Some powerful #truth to #power here, from a person, entity who has 'done stuff' before, and has awoken for these times.
#MakeAmericaSane (er / ish)

#Oligarch vs. #Anonymous & (necessarily) "We the People".
Happy Spring! May #democracy re-grow.

Meanwhile, boomers.... Hope you weren't counting on your *earned* social security benefits!

twitter.com/MartinOMalley/stat

Musk is coming for Social Security, and its prior head thinks the agency will crater within 90 days.... bye bye benefits.

(The #disinformation story line is that immigrants have been receiving benefits. Nope.)

Just saw him speak w/ Stephanie Ruhle. ⚠️

X (formerly Twitter)Martin O'Malley (@MartinOMalley) on XThis will cripple the agency that has already been paralyzed by President Musk and President Trump. Our seniors deserve so much better. https://t.co/O74nZ6I7v3

Suddenly everyone's focused on the antics and destruction of Lord Elon of #Muskville as he demolishes "America", specifically all that is good about #democracy and aspiration for a land of and for "We the People" of the non-billionaire variety. Us little ones, "those people" for whom laws apply. Now Sir #TrumpVirus and his merry cult of #GQP are giddily celebrating their power as the King of #WordSalad spews on and nobody notices the Emperor wearing no #cognitive clothing.

Cartoon by Matt Davies: Donald Trump is standing atop the rubble of buildings on Wall Street. The buildings are all collapsed but at the top (Left to Right), a flapping American Flag, the roof and some of the pillars of the STOCK MARKET, with Trump standing on top, dark suit and long red tie draped down the top of the roof... Underneath, the jumble of collapsed builldings, left to right and clockwise: GOVERNMENT FUNDING .... POLICY .... TRADE and TARIFF ... U.S. ALLIES ... and in the lower right, CONSTITUTIONAL FREEDOMS Trump screams across to another demolished building, where - on the rooftop - is sitting Uncle Sam, in red, white & blue, and tophat. TRUMP to Uncle Sam (America), gesturing into the sky: "NOW FOR PHASE 2"

@w7voa

Forcing closed 4 airports (including Orlando), causing how much damage?

And this is the stable genius who is slashing the FAA while saying his guys will come in and make it safe.

Sort of like Sir #TrumpVirus saying only he can save the economy, by blowtorching jobs and regulations, while declaring war on our allies and friends (historically) and declaring war on compassion & (literally) social security and #truth and health & education.

But back in #Muskville, proud owner of DJT..

Cartoon/graphic by Steve Greenberg: DOGE* to English Instant Translator Device * Department of Government Efficiency In the center spotlight is a device with screen and microphone speaker. Onscreen is Elon Musk, in gray t-shirt and jacket, shoulders up. Under the screen are two big round buttons, to translate from "DOGEish" (green button on left) to "English" (blue button on right). Beneath the buttons is the device brand label: "Orwellian Industries". On the left of the device (in the cartoon frame) are (DOGEish) speech bubbles against a yellow background. On the right there are speech bubbles against a blue which are the phrases translated Translations (READ ACROSS) DOGEish > Englsh "We are eliminating waste, fraud and abuse" > "We are cutting anything that hampers Elon Musk's profits" "Out team has the highest security clearances" > "We gave the clearances to ourselves" "USAID has to die" > "We hate poor people" "We will cut $$ Trillions by ferreting out waste" > "And those $$ Trillions will go to billionaires." "We have authorization at the highest levels" > "Donald Trump has no idea what we're doing" "Our young team will not look at any personal or taxpayer data and keep it absolutely secure" > "We have a bridge in Brooklyn that we'd like to sell you"
