If you call because your social security check didn't arrive you are a "fraudster".
Unbelievable. You paid into SSA your whole life. That money is yours.
In 2025 SSA benefits represented ~31% of income of people over 65. Seniors NEED this.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO
