Former Social Security Commissioner Martin O’Malley, who headed the agency during the Biden administration, urged people to start saving money now because benefits could be interrupted in the next one to three months.

It needs to be a near total economic blackout except for stocking up on staple foods combined with a General Strike. We don’t just need Depression Era recipes, we need depression era recipes aimed at cooking and feeding hundreds at once. It’s going to take that level of commitment of mutual aid teams cooking for their community all day every day.
Look, violence is coming anyway but we don’t need to demand the violence first. We can make great headway with non-violence and that gives us time to organize and prepare and have people ready to stand watch and protect when the violence comes.
50501 is doing state capitol protests again tomorrow I believe, and there’s a Ukraine protest at the House office building in DC, and there’s a No Kings protest tomorrow at I think the Capitol ahead of his address to congress.
