Trump and Musk want you sicker so they can be richer

Why we must move the debate from "government spending" to "Elon & Donald's looting."
thecause.substack.com/p/trump-

"the Musk/Trump regime is waging against America's #health care...

"simultaneously increase toxins in our air, #food, & water."... gutting medical #research in "colleges & hospitals in every state." & they are aiming to kick millions—as many as 36 million of the hardest-working #Americans—off of #Medicaid"

#Musk#Trump#News

Yes
the #Trump '#administration' is the worst
and ABSOLUTELY the most incompetent in the history of the #USA
... the worst
but
#Americans must understand that trump and his' administration
Have no interest in 'administering' the nation
For this they are destroying the #social systems
They have no interest in managing it
Their interests are exclusively aimed at their personal economic achievement
so
Don't be surprised if secret plans become public or if everything collapses
...
they do not care.

Social Security, Buffeted by Turmoil, Awaits a New Leader

The billionaire Elon Musk has become fixated on finding #fraud inside the agency, which provides #retirement, survivor and #disability payments to 73 million Americans each month.
nytimes.com/2025/03/24/us/poli

"Musk has claimed that vast numbers of #Americans are fraudulently drawing benefits from the agency, an assertion experts say is demonstrably false."

Elon Musk Is Demolishing the Rationale for Citizens United

The #SupremeCourt said in 2010 that the decision wouldn’t damage Americans’ faith in #democracy. Whoops.
newrepublic.com/article/193058

"in #CitizensUnited v. Federal Elections Commission, in which the court struck down key guardrails against corporate spending in #American elections, Kennedy rejected the allegation that the court’s ruling would have deleterious effects on how #Americans perceived their republic."

#Trump will drag #America into #war.

Not only why Trump is stupid
but above all because ALL #dictators want the #Nation to be at war
Not only many social problems become secondary
War ensures dictators better control of the population
and during a war they can do things that cannot be done during peace.

So #Americans
get ready
Trump will create the conditions for draging America into war.

You didn't want to believe when you were warned about trump before
let's see if NOW you will listen.

@xs4me2

i remind myself of #fascist #spain under #franco and look at spain today

doesn't mean spain is utopia today

doesn't mean "it's going to be ok, relax"

it means getting better is real

but:

1. we have a lot fucking work to do

2. there is a lot of fucking suffering ahead of us

3. do not accept #pessimism #cynicism nor #capitulation

as long as we *fight* we can right this rotten ship

biggest ally of #maga:

lazy indifference

#americans:

get off your fucking asses and fight

Trump Admin Threatens to Stop Social Security If DOGE Can’t Have Personal Data

Trump’s interim Social Security chief says he wants to turn off the program if #Musk & #DOGE can’t access #Americans’ most sensitive #data
rollingstone.com/politics/poli

"Dudek’s threat to block #SSA employees from using the agency’s #IT systems — a move that could halt #SocialSecurity payments — came in response to a judge’s temporary restraining order"

Replied in thread

"Trump & his team have spent the last week ruthlessly going after Judge James #Boasberg, the one who demanded the administration turn around their illegal flights to #ElSalvador. It wouldn’t be a stretch for #Howell to imagine suffering the same fate. Multiple law enforcement agencies proved this week their willingness to use violent force on behalf of #Trump against law-abiding #Americans; why should a #judge be any different?"
thehandbasket.co/p/us-institut

To help #Americans to Understand How #Trump IS SEEN
on the #International stage:
...
Trump is like an 'Ingrown hair'
Unlike of #putiin Who is a killer a DANGER Who must be arrested
Trump is ...
A 'Pimple' that itch and swells with pus
Trump gets 'noticed' 'just because ... is itching (and It's Ugly to see).
(This pimple is embarrassing)

And everyone wonders how long the #Americans will wait
before squeeze the pimple away
(because it becomes more and more big and purulent).

“Significant changes will be coming for Social Security recipients. Millions will no longer be able to verify their identity over the phone, creating a challenge for older #Americans and those with #disabilities. Advocates are raising concerns about the burden this could place on an already vulnerable population. Stephanie Sy discussed more with Kathleen Romig.”
