Trump is BREAKING Social Security.
DOGE forced out THOUSANDS of the most experienced Social Security workers.
Every month, it gets more difficult for Americans to get the benefits they've earned — and it will only get worse as backlogs pile up.
Speaking of Social Security… How has President Trump threatened Social Security? Let us count the ways.
Reminder: Trump and Congressional Republicans were responsible for billions in cuts to food assistance, Medicaid, and more programs that help working people to pay for tax cuts that benefit their billionaire donors. #SOTU2026

Grateful that I had a chance to see and hear from the Reverend Jesse Jackson twice - once when he was the keynote speaker for Central Michigan University’s Martin Luther King Jr. Week in 2007, and again in 2023 at @netrootsnation.bsky.social.
Sorry but it should be illegal to kiss up to your old boss this much in public
Don't miss #NN26 in June! (and check out #NN25 clips too).
"My mind can receive it, my heart can believe it, I know I can achieve it."
Reverend Jesse Jackson was the embodiment of relentless service. On behalf of the entire Netroots community, thank you for your fire, your faith, & your tireless work for the people.
Rest in Power, Reverend. #JesseJackson
A meme is a small person standing at a fork in the road. One points to a Sunny castle and reads “our digital strategy training” and the other leads to a spooky castle under a dark sky and is labeled “just winging it”.
Nonprofit staff, union siblings: New Digital Best Practices starts Thurs! Here’s fork in the road is: get the training you need or does your boss just not care if digital is successful? Register for @newmediamentors.bsky.social online webinar series. registration.socio.events/e/newdigital...

Perhaps you work for a nonprofit, candidate, union or other social change organization that is posting to X but not on here.
Perhaps you'd like to change that & explain why in terms rooted in strategy instead of ethics.
May I suggest my training kicking off Thurs? I don't only cover social media

NO ICE AT SUPER BOWL
A banner flew over Denver’s Empower Field, urging the NFL to keep ICE out of the game.
More than 150,000 people have already signed our petition calling on the NFL to keep ICE out— and counting 👇
Minneapolis workers are the best among us. Facing freezing temps to peacefully stand for truth, freedom, and calling for ICE to leave Minnesota is true solidarity in action.
Today, Minneapolis sent a clear message: ICE is not welcome here, and we will protect our community!

The clergy just keep coming to this anti-ICE protest.
Genuinely unclear where they all will go — it’s packed outside on the sidewalk already.
Okay sorry one more shot:
Rabbi @baratellman.bsky.social is in Minneapolis alongside hundreds of clergy from across the country, as part of a JFREJ delegation from NYC answering the call from local organizers to come, bear witness, and support the city as they continue resisting ICE’s brutal occupation and attacks.
