The dollar is in free fall, stock market is down, and the price of groceries is up. Is this the “Golden Age” Trump promised you?

That guy was just an I.T. employee elevated to run the whole Social Security operation because he was willing to give Elon Musk unauthorized access to data.

Musk is censoring the following information: The US Social Security commissioner is consulting with the Justice Department about shutting down the agency.

“This move would immediately begin halting benefits payments for millions of Americans.”

Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear.

Ooh, getting rid of Social Security is going to piss a lot of people off! We need to show the US government how much!
🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

Last night, Elon Musk announced the plan to ELIMINATE Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.

How do we stop him? MASSIVE PUBLIC OUTRAGE.

Share this with everyone you know!

The government is fully captured by conspiracy theorists who were appointed to power *because* of their disordered thinking and tight connections to similarly-addled X influencers.

Trump wanted a trade war, and the EU just sent the bil: €26 billion, payable in tariffs.
Guess "The Art of the Deal" didn’t cover "How to Avoid Getting Owned by Europe."

✅ WHO does not impose lockdowns or policies on countries. It does not have the authority to do this and isn't trying to get it.

Only governments can make those decisions.

The rush to destroy things like USAID and other agencies before lawsuits can stop them is to make it moot. When our stupidly slow judicial system finally moves to stop them it will be far too late. If all 10,000 USAID employees are home and projects abandoned it’s done. It’s evil.

To recap, Trump:

-Forced out the FAA chief at Musk's insistence
-Imposed a hiring freeze that reportedly included air traffic controllers
-Fired the TSA head and gutted a key aviation safety committee
-Blamed the DCA crash on DEI

This is disastrous leadership.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.

Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.

Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

We have to stop dividing our problems into “left and right" and start seeing our problems like “top vs bottom.”

737 billionaires in the U.S. have a combined wealth of 5.5 trillion. And they funneled it out of the middle class.

Then Trump keeps us fighting with each other while they steal more.
