Do these protestors know who’s hands got into the Social Security cookie jar? It wasn’t Trump’s or Musk’s.
“Hands Off” ??? You can’t be serious. Who’s hands are in my payroll every time I cut a check to an employee, and then again in that employee’s paycheck?
I do not know where you are getting your information or beliefs from, Nick.
Trump added 8 trillion dollars to the USA debt less than 5 years ago. You forget about that?
You think that affected Social Security coffers the Republicans have been complaining about and trying to resend, Social Security benefits, for 8 decades now?
Rich wanting more. Rich feeling emboldened. Who cares if you die penniless.
So last night, I watched two of the Indivisible training events where they trained activists for today’s totally pre-scripted, pre-planned and pre-orchestrated protests.
For a movement that continues to say they are non-violence they sure do use a lot of violent rhetoric.
They call the Trump administration a “hostile takeover” and demand a “forceful rejection” of the current leadership.
“Hostile takeover” isn’t the language of peaceful assembly. It’s the language of regime change.
All the trainings prime protestors to see the government not as an institution to reform—but as something illegitimate and dangerous.
The rhetoric gets worse as the trainings go on:
•“We must meet this moment with mass mobilization.”
•“Stop the MAGA takeover of our government.”
•“All hands on deck to stop the fascist threat.”
Indivisible, MoveOn and Working Families Party all had representatives at the training and all three of them provided exact signs and verbiage and tips on how to avoid being tracked.
I have never heard of a spontaneous protest that has weekly organization calls, tool kits, and pre-printed signage for everyone
