šØšš» Trump isnāt just rewriting the rules.
Heās coming for your rights. He tried to cut off Social Security phone lines. He handed your tax data to Muskās private army. Heās punishing lawyers who held Fox accountable for 2020 lies.
In your state. At the agency helping your family. Inside your benefits. None of this is theoretical. Itās personal. The courts are blinking. Congress is buckling. And heās betting you wonāt notice until itās too late.
ā Call your reps. Tell them we’ve all seen the playbook. Tell them that you wonāt stay quiet while your future gets sold off to cronies and cults.
Then get out there and prove it.
