Social security tips … call congress if you have issues. You can download 5 calls app and you can easily access your representatives @5calls.org @socialsecurityworks.org

I have been hearing from people that they have been having issues accessing their Social Security accounts. INSTEAD of going to a branch which may be hundreds or 1Ks+ of miles away from you, call your members of Congress. They have constituent services that will help you regain access. Please share!

A vote for a great judge! A vote against billionaire influence. @wisconsinexaminer.com @protectdemocracy.org @democracynow.org

Voting for Judge Susan Crawford TODAY means you’ll both help elect a fair, common-sense justice to the Court AND defeat Musk’s eight-figure investment in Brad Schimel AND avoid lines on April 1. Early in-person voting is open! Find your polling place: wisdems.org/vote

Add up the claimed savings on the DOGE website and (right now )you get $7.19b from contract savings, and $0.14b from real estate, for a total of $7.3b, or $21.47 per American. Trump is talking about giving a "DOGE dividend" of 20% of these savings. Enjoy your $4.29.

done!

A quick resistance task: 1. Google Gulf of Mexico 2. “Gulf of America" is the top 3. Click on the three little dots to the right of it 4. Select "Send Feedback" 5. Click on "Gulf Of America" 6. Select "Inaccurate content" 7. Select "Incorrect" and type in "The correct name is “Gulf of Mexico"

Leaving us exposed and giving cover to corporate greed and theft.

Vought is giving big banks and giant corporations the green light to scam families. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has returned over $21 billion to families cheated by Wall Street. Republicans have failed to gut it in Congress and in the courts. They will fail again.

Exercise compassion !!! Please

friendly reminder that the best case scenario over the coming years is that a lot of people say "I supported Trump but this isn't what I wanted at all" and when they do that it's gonna be really, really important that we say "welcome in," not "fuck you, we told you so"

He is so ignorant

Tulare County in California voted 59-38% for Donald Trump in 2024. Now officials there are wondering why President Trump is opening dams and wasting water sjvwater.org/trumps-emerg...

the first fatal commercial plane crash in 16 years happened just days after Trump froze hiring of air traffic controllers that were already stretched thin

Some ideas about how to resist creeping authoritarianism: - find joy in your community - engage in mutual aid - be sure to get enough sleep, water, and calories - move your body in ways that please you - support independent media and artists (and make your own!) - use cynicism sparingly - pets

Fantastic episode. Give a listen.

The anonymity like quality of being cruel behind a keyboard and finding power therein…. Yes this … hope we all read it and build more community.

I wrote about a fundamental problem with algorithmic social media—that it was developed by misfits and cynics to diminish the value of interpersonal cohesion—and how conservative have exploited it to finally build the noxious, dominant counterculture they always wanted.

We don’t have a spending problem—we have a tax revenue problem. Republicans want working folks to continue to fund MASSIVE tax cuts for the rich by convincing us to cut services & benefits for those who need it most. The only thing we need to do is reverse tax cuts & loopholes for the mega rich.

now we are talking! a fighter thanks @pattymurray.bsky.social

Sen. Patty Murray, Chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee:   "I'm ready to stay here through Christmas because we're not going to let Elon Musk run the government. Put simply, we should not let an unelected billionaire rip away research for pediatric cancer so he can get a tax cut."

Chris Murphy: "I read the headlines about the Liz Cheney criminal referral and almost every single one of them in mainstream media played this straight as if it was a normal function of legislative power, instead of telling the truth, which is that this is made up out of thin air."

Good messaging. From here on out Dems need to promote the story that Trump and his billionaire cronies are stealing from Americans.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Chris Murphy: "Why is Donald Trump engaged in this relentless campaign to try to silence journalists, media companies, and his political opposition? It's because he's trying to steal from you."

“Trump lied about an election being stolen and then sicked a mob on the Capitol. It's funny that you roll your eyes at this, Kevin, because you're the one who went down and resurrected him...We elected the most dangerous....human being that America has ever elected. And Kevin, you helped him."
