You know there’s something wrong with society when wearing a mask to protect others from disease is an “infringement of people’s rights,” but wearing a mask to conceal your identity when illegally kidnapping women and children off the streets so they can be deported without due process is just fine.

Social Security is over folks. By this time next month all payments will be halted and we’ll be forced to schedule in person appointments which will be difficult for 70 million elderly people to do anytime soon. Reduced staffing will make that impossible.

Is anyone else having difficulty posting articles on this platform? It’s remarkably discouraging when the only social media platform that isn’t owned by billionaire Trump lackeys doesn’t allow us to post important links regarding the impending loss of our Social Security benefits.

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do;
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too.
Imagine all the people
Livin' life in peace.

And the world will be as one.
