This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

Once Trump and MAGA go after Social Security - and they will - you will see a new level of rage, shock, and desperation that will wake up even more folks. Republicans have already tried to gut SS and it's always backfired. They're overplaying their hand. Let them.

It seems to me that if Musk has proof that millions of social security checks have gone out illegally to dead people, he should be presenting that evidence in front of a grand jury under oath tomorrow instead of shitposting it on social media. When can we do this under oath?

If they win, they'll be the first unionized Amazon facility in the South.
