Courage is contagious. I miss her.

WIRED reported:
DOGE to Rebuild SSA Codebase in Months, Risking Benefits & System Collapse. Musk plans to SWAP OUT ALL THE SOFTWARE that makes our Social Security system run, and roll it out w/o adequate testing. When your Social Security check doesn’t show up, this is why. Capitol (202) 224-3121.

Witkoff in Russia (mtg w Put*n) while signed into Signal war chat. Timing TBD. Claims his govt issued phone was secure (but used a public app on it?) Meanwhile, an exec order signed to restrict voting rights, refusing election funding for states that don't comply. WTF.

Some light at the end of the dogey tunnel. Halting access by legal ruling is just the start, though. The phone # is removed from the SSA website. NJ i.e. has 2 offices "open" but no in person visits, phone calls only, but phone removed. Temporary claims? I dunno.

If you care about people on Social Security and Disability, or care about your future on it, this peition is from the reputable Social Security Works. If he keeps going, Musk will destroy SSA in 30-90 days acc. to former SSA Comish. Read, and Sign it to stop.

Every word of this is a gem. He always, always seems to be a humble, wise, man.

When DOGE found a loophole in the banking systems and took $80.5 million from NYC's Citibank account, retroactively, including funds spent; it was a big red flag that they could do that to any of us through SSA, SSDI, Medicare or the IRS. And now, here we are. Harrass your Congress peops!!

Must listen. Some excellent information and actions we can all take right now, to help bring DOGE to court.

If you think this is as wrong as i do, cancel your WaPo subscription. I didn't subscribe, b/c I felt they were already biased, but got their email headlines. Not anymore.

Someone else to be grateful for, @marcelias.bsky.social and his tireless fight for justice, and accurate information on the rise of fascism in the U.S.

As a writer and a citizen, Ruth Marcus's resignation letter is not just heartbreaking, but disturbing. More than ever, we need to find the qualified journalists who are leaving corrupted publications and support those publications who understand what "the integrity and independce of the press means.

So many unlawful acts from this admin, we could post non-stop. Grateful for reporters like Brett Murphy fr @propublica.org. He found that Inspector Generals cell phones were cut off world-wide for 24hrs, bc the DOGE cut their AT&T contract /wo jurisdiction. Carelessness, lawlessness are dangerous.

Watching the delectable show, "Recipes for Love and Murder." Delicious, beautifully written, intrigue. Acorn TV is a great escape during these ridiculous times.

No warning, no severence, sudden loss of health insurance, sudden loss of income... Is that leadership? is that good for the economy? No.
