Social Security and Medicare have nothing to do with reducing the deficit. Even former President Reagan knew this.
Don't let them gaslight you into cutting OUR benefits.

I'm glad Pete Hegseth has pledged not to drink if he is confirmed as Defense Secretary. So, I guess he can still sexually harass women, mismanage funds, discriminate against women service members, push for a Christian Nationalist agenda, and be a virulent Islamaphobe?
Super duper.
Super duper.

All jokes aside it's really fucked up to see so many people on here celebrating murder. No one here is the judge of who deserves to live or die. That's the job of the AI algorithm the insurance company designed to maximise profits on your health and no one else

I understand Donald Trump for what he is a buffoon. Donald Trump wants you to be scared. Rather than being scared, I am proud to be a happy warrior for democracy. We all need to have the courage to not back down. Do not obey!

Porsha Ngumezi bled for hours in a Texas hospital. She was miscarrying, crying in extreme pain. Porsha was passing massive clots of blood as she lay dying, struggling to breathe.

The Trump ordeal has made one thing clear.
Too many of our checks and balances rely on norms, traditions and the honor code.
It works when those elected into power are people of honor and integrity who respect our norms and traditions.
Elect a lifelong criminal and it all goes sideways.

Project 2025 would attack rather than protect transgender & LGBTQIA+ people from illegal discrimination, denying gender-affirming healthcare, banning use of preferred pronouns in school & erasing LGBTQ people from public view. Support inclusion/diversity.

This is Trump’s FCC pick. By threatening to yank broadcast licenses, he is hoping the media companies obey in advance and won’t say critical things about Trump. It’s a fascist tactic.

This is a direct threat to our military's strength and national safety. Removing brave trans servicemembers, some with nearly 20 years of service, is not only unjust but endangers us all. They deserve respect, not rejection.
News has just broke that Trump plans to eject trans people from the military within days of inauguration.
Trans servicemembers who have served 19 years will lose their pensions and healthcare.
This is obscene. They served our country, and will be kicked to the side like trash.

I wonder if people understand that ICE is supposed to deport criminals right now. But, they can’t find them, probably because they are criminals and good at hiding from cops.
When it comes to mass deportation it is going to be the most law abiding who go first, because they are easiest to find.
