I tried again today and after four hours, somebody picked up and hung the phone up and I was disconnected. From what I understand this is a common occurrence. Did any of you have the same experience?
🚨From what people have shared with me, wait times for Social Security are more than 3 hours at the minimum, up to 6-8 hours (unknown maximum). This is UNACCEPTABLE. Please share your experience in the replies below. I called yesterday & after 4 hours of waiting on speaker phone, I hung up the phone.

Gonna say something obvious to most: real masculinity defends the defenseless, punches up not down, has compassion, and fights only on behalf of others to battle injustice or evil.
It doesn’t just lift weights and tweet in all caps and listen to Rogan and grow a beard to feel accepted by other men

By the way a military parade when we’re not celebrating a war victory is something a dude who never served would do.

Peaceful protests are fine. Violence is not and will only destroy your message. And please for the love of God do NOT wave a Mexican flag. American flags or nothing

This is an important reminder: even the LAPD acknowledged yesterday that everything was peaceful.
Then Trump brought the chaos.

The same is true for raids on restaurants—rounding up people who are working hard and contributing to their community.
It’s obvious but worth drawing out what raids of Home Depot’s of all places is about. It’s rounding up people who are really eager for work and for whom there is work, peoples whose labor is in demand. We know this but shows just how far it is from rounding up just the bad guys.

"As citizens, our task is clear: pay attention to these voices, understand their warnings, and recognize that judicial pushback alone cannot preserve democratic norms. When judges start speaking in the language of constitutional crisis, democracy needs every defender it can find."
NEW: I analyzed nearly 300 federal cases involving the Trump administration. Federal judges—across the political spectrum—are using language I’ve never seen before. One called government actions “unconscionable.” Another quoted Kafka. They’re begging us to pay attention.

Donald Trump has become convinced that Republicans cannot win the midterms, and that a blue wave would effectively end his presidency and confront him with two years of investigations and impeachment proceedings. He needs martial law as an excuse to cancel the midterms. So America is on a clock now.
