Strongly recommend calling your reps and freaking out on the phone, both as a self care practice and so they can know that their normally chill constituents are saying things like “I guess if I can’t teach kindergarten teachers to be nicer anymore I shall have to become a bonus army”
A helpful reminder that your average Republican politician still quakes with fear when large numbers of people start asking things like “where’s my/my mom/my grandma’s social security and what are you doing to protect it?” It would be genuinely less scary for you to threaten them with violence than to politely state that you are concerned that your Korea War Veteran grandpa might not get his social security on time.
“Hi, I’m calling on behalf of a extremely sympathetic and socially conservative demographic that always votes, doesn’t have a day job and that cops cannot shoot to see if you are going to prevent them from having groceries. Thanks and have great day!” It’s like firebombing their office but totally legal and can be done from bed.
In response to this nonsense, my 70 year old mother told John Moolenaar (MI-2) or his office staff, “I want you to know that if my or my husbands social security check is ever even five minutes late, you will hear from me. You will hear from me so loudly and so often that you’ll want to get my phone number tattooed on the inside of you eyelids!”
Does that make sense? No. Do I have any idea what she’s talking about? No. But it’s very gruesome yet entirely non-violent threat so the vibe is right. Maybe we could make this phrase a thing? Try it out with https://5calls.org . See how it feels to say, “you’re going to wish you had my phone number tattooed inside your eyeballs, Mike Johnson.” Maybe it can be a thing.
These are cowards. We can torment them relentlessly for the next 19 months then beat them. It’s going to be so great. They’re going to wish they had our phone numbers tattooed inside their eyeballs for some reason, maybe just because they are freaks.
Only a “fraudster” would complain if they missed a check, Howard Lutnick proclaimed.
President Donald Trump’s Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick can’t stop putting his foot in his mouth.
In a podcast appearance Friday, Lutnick ― a billionaire Trump donor-turned-Cabinet member ― pontificated that seniors wouldn’t worry if they didn’t receive a Social Security check one month.
We have 30 days until the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) laws are rescinded. This is the 50-year bedrock of American conservation. Normally, these actions take years but the administration has provided 30 days for public comment gutting clean water and clean air. Drop what you’re doing, before you make any more calls or read any more social media posts, please populate the Federal Register with dissent.

Except the states and municipalities can’t afford to properly fund it on their own and the red states don’t even try. Trump falsely says America is at the bottom of the barrel in education. Well here’s something easy to look up, Red States are at the bottom of the barrel.
All this money they’re going to have after canceling the entire government is going to be given to billionaires and corporations. All of your hard earned money is going to be given as a gift to those who don’t need it.
In Teen Vogue’s special issue cover story, the estranged 20-year-old daughter of Elon Musk talks about the “cartoonishly evil” Trump administration and being a young trans woman today.
