Elon Musk's plan to cut the Social Security Administration's staff by 50% would cause 37,000 more Americans to die each year waiting to receive their disability benefits while the average wait time to collect these benefits would jump to 412 days.
That is beyond unacceptable.

In the wealthiest nation on earth, 25% of seniors should not be living on $15,000 a year or less.
We should EXPAND Social Security, not cut it. I will soon be introducing legislation to significantly raise Social Security benefits and extend the solvency of the program.

NO. At a time of massive income and wealth inequality we should not be giving tax breaks to billionaires. We should demand that they start paying their fair share.

I’ll say it again. What makes this platform different is that it’s moderated. And, The Terms of Service are enforced. Bluesky is not like Twitter
The world needs a platform where people who disagree can have a real discussion.

The problem is you assume they want to "engage and have reals discussions on real issues." They don't. When confronted with facts, data, science, actual laws, and the like, they resort to spewing lies, disinformation and hate.

My sense is that most people are so clueless and antagonistic toward news and politics that they won’t know, understand, or care what happened this weekend. If it becomes impossible for them not to notice they’ll be greeted with social media content spelling out an alternate reality to believe in
