The Social Security Administration is cutting 7,000 jobs and closing half of its regional offices. It's no coincidence that Elon Musk called Social Security a "ponzi scheme." They're gutting the program YOU'VE PAID INTO to make room for more billionaire tax cuts.
Now is the time to speak up.

Here’s my pep talk after studying authoritarianism:
1). They never truly expect a long-term resistance movement bc they think people are a collection of trauma triggers who are easily controlled thru terror
2). If they can’t terrorize you 24/7 in your mind, they have already lost the war

Millions of citizens’ lives depend on Social Security and Medicare. The political gridlock that began in 2008/2009 has kept the public from providing input on remedies.
