BREAKING: Trump's head of Social Security says raising the retirement age "will be considered." That's a betrayal of Trump's campaign promise to protect Social Security.

Instead of making billionaires pay their fair share, the Trump administration wants you to work until you die.

In the wealthiest nation on earth, 25% of seniors should not be living on $15,000 a year or less. We need to EXPAND Social Security, not cut it.

Ruffalo: I'm reaching out to all of my brothers and sisters in the entertainment industry, to join us...They're coming after celebrities because they know we are the last ones to actually be able to have our freedom to speak. So use your platform wisely, use it generously for this movement. #NoKings

Ruffalo: We saw Jimmy Kimmel's show was cancelled. We don't know what the reasons are really...My industry doesn't understand what's happening right now -- but what they do understand is our freedom of speech is being attacked. #NoKingsKickOff @markruffalo.bsky.social

Ruffalo: Nothing worth a damn in life is easy...As Stephen Colbert, whose show was cancelled, said at the Emmys "Sometimes you only truly know how much you love something when you get a sense that you may be losing it. I've never loved my country more desperately." #NoKings @markruffalo.bsky.social

Mark Ruffalo on why he's joining the No Kings protests: These things are shocking to us, but they're also bringing us forward together in a way that needs to happen right now -- for a complete reimagining of our democracy. #NoKingsKickoff @markruffalo.bsky.social

Keya Chatterjee on No Kings and #FreeDC: We're gonna have some Go-Go music when we come out on October 18th in DC! We are going to prioritize joy because that is what is going to get us through this movement is joy and community. @freedcproject.bsky.social @keyachatterjee.bsky.social

Ash-Lee Woodard Henderson: We're going to have millions of know your rights cards at No Kings events. Event hosts have the ability to sign up to get shipments…It's our membership card and it's a visual reminder of what we're all saying together! #NoKingsKickOff @ashdashlee.bsky.social

Joel Payne: Over those 2,000 plus events we had last time, we calculated we had about 5 million people in the streets, and that's fantastic! But again, we want to do bigger and badder than that this time....and we're going to lean on all of you to do that: nokings.org

Ezra Levin: This is a movement that understands cowardice is contagious. When Disney and ABC capitulate 1,000 other institutions are looking at them...That cowardice, it endangers all of us, but it is not inevitable. This is a movement that also knows the courage is contagious. #NoKingsKickOff

Ezra Levin: Strong leaders don't bring the full might and power of the United States of America to fire comedians...He fears what we intend to produce, which is the largest peaceful protest in defense of our rights, our communities, our democracy in modern American history. #NoKingsKickOff

Ash-Lee Woodard Henderson: One month from tonight we're gonna come together across all these communities to say with deep conviction, from the deepest part of who we are, that the people still have all the power. #NoKingsKickoff @ashdashlee.bsky.social

Who's ready for No Kings' October mobilization? Join us for tonight's kickoff call!

Scrapping the cap is a common-sense solution for Social Security’s future!

Alex Lawson: The problem is billionaires that make money off of our discord. They make money off of chaos. They hate things that work. Social Security WORKS, so they want to destroy it. @alaw202.bsky.social

Alex Lawson: They want to pretend like prices aren't skyrocketing, like the value of the dollar is not crashing, like they haven't stolen healthcare from 15 million people, like hundreds of hospitals won't close, but all of that is TRUE. @alaw202.bsky.social @hartmannreport.com

Alex Lawson: The president is not above the Constitution. There are NO KINGS. www.nokings.org

Our Executive Director @alaw202.bsky.social is guest hosting the @hartmannreport.com from 12-3pm ET today! WATCH LIVE as he breaks down Republican attacks on Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid — and how to fight back.

Alex Lawson: [Republicans] passed a law that steals our healthcare to put trillions in the pockets of billionaires. They pressure corporations to tow a political line, otherwise they will lose their ability to operate. @alaw202.bsky.social

Alex Lawson: You have hundreds of hospitals that will close. Hundreds of nursing homes that will close. 15 million people losing their healthcare... All of this stuff is done so that $1 trillion can be given to a tiny group of billionaires in the form of tax handouts. @alaw202.bsky.social

Social Security doesn’t play politics. Social Security plays an essential role in protecting Americans when they retire, become disabled, or lose a family breadwinner.

Social Security is EFFICIENT! The SSA spends less than one percent of its budget on administration, while private pensions often spend 15%.

We DEMAND to know why DOGE accessed the full Social Security records of every American, and stored them on an unsecure private server!

Scrapping the cap is a common-sense solution for protecting and expanding earned Social Security benefits through the rest of the century! @alaw202.bsky.social

Social Security's cost-of-living adjustment this year was only 2.5%. Trumpflation means your hard-earned benefits are worth less.

Raise your hand if you didn’t vote for a billionaire to mismanage your private Social Security data and hand your earned benefits over to Wall Street! ✋

We must stand united against billionaires and Wall Street CEOs who want to destroy Social Security. We need to make the rich pay their fair share so we can protect and expand our earned benefits!

It doesn’t matter if you’re 16 or 61– if you’ve earned Social Security, you deserve every promised payment when it’s time to collect!

TAX THE RICH AND ...

A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security with 100% of their income. A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security with less than 1% of their income. Who agrees it’s time to scrap the cap?

Americans are sick and tired of the relentless sabotage of Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. HANDS OFF OUR EARNED BENEFITS. HANDS OFF OUR HEALTH CARE.

We can never stop holding Republicans accountable for selling us out to satisfy their billionaire paymasters.

Billionaires see Social Security’s $2.7 trillion trust fund as a piggy bank and want to take it for themselves. We have a clear message for them: HANDS OFF OUR EARNED BENEFITS.

We must never let Social Security’s enemies undermine the system by putting up barriers between us and our earned benefits. HANDS OFF.

The poorest Americans are footing the bill for Trump’s billionaire tax handout. The Big Ugly Bill is bad news!

The White House is using the Social Security Administration to create propaganda. Don't be fooled. Social Security field offices have lost 20% of their staff, and in-person and phone wait times are growing.

RFK Jr. is ripping away health care from seniors and children. He MUST resign!

RFK Jr. must resign.

The Social Security Administration is serving more customers than ever with the lowest staffing numbers in the program’s history. Donald Trump and Elon Musk have sabotaged Social Security, and the program is being held together with shoestring and chewing gum.

I've seen the impact of failed policy on my autopsy table. I've seen families devastated by preventable illnesses and tragedy. We cannot afford to keep repeating these mistakes today, especially when we know better. - Dr. Roger Mitchell

RFK's actions are creating confusion, eroding trust in medicine, undermining science, and leaving families and children vulnerable - Dr. Woodie Kessel @drsforamerica.bsky.social

Secretary Kennedy has overseen the largest destruction of the nation's public health system in American history. - Dr. Georges C. Benjamin

"We need an HHS Secretary who believes in science, not conspiracy theories." - @sanders.senate.gov

Donald Trump and Elon Musk used DOGE to sabotage Social Security to steal our private data and create a backdoor path to privatization. In the program’s 90-year history, there has never been a bigger threat to our earned benefits!

Bernie: We are now witnessing a full blown war on science, on public health, and on truth itself...Vaccines work. Period.

@sanders.senate.gov exposed RFK Jr. for who he really is: a corrupt liar and a conspiracy theorist. RFK Jr. should not be the HHS Secretary– he needs to resign or be fired!

Trump and Musk are dismantling one of our most sacred institutions by slashing staff and implementing AI. @socialsecurityworks.org President Nancy Altman goes into more detail. thehill.com/opinion/whit...

“The only reason the system hasn’t already collapsed is that the mission-driven staffers who remain are each doing the work of five people. They are holding Social Security together with shoestrings and chewing gum— but they can’t do it forever.” No we can’t. We really can’t. 💔💔💔
