For fuck sake, it’s not a legitimate question regarding a third term, it is fucking UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

Media fucking pandering to the idea is utter stupidity.

Cover it like this, “President Trump has spoken about running for a third term but this is against the 22nd Amendment. Full 🛑.

Maybe little kids won't be shot to death if we put the same amount of resources and effort into preventing gun violence as we put into arresting immigrant workers at Home Depots.

Jay Carey was arrested and released for burning a flag in front of the White House. The Secret Service is now calling members of his family in what appears to be an intimidation campaign.

OK so I promised I would revisit how to protect your personal information in light of the news today that the DOGEbags uploaded a ton of people’s information to a cloud server that could be hacked, thanks to an SSA whistleblower. Here’s my original thread from like February, but I have some updates.
I know there is some anxiety around how to protect yourself in light of Muskrat and his herd of shitler youth getting their hands on all our personal information so here are the steps you can take to protect yourself. I’ve seen these in various threads but thought it worth putting them together🧵 1/?

This was written in incredible haste, and it has grammatical tics all over the place but:

tldr:

STOP being an activist for social justice for now. START being an activist in your microclimate of expertise.

Defend LOCALLY in new ways.
One of the worst fucking things about being an activist is herding all the cats.

Each cat is good and great. 🧵

Every activated Guardsman has a family, a job, school, or something that they are leaving to do their duty.

It’s one thing when it’s a war… or a real mass civil disturbance, which those only last a few days.

But to rip these people from their lives for a show… is awful.

The truth? The bill does not eliminate federal income taxes on Social Security benefits. Due to reconciliation rules used to pass it, the bill only provides a temporary tax deduction, not a full exemption.
