"Many current & former Social Security officials fear the cuts could create gaping holes in the agency’s #infrastructure, destabilizing the program, which keeps millions of people out of #poverty"

"Musk's $277 million campaign contribution secured him unprecedented access to the levers of #Government & cemented his grip on the #political machine... Musk's influence has infected every arm of Govt. And he is using his #wealth, his control of Twitter's husk, & his presence in the #Trump orbit to steer the country away from #democratic principles & toward oligarchic rule."

"in the #US right now is some sort of weird hybrid of the kind of #power grabs we’ve seen in the #tech industry, combined w/a more traditional collapse of #democratic institutions.

...the unprecedented concentration of political, economic, & technological power in the hands of #ElonMusk & his circle of loyal hatchet men as they dismantle democratic guardrails...

This is why #tech journalism’s perspective is so crucial right now"

The abandonment of #Ukraine a #democratic country striving to become less #corruptgop and rid itself of its #Soviet-era kleptocratic remnants, is the biggest betrayal in modern history.

Tonight, at #Trump’s speech, members of the #Democratic #Women’s Caucus — will be dressed in a bright pink.

New Mexico Rep Teresa Leger Fernández, chair for the 96-member caucus, explained to Time that the pink is meant to “signal our protest of Trump’s policies which are negatively impacting women & families.”

[it’s also the color of the #WomensMarch]

Sen #ChrisMurphy said he believed President #Zelensky of #Ukraine appropriately asked #Trump & #JDVance how they could reassure him that #Putin of #Russia would abide by the terms of a #ceasefire agreement. “It is a sad day in America when we are getting closer & closer to Russia, a brutal #dictatorship, & further & further away from #democratic #allies,” Murphy said.

📢 The Free University of #berlin in #germany has cancelled an event that was scheduled to feature 🔵 UN Special Rapporteur on Palestine Francesca Albanese:

The university’s president Günter Ziegler said that the administration decided that the event on FEB-19 “cannot be held as a public event with in-person attendance” due to “polarisation and the unpredictable security situation.”

While I love Kamala, she was not able to unite female voters to defeat a convicted felon and rapist.

That fact is a huge red flag for the future if #Democratic party elites decide they want yet another repeat failure of 1979 and #election2024.

Democrats need to find a way to appeal to the racist white people in the #UnitedStates enough to defeat #republicans.

The #racists aren't going away. In fact, they appear to be in total control at the moment.

Also „The University of Oulu leaves X“

The #University of #Oulu will discontinue university-level communications in the X. … Some Finnish universities, many public administration organizations, associations, and #companies have made the decision to abandon the channel.
"X's reach has dropped considerably. The platform's nature has become unpredictable and an instrument of a certain kind of policy. As a university, we want to participate in a #democratic and constructive debate that includes appreciating #science and #research. Now #X does not seem to offer such a platform," says Marja Jokinen, Director of Communications at the University of Oulu.

Bravo, UniOulu. Great decision! 🎇

No.

#Republicans are very good at #sabotage while the elites in the #Democratic party ignored the white racist vote in the #2024Election.
#Biden won the most elections in modern history because he understands how to fool the white racists enough to get their votes.

Democrats then pass policy that favors all Americans without targeting individuals.
#election2024
You have it backwards.

Remember how hard #Kamala #Harris fought for our votes and for the children of #Gaza and how she won primary after primary offering wins for the working class? Wake up, she's as big a #fascist as #Trump and was chosen not elected in any #democratic process. Neither should ever be in office.

The #workingclass will need to educate, organize and mobilize no matter who wins. The #rulingclass will keep throwing us under the bus under either #plutocracy party.

#2024PresidentialElection

Is #US. #Gaza Policy Hurting #Harris With #BlackVoters?
Survey data shows that the crucial #Democratic #voting bloc rejects the #Bidenadministration’s approach to the #wars in the #MiddleEast.

And still New York has ONLY 2 Senators in the Senate.

Same applies to California and some other States.

Isn't that very un #Democratic ?
YES IT IS.
