Thank you, Qasim, for mentioning that utter bullshit SSA email. When I read that yesterday, I was furious! So glad you saw it, too, and have set the record straight!
No, the merch is party of their tactic to normalize this horrific place. If people wear t shirts and hang posters of AA, it becomes just like a Taylor Swift shirt or Life is Good...
If you haven’t seen the mounting evidence that the 2024 election was manipulated electronically after votes were cast, check out smartelections.us, electiontruthalliance.org and thecommoncoalition.com. These nonprofits are raising money to sue for forensic audits of official returns to see if they agree with the ballots cast by voters. Audits will prove whether the manipulation of vote counting that is strongly suggested by multiple statistical analyses did, in fact, occur. If it did, election security needs to be radically improved before the 2026 midterms or Dems could be cheated out of winning — again.
Thank you for the detailed information on the terrible bill to slash safety net programs, and increase taxes, for the poorest income people. Cruelty is the definition of the Republican party.
I am entirely heartbroken. Was with an immigrant family yesterday who was devastated by their family member's deportation. Mutual aid and ice court watch/immigrant rights advocacy is a way forward, as well as everything else admirable people like you are doing.
Thank you for your thoughtful analysis as usual. I'm sad today and will treat it like any other day. As a former history teacher, I used to read the Dec of Indep and the history of how it came about. People working together for the good of everyone. I live in a very red county in NC and I see people all around me just smiling and are 😊 happy and I just can't understand it. I have 2 Catholic sisters who live down the street from me and that's who I turn to when I need some comfort. They see the inhumanity in this bill and during this administration. For the first time in my life, I've seen nuns cuss!
I try to engage my neighbors in discussion of this bill and all they say is....."they'll Figure it out." How can you figure out how to get medical care for you or you family when you have no money except for food and housing. ?
The lack of empathy of many Americans towards anybody else is just astonishing to me.
A new day of independence needs to be established once these tyrants are thrown out. A new political party needs to be established called the American party who believes in helping all Americans.
The concentration camps for humans is something I can't comprehend and will not discuss that, but please know I will see about legal options.
The people who voted for Trump weren’t paying attention. The blame game on the democrats was tiring to hear. I want the people who cheered this on through ignorance to suffer for it deeply. I have a neighbor who says that Trump is the greatest president that ever lived. Somehow, we knew that this bill would pass and this would be our future. Everyone, hang in there.
Hey Qasim! I did so too get that weird email from ‘Social Security’ at around 10:50 last night, and would add to your knowledge that it is, of course, bullshit, by noting that it did not come from ssa.gov directly. Moreover, SSA never sends propaganda like that—hey! That’s fraud, ain’t it??
My email came from subscription.service@subscriptions.ssa.gov so I'm pretty sure it was a legit government email. It's still propaganda and bullshit but it does seem like it came from somewhere within the Social Security Administration. And remember to forget what any government agency did in the past because this is a whole new, ugly ball game. The words "never" and "always" no longer apply. They do whatever takes their fancy at the moment.
Thank you for “addressing this”. The short recaps are easier to digest. When I received the notice from Social Security I immediately looked it up. Of course the memo was so lacking truthful information. I appreciate all your reporting. It helps me understand better what is going on. Thank you.
It’s definitely doing what 2025 Mandate said it would do. Believe what you’re told, when you’re told it
I also got that email from SSA and immediately thought, "Wait, what?! Now we are receiving state sponsored propaganda BS directly into our inboxes!?!"
Thank you, Qasim, for mentioning that utter bullshit SSA email. When I read that yesterday, I was furious! So glad you saw it, too, and have set the record straight!
I was in disbelief and thought it was from a spam account. Was mortified (but I guess it is predictable) that they did this.
Today is the 4th of July, so as the child of immigrants (including some "illegal" ones) I'll share a link to a great Ken White (Popehat) article:

Spent a half hour reporting shops on Etsy and Amazon for Alligator Alcatraz.
“Dorm” flags, mugs, travel mugs, t-shirts, baseball caps, car and phone decals, sun visors, magnets. That’s just from 7 pages of products
Shocking that there is merch
No, the merch is party of their tactic to normalize this horrific place. If people wear t shirts and hang posters of AA, it becomes just like a Taylor Swift shirt or Life is Good...

They do not research and many are iliterate! My housekeeper voted for him. She said she doesn't understand the news!

I’m sure SCOTUS will find a way to uphold it! 😡
I got that email as well. I do not believe a single thing this regime publishes.

The source? DOGE oversight!
The irony is intentional. Our own intentions to keep people safe with genuine liberty protected by law will save us.
It feels as if Independence Day will become a thing of the past. We are losing our independence slowly each day.
I mourn the loss of the country that I grew up in.
The American flag I have is hanging "upside down" at this point to reflect the crisis that we all are feeling.
Thank you, Qasim, for your breakdown of the Ugly, Horrible bill & may everyone who voted YES for this bill rot in hell!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻☮️☮️☮️

This is the weaponization of systemic violence!
