BREAKING: DOGE is starting to put together a team to migrate the SSA's computer systems entirely off one of its oldest programming languages in a matter of months, potentially putting the integrity of the system—and the benefits on which tens of millions of Americans rely—at risk.
DOGE Plans to Rebuild SSA Codebase In Months, Risking Benefits and System Collapse
Social Security systems contain tens of millions of lines of code written in COBOL, an archaic programming language. Safely rewriting that code would take years—DOGE wants it done in months.

A teacher in Idaho has been told to remove posters reading "Everyone is welcome here" - specifically because it features different skin tones. As I wrote last week, this is a global political movement that has explicitly set the goal of eradicating the very concept of equality.

I know I should be surprised but this is wild. Blatant actual erasure of history. I am sorry America.
A lovely opportunity to tell someone to eat shit for removing the T from LGBT. Click the link, do a quick scroll (so quick), when asked 'Was this helpful?" click "no" then describe with whatever flourish brings you the most joy, what is wrong with the page (namely, dropping the T).
This is where you go to tell the National Park Service to restore the word "transgender" in its entry on the Stonewall monument.
