Even more Trump chaos at the Social Security Administration…
Several field offices across the county are currently closed to the public. And many more are critically understaffed "ghost offices".
This is what mismanagement of our Social Security looks like – and beneficiaries are paying the price.

Jay Bhattacharya has ordered that a paper showing the effectiveness of COVID19 vaccines in preventing severe disease and hospitalization be suppressed and hidden.
This man has been crying nonstop about political censorship for 6 years.
But he’s the one who is actually doing it.
"I think you're dangerous to the American public and you oughta be fired," Rep. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) tells RFK, condemning his "draconian cuts" to the CDC.
"And if you're not fired, you ought to have the decency to resign. You're way in over your head."
Here is how depraved, cynical, and mindless the republicants are: they tried to undermine the Endangered Species Act on Earth Day.
Just out here bragging about how effective the war crimes are
Amidst all the GOP whining tonight, a reminder that the Democrats would currently control the House were it not for the late, illegal GOP gerrymandering in GA & NC in 2024.
Keep at it Ukraine! It's incredibly touching how you are providing Russians with so many keepsake moments. Heart warming and oil burning all at once.
PROBLEM: Our troops are facing food shortages while deployed.

Charles, you are one wry dude.
Congratulations!!!
You listening, @governor.ny.gov? I'm one of your constituents, and I'm sick of the high price we pay for electricity. Fossil fuels are not the answer. Do right by the planet and the people of New York: turbocharge renewables while banning data centers.
Secretary of War Pete Hegs... • © • 39m The War Department is once again restoring freedom to our Joint Force. We are discarding the mandatory flu vaccine requirement, effective immediately.
General George Washington required Continental Army soldiers be inoculated for smallpox. We would not have won independence if he hadn’t.
You dumb chucklefuck.
After more than $250 billion in revenue and billions more in subsidies, Tesla has never paid taxes... that's thanks in part to tactics like pretending $18b in profits came from places like Singapore and the Netherlands

CNN put together a montage of Trump saying as far back as March 9 that his war against Iran "is going to be finished pretty quickly," then him saying that same thing over and over for the past six weeks
Why not here?
“The US has provided no evidence that any of the vessels were involved in drug trafficking, and legal experts and rights groups say the attacks amount to extrajudicial killings as they apparently target civilians who do not pose any immediate threat.”

Somebody tell me what those "Don't Tread on Me" stickers are all about, 'cause it sure ain't liberty.
I just....This man is nominated to be...a kindergartener? A wasp? A fungo? The dumbing down under t–– is picking up pace.
Injustice x2:
Renewable energy generation exceeded rise in global electricity demand in 2025
Output from solar rose by a third while electricity from fossil fuels fell.

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.
The Klan Act worked. Not only were there prosecutions but lawsuits as well, and the organization was crushed. Part of the tragedy of Reconstruction is that persistent racism & the decline of race as an issue of concern in the north led to the end of the "enforcement acts" & the re-rise of the Klan.

Today is your last chance.
It’s a temporary countermeasure with a message:

If there was a place where Baudrillard would be laughing in the afterlife, he would be laughing now.
And EIGHT of 'em. Lotsa problems with Congress....
Trump, who said in the 2024 campaign that Kamala Harris would start World War 3, compares his war against Iran to World War II
"Unvarnished racism" indeed. Utterly vile stuff. Gill isn't fit to shovel a pig sty, much less serve in Congress.
Happy this paper at Journal of Urban Affairs is finally out :)

Damn right! Going back to fossil fuels is like going back to the 50s. We need energy sources and energy policies to match our times. Our electric bills this winter (in Rensselaer County) were INSANELY high. I don't know how others could afford them. Thank you @weact4ej.bsky.social!
Virginia, gerrymandering doesn’t start in Congress. It starts with the map. Tomorrow you decide who controls it. #VoteYesVirginia
