Trump's Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent just admitted that the Big Ugly Bill's "Trump Accounts" are a "backdoor for privatizing Social Security."
This follows Trump and DOGE slashing SSA staffing levels to record lows.
Make no mistake: the Trump regime is waging war on Social Security.

As corporate media bows to Trump, public broadcasting has never been more important.
A free press exists to question authority and help the public question it as well.
But authoritarians insist that they must never be questioned.

Interesting typo. Did you mean “same” or “sane”? Unfortunately I don’t think a progressive will be able to get enough votes in the red states that elected Trump to make dems a viable option.

Yes. Why is this allowed to continue? This criminal administration is alienating our allies, destroying our international standing, and isolating us in this world.
Where are our lawmakers? They have the authority and the ability to stop it NOW.
Why are they impotent?

Sorry to hear this Carl. These are the times that try us the most. I hope we can rebuild what they’ve done in just the last 100 days.

Totally disgusted with existing social media kowtowing to Trump. I’ve already left X, now need to leave Meta platforms given Zuck’s behavior and changes. Any advice is appreciated. Is there a way to look for my current FB and Insta friends on BlueSky?
