I think this might be the original, from a long since suspended account at another platform. :-)

Fascinating!

It's our right and our duty, as stated in the Declaration of Independence.

I'll define his second term in one word: fascism.

Everyone who has registered with SSA[.]gov to monitor their account should have received the email this morning, except perhaps those who have previously unsubscribed. Some have reported that the email went to their spam/junk folders. The bottom line is that this email should never have been sent.

While the email is grossly inappropriate political propaganda, after reading coverage of what's in the legislation and the claims of the email, I don't think it's accurate to state that "acount nothing in it is true." Please be more specific about the lies, quoting from the email.

The Standard Deduction is only increased by a few hundred dollars. The $6,000 is called a "Senior Deduction" and has conditions, so it's not actually part of the Standard Deduction per several articles I just read.

I'm pretty sure that there are only new deductions, not credits, which is a big difference.

The 50501 Movement on Substack A lot of people are expressing confusion about April 19th (the next day of action) and I want to try and help clear it up a bit. ✨️We are calling it a "day of action". Individual chapters/ states c...

Thanks. The Tesla Takedown is weekly, so not specific to April 19. I think that given the paucity of events in the Phoenix area for April 19, that 50501 isn't pushing April 19: substack.com/@50501/note/...

That appears to be in Oklahoma.

No, I'm not finding any April 19 events in Arizona (my state) on the official calendar, on Mobilize, or on the No Voices Unheard calendar. Given that it's also during Holy Week for Christians, this one it's going to turn out the millions that came out for April 5.

Trump’s tariff plan built on misleading trade deficit math Trumps tariff plan built on misleading trade deficit math Trumps tariff chart aligns with trade deficit ratios, not real barriers

How did the U.S. arrive at its tariff figures? The White House Wednesday listed tariff rates for different countries. It didn't take long for market observers to try and reverse engineer the formula.

How were Donald Trump's tariffs calculated? Analysts have questioned claims that new tariffs are reciprocal and based on those charged against the US.

‘His Brain Simply Doesn’t Work’: Trump Mocked Over The 1 Word He Keeps Obsessing Over The president launched into another unexpected aside over the word “groceries.”

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com got it right: "His brain simply doesn't work."

Trump's stunning string of Putin-friendly moves Trump's latest moves could have been plucked from Putin's personal wishlist.

This won't come as a surpise to many of you, but TRUMP IS A TRAITOR!!!

Not that this will do one bit of good, but it's still a form of resistance. (and yes, I saw the Atlantic op-ed about this)

Go, Eagles! Take down the MAGA-infested Chiefs!

There is no such fucking thing as being “too woman” to pilot a helicopter, “too gay” to land a plane or “too black” to be an air traffic controller.

There is however, such a thing as being too hateful, too stupid & too sociopathic to be president.

And we call that Donald Trump.

... and I wonder why @politico.com appears to have stopped posting on @bsky.app 9 months ago? Didn't they get the memo that this is the best Twitter replacement?

Trump fires independent inspectors general in Friday night purge The watchdogs say the removals may be invalid for failing to comply with a 2022 law requiring a 30-day notification to Congress before removals.

This is apparently illegal, but does the lawless Felon-in-Chief actually have to obey any laws? www.politico.com/news/2025/01...

Trump is deporting the guy who mows your lawn but releasing the guy who bashed a police officer’s head in back to your community.

It’s almost as if we all told them this would happen and they just didn’t fucking care.
Or something.

Wouldn't it be a shame if that DEIAtruth@opm.gov email account received a bunch of large pictures of the actual gestapo? commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?...

Thanks for the recommendation! Looks like I can pick up a bottle for $19.99 at one of my local TW stores. 🍷

Bishop Budde is NOT a "Radical Left hard line Trump hater" and she's NOT going to apologize for calling for mercy and for Trump to "honor the dignity of every human being, to speak the truth to one another in love and walk humbly with each other and our God for the good of all people."
