"Musk’s DOGE is responsible for gutting the Social Security Administration, slowing down service, and already preventing Americans from accessing the funds they’re entitled to under the program. …

Elon Musk is a thief. He’s robbing you and everyone you know blind. He’s stealing from you and your family to enrich himself."

It turns out that a 2017 partnership between #SocialSecurity and DHS allows migrants with valid work authorization to receive a Social Security number. It was #Trump himself who signed off on it. So if there is rampant fraud like #Musk claims, then Trump has nobody to blame but himself. newsnationnow.com/us-news/immi

"That’s really the best word to describe SSA right now, just complete, utter chaos,
They couldn’t understand the coding, so everything they said SSA was doing illegally, they weren’t. Common sense is something they lack. They don’t know what they’re doing.”

Three grandchildren of the founders of Social Security including a grandson of FDR speak out to warn Americans: Trump, Musk, and the Republican Party are coming for Social Security, and being blind to this plan and cavalier about it will have disastrous consequences.

"The bluster around tariffs and revenue does create a good smokescreen to divert attention from the key Republican policy, redistributing wealth from the average citizen to the wealthy.

For all their talk about the revenue that these tariffs are going to bring in, Republicans are once again proposing massive tax cuts for the rich."

"Many Americans are watching their retirement savings melt away because of President Trump’s disastrous trade policies. In normal downturns, they could at least reassure themselves that Social Security would always be there. The program was created during the Great Depression precisely because it was clear that the market would not provide for retirees."

Thousands gather in #BangorME for "#HandsOff!" rally

by Cali Warren Apr 5, 2025

BANGOR -- "On Saturday, Bangor's waterfront was packed with thousands participating in an initiative called "Hands Off" - one of several protests happening all over the state and nation.

"'Hands off, it's a national mass mobilization so all over the world, all over the country, people are taking protests to the streets,' said organizer Amanda Roy.

"Protesters advocated against cuts to healthcare and government offices, and rallied for #equality and rights for #PeopleOfColor, #immigrants and the #LGBTQ+ community.

"You name it, we're facing critical cuts, veterans and their benefits, federal employees, everything. This isn't the America that I want to live in," Roy stated.

"'I think a lot of people are here because, hands off of our #SocialSecurity, hands off of our #Medicaid, hands off our #healthcare, hands off our #HumanRights, our #CivilRights,' explained rally volunteer Deborah Lee.

"Elected officials say it's important to hear Mainer's voices at these large-scale protests.

"'We don't have billions or millions here in Maine, we're just regular Mainers speaking up, but we the people do have the power to make change and to stand up for our communities and to help each other,' explained Secretary of State Shenna Bellows, who attended the rally as a guest speaker.

"'What a time to be alive, we are all living in history...I honestly would not choose to be in another time than this one right here. I feel so incredibly moved to just exist right now, in this moment where I see such energy, such #resistance, such camaraderie,' said Bangor City Council Member Joseph Leonard."
