Now that a private individual has public access to our sensitive SS data he can do whatever he wants to our credit scores, deny SS payments on a whim, delay them, etc.

This is top tier fascist dictatorship shit now.

And Congress is completely silent.

Can’t believe the updates from The US…

Two emotionally detached narcissists engineering what appears to be a mass looting of the country

Triggering culture, tariff and diplomatic wars

…while rolling out orders that will hurt the pockets, safety & health of its citizens.

57 companies are responsible for 80% of global greenhouse gas emissions since 2016.

These companies include fossil fuel giants like Chevron, Shell, and BP, who have been raking in record profits.

The profits of Big Oil should not be more important than the future of our planet.

This isn't just an attack on scientific research. It's an attack on *scientists.*

Central to Trump's "Revolution of Common Sense" is the idea that scientists impede progress in pursuit of political goals.

This move -- Telegraphed in Project 2025 -- upends life for those who depend on NIH funding.

Republicans can use all sorts of theological gymnastics, pseudo-piety, and performative religiosity to fashion something out of God and the Bible to build a theocratic order and fool their rank-and-file.

But they can’t f*ck with Jesus.

Imagine this: An undocumented wife plans to escape her abusive U.S. citizen husband. He falsely accuses her of theft, and under the Laken Riley Act, she’s detained without proof. This bill empowers abusers, silences victims, and destroys lives.
