100%. Social Security was created to help seniors retire with dignity and security. If everyone pays their fair share in taxes, we can strengthen this lifeline for generations to come. @SocialSecurityWorks.org bsky.app/profile/soci...

Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr. has called off nearly $500 million in grants and contracts aimed at advancing mRNA vaccine development. This technology, first deployed during the Covid19 pandemic, allows vaccines to be produced rapidly and adapted as viruses evolve. His brain worms are getting worse!

Christian nationalism opposes public assistance to the poor, unless the money passes through church coffers, favors people of color being submissive to white people, favors use of physical punishment of kids, & favors minimal workers rights. Say "NO"!

We already went through and dealt with this conspiracy shit on HIV two decades ago. Why must we keep repeating the past?
This reminds me: RFK Jr. doesn't believe that HIV causes AIDS! He believes recreational drug use causes it and that scientists, including Dr. Anthony Fauci formerly of NIH, conspired to make up an infectious disease responsible for AIDS so they could "take control of it." www.npr.org/sections/sho...

The GOP convicted felon has launched a war on the American people & our constitution. We have guardrails to stop a rogue president. But are our lawmakers? Happy to be part of it & obey, in the foolish belief that THEY will be spared. Wait for the final irony. #Opposition #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory
