Behold the #SocialSecurity Administration’s #AI #Training Video
Social Security workers are being asked to use an AI #chatbot. An animated video on how to do so failed to mention that the chatbot can’t be trusted with personally identifiable information.

This is the first step in erasing people for real. Memory-holing humans in a technical age is the step that precedes eliminating them for real. This should terrify everyone, not just Black and brown people.

"Last night, a fed judge issued a preliminary injunction barring DOGE’s access to sensitive #SocialSecurity data, saying the govt flouted the law to provide unfettered access to #DOGE w/o a reasonable basis.
DISMANTLING #CFPB: Judge A Berman Jackson has called a 10am hearing on whether the Trump admin violated her order agst large-scale dismantling of the agency. She's seeking details of a purported reduc in force & the order to implement it."

We have a guy who's literally dismantling any little #USA state assistance like the #Education Department, #SocialSecurity, everything. AND THESE FUCKERS STILL DO NOTHING!
Their energy is funneled to the #DemocraticParty & Trojan horses like #AOC & #BernieSanders to demand us #VoteBlue.
#Arizona "Attorney General Kris Mayes continues to hold the federal government accountable for the illegal and unconstitutional actions by President Trump and Elon Musk, including reversing devastating federal firings and funding freezes.
Your #SocialSecurity checks and services should be continuing normally—but if they are not, please report it here. "

Labour’s proposal to implement a new “4-point rule” for PIP would strip over 1.1 million disabled people of their vital daily living support. This is a stealth cut disguised as reform — and it’s set to deepen poverty and hardship for the most vulnerable. It’s not just about numbers; this change will affect the lives of hundreds of thousands of disabled people, particularly those with mental health conditions, fluctuating disabilities, and complex needs.
If you’re concerned about the impact of these changes, here’s a template letter you can use to write to your MP and make your voice heard.
Read more from Mike, all about the proposed changes and how you can take action:
I know people whose social security payments didn't come through when they were supposed to in the last few days. Is anyone else experiencing, or does anyone else have knowledge of, something similar? #SocialSecurity
#California Attorney General Rob Bonta has set up a webpage to report #SocialSecurity disruptions
Honestly, I believe people deserve what they #vote for, so, if the government wants to cut #Medicaid, #Medicare, and #socialsecurity, just cut registered #Republicans, and keep everyone else on the programs. Problem solved.
US Rep Melanie Stansbury (NM) was denied entry to the Social Security office here in Albuquerque all because of Elon Musk and DOGE cuts. This is NOT Normal! Thank You Melanie!

For some people, a missed check is a death sentence. What to do before & after DOGE kills
The push extends across agencies: Last week, the #SSA entered the names & #SocialSecurity numbers of >6,000 mostly Latino immigrants into a database it uses to track dead people, effectively slashing their ability to receive benefits or #work legally in the #UnitedStates. Federal #tax & #immigration enforcement officials recently reached a deal to share confidential tax data for people *suspected* of being in the #US illegally.

It eventually helped lead to the physical removal last week of a top career executive, who had been warned he would be fired if he kept refusing to let #DOGE into #SocialSecurity’s systems.
At the same time, #LelandDudek *mistakenly* let one of the DOGE reps into a #SSA database last week, violating the #CourtOrder…. That error led a federal judge to summon Dudek for a hearing Tues…, but the #Trump admin said in a filing late Monday that he would no longer appear.
