also I get the print magazines delivered, and grandmas were right, clipping out articles and giving them to people you love RULES.

This letter appeared in the Bloomsburg PA Press Enterprise this morning. I am assured the writer is who he purports to be, an Air Force veteran.

Seems the new standard for being called a traitor in this Age of American Misrule is to fly more than three dozen combat missions in Iraq for the U.S. Navy, then command the Space Shuttle as a U.S. Astronaut, then serve in the U.S. Senate, and remember that Russia attacked its neighbor, Ukraine.

Hey so we shouldn't cut Social Security for more reasons than I can fit in a single post, but its probably bad to cut Social Security (which has never missed a payment in its entire history) at the same time that Trump's tariffs are decimating people's 401k's. @socialsecurityworks.org

Learning recently I’m much more fond of government agencies than many folks in the US (many serve communities and employ my colleagues!) But I’m especially fond of the USPS. I can send and receive little gifts across the vast country! I chat with the mailperson! Stamps are so cool!

I have pen pals. There is a whole snail mail community on Instagram. Check out incowrimo.org and see I’m not an outlier. Save the USPS!

Cheering myself up by looking at an ancient scan of a 1982 USPS booklet I loved as a kid: "P.S. Write Soon," developed jointly by the postal service and the National Council of Teachers of English to instill a love of writing letters. It worked!

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Two lovely women I know have had chemo the past two days. Reading this news about cancer research being frozen because of the tyrant in the White House makes me furious. We’re not even a week in. I’m at a loss for how we will survive.

Enjoy Black Friday folks 🖤🖤🖤. ‘Cause next year you alone (not the country we are importing from, not our government) will pay the tariff on the products that are assigned them. Black Friday 2024 brought to you competently by non-fascists, enjoy.

One wonders whether Trump recalls that he might have expired of COVID if he hadn’t gotten blue-ribbon care.

I’m seeing how well my husband is being taken care of by Medicare right now. I hope it is there for me and the Trump train wreck doesn’t slash it.
