Trump Accounts are no longer going to be optional- so if you ever plan on having a child in the USA, you should read what I found:

According to the @SocialSecurity Administration's announcement last week, they are modifying the hospital birth registration form so that a Trump Account is AUTOMATICALLY created for your child through that same process.

It will be bundled into the Enumeration at Birth program (EAB), which is the already automated gov pipeline that gives your newborn a Social Security number. It’s one box that you check, you don’t have the option of unbundling it. So if you want your kid to have a Social Security number, they have to have a Trump account.

Which is strange, because according to the IRS and @USTreasury’s public announcements, these accounts only open when a parent actively elects to open one. So which is it? Why is nobody in the government interested in explaining this flagrant contradiction?

Who is going to answer the basic question of what a parent does if they don’t want a government-linked investment account (one that collects biometric data, by the way) created for their child at the exact moment their child’s Social Security number issued?

They can call it a savings account all they want, but a $1,000 deposit is a hell of a cheap price for building a lifelong financial file on every American child before they can consent to anything.

And once the government normalizes linking a person’s identity, financial activity, and predictive systems from birth, who gets to decide what that data will be used to predict later?

We deserve answers immediately. @ndstudio @WhiteHouse

@omgsidewalks Only if we collectively allow it, power comes from consent forced or otherwise. The truth is we outnumber them by millions, and until everyone realizes that, nothing will change

@Faelo_oo My hot take is that Avatar is one of the few franchises that could translate pretty well into live action. The fact that they fucked it up twice is insane

There’s always resource for the police state.

It’s very funny that Mamdani’s m.o. of “find a way to do shit that people need and tell people about it throughout the process” is seen as this revolutionary idea by mainstream politicos

@volcaholic1 When a wind turbine gets wrecked like this it isn’t an ecological emergency for the surrounding landscape, when an offshore oil rig has a similar problem it wreaks havoc on both the surrounding environments and local communities

Congressional Districts with some of the largest Jewish populations in the country just told AIPAC to suck it.

@TheMG3D It feels like an insane thing to say but for PC gaming this is still surprisingly accessible, we still need to sacrifice tech bros to a volcano to get the prices even lower

#BREAKING: NYC Mayor Mamdani: “People often ask me what I think of the state of the Democratic Party? This slate here today is our answer. The Democratic Party must change. They tend to follow that question with another. Who do you want to run in 2028? Then they ask, when does the race for 2028 begin? It starts now. It starts on Tuesday. It starts when we reject a politics that believes in polls more than principles. It starts when we realize that politics, one that waits for political convenience, will never feel the urgency to address the people’s inconvenience.” ✊✊

@DemzDeliver Not sure whether it’s horrifying Bezos won’t feel this at all, or hilarious that he would absolutely be fuming about it

*Every* possible solution to police abuse is downstream of eliminating police unions. Nothing will or even can change before that does.

[Maryam @hell_line0]

the diapers were paid for. walmart called the cops on a pack of diapers that were paid for. a mother lost her precious baby. kohen wiley lost his entire life over a pack of paid diapers. acab. defund the police. fund necessities for children. create an actual safety team that is trained in deescalation , can provide resources for necessities and for mental health. these cops need to be charged for murder when they murder.

20 fucking cops for a noise complaint in LOS ANGELES and people think these guys aren't overfunded.
