A lot of people have been calling me the

Before we talk more about disability, we need to address the history of eugenics, ableism and racism that haunts US public health work.

President Business, who promised to lower your prices immediately and hasn’t after two months, just charged you an additional 10% on almost every good you purchase, and much more than that on lots of them, even items like food that are often exempt from sales tax.

If you find this deplorable, you can do something about it: across the country there are groups who visit, witness, and advocated for people detained by ICE. They constantly need volunteers. You don't need to be a lawyer.

Dems need to catch up fast. This is narcissistic abuse and you can tell who the first timers are, and who's dealt with this before. Follow the experienced victims, the people not rolling over. Outsmart and outpace the administration. Wake the rednecks and blue collars of America up.
The illegality sometimes gets lost amidst all the idiocy, malevolence, and mendacity
This is blatantly unconstitutional (besides all the other things it also is)

NEW: A source tells me that response teams for FEMA set to deploy to the South Carolina wildfires are unable to travel because their government issued travel cards have had their limits reduced to $1. FEMA response team cards were supposed to be exempt.

When my customers have fraud on their accounts it takes roughly 75 days to switch their direct deposit. And this is what they live off of. It's an ordeal for someone who has just been through the wringer of getting scammed.
A month ago i sat on hold with social security. Estimated time: 2 hours Actual time: 4.5 hours
I can't even imagine what a 50% reduction will do.

New, from @pamherd.bsky.social & I:
Trump said "Social Security would not be touched."
Now the Trump admin proposes a 50% cut in Social Security employees.
This will absolutely gut SSA's ability to serve everyone who depends on the program - which is everyone. 🧵

We aren't going to get them to see reason if we continue to demonize them -exactly as they are demonizing others-. They don't get it, won't see it. We have to humanize -everyone- in order to move forward.

So what results is consolidated rent-seeking by the largest firms. Just 50 firms won nearly half of all federal contract dollars (of more than $1 trillion) in Trump's first four years. Now, DOGE is proposing changes that could potentially further this kind of consolidation.

As @brunjes.bsky.social points out, the first Trump admin prioritized "efficiency" in contracting by consolidating (bundling) smaller contracts into larger ones. IOW, big companies won more contracts. The subset of elite, entrenched government contractors benefited most. 1/2
