I'm telling you, people, that if Trump/Musk/GOP FUCK with our Social Security program, AMERICA WILL SINK INTO THE WORST RECESSION SINCE THE GREAT DEPRESSION! It won't just affect seniors and the disabled. It will affect our entire economy! THIS IS A SAFETY NET WE PAID FOR!
There was one Roman Emperor that really reminds me of this administration. Caligula. He was erratic and cruel. He declared himself a living god, He punished anyone who criticized him, He lived a debauched lifestyle, and he drained the Roman treasury.

They just canceled my sterilization. And every other woman's within the organization.

I live in Michigan. I'm a 26 yo. I had bilateral salpingectomy scheduled for the 24th. I had this scheduled since before January. I had my pre op appointment last week. I just got a call from my doctors office saying they no longer will be doing the procedure. At all. This was under trinity health, a catholic organization. But my doctor was wonderful and had no issues agreeing to do the surgery.

Yes this was a catholic organization. But I fear this is only the beginning. I have an appointment under a different organization tomorrow to discuss options.

Edit: WOW this blew up. I just want to add. Everyone is focusing on the fact this is a catholic institution. Trinity health is HUGE in Michigan. My primary care provider is through Trinity and she is the FIRST doctor to ever take me seriously. She was a last resort after a lifetime of medical gaslighting. When I saw the obgyn she was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, compassionate and professional. There was NEVER EVER any hint that they would cancel. Never a peep. At the pre op appointment last week Everything was business as usual. Should I have gone to a catholic organization to get this procedure done? In hindsight I guess not. That being said, this illuminates a bigger issue. Since our Healthcare is privatized they have the option to claim religious reasons to cancel these procedures. It is wrong, terrifying and like I said, I fear this is only the beginning.

Prepare for the next phase, where russia—via the US—proposes an unacceptable deal with no real concessions, knowing Ukraine will reject it. Trump and his administration will then shift the blame onto Ukraine for refusing to end the war

If you really wanted to reduce the deficit, you would hire IRS agents, not fire them. If you really wanted to cut the debt, you wouldn't ask permission to add $4 trillion to it. If you really wanted to find government fraud, you'd bring accountants, not teenage coders.

Who all is on the side of BRICS?

Obviously Russia, China, India, Brazil, and South Africa—although I doubt all of the last three to be on any one side. Those five founding countries match the United States GDP presently, with China doing the lion’s share at 19T. While the US is at 30T.

But now the entire Islamic World seems to be rallying around them, and large parts of the world, basically the entire Global South. Africa for example, the Latin American World. Now that’s just Europe and a fey key countries with a total of like 1.5 billion maybe.. BRICS have over 3-4 billion by now, and are developing, unlike the West for the most part. Indonesia has like 300M alone. Iran, Egypt have like 100M, and Turkey too, which is switching. Israel has turned the world against us.

China is adding economic twists to this statistical game, surpassing the US in almost every important manufacturing and financial aspect. They are catching up GDP worldwide

And some close American allies are seeming to waver—and for good reason, as someone from Texas myself. Our government has been wild for a long time now. I mean now Canada is (at least as a trend) not exactly on the United States’ side, much less Mexico.

I know it’s all a stage but that’s a worrying sign for Americans. And it’s crazy how both sides of the isle are just there to fund these wars that are endangering the whole planet.

It’s crazy to think about all the wild stuff that happened in the Cold War, and to dwell on the fact that this is the new reality. It’s even more dangerous now, at first, unless the US can back off. People think that’s what Trump (and the so called deep state of course behind him, but pretending not to be) is gonna do but I don’t know based off their actions.

Sacrifice Ukraine? No problem. Both sides. Push Russia into war no nation wants or needs? Only the “World” Financial Giants like Blackrock and Vangaurd? Check. Sell off all industrial production to China, but also saber rattle with China? Check. “Occupy Gaza… and maybe Panama again, and maybe Canada.. and Greenland.” Check?
