A senior executive at the Social Security Administration was physically dragged from his office this week after clashing with DOGE, according to The Washington Post.
Greg Pearre, a career civil servant who led an IT team working on the agency’s data systems, was removed over his opposition to a DOGE plan to cut off immigrants from key financial services, three people told the Post.
The scheme cooked up by Elon Musk’s DOGE squad falsely lists thousands of migrants as dead in a Social Security database known as the “death master file.”
Being entered into the death database cuts a person off from crucial financial services, like the ability to receive government benefits and access a bank account or credit card.
Correct. For criminal acts. As Mitt Romney said, “Corporations are people, my friend.” (Yes, I know corporate personhood makes no sense, but this is the messed up world we live in.)
I understand that. And as you noted we’re well past the point of law and making sense. 2 plus 2 is now fish because the Supreme Court said so.
I hope we have some legal sense remaining to where what you’re saying makes sense. It would be a small confirmation law is still a thing.
We’re not past the point of law, there’s just an executive-in-chief who thinks he is. Law still applies to everyone else.
He’s openly defying the SCOTUS, and nothing is happening. The law doesn’t apply to him, therefore it doesn’t apply to us. We are all already dead in the US. Stay armed. If they come for you, make them pay with their lives. Make them fear “just following orders.”
If you’re in the US, you’re already dead. Your body just hasn’t gotten the message yet. Fight like the cornered badgers we are.
Think of it this way, you’re going to be disappeared either way, at least make them pay a price. I’d probably rather die on my front porch than rot in some black site in El Salvador.
What?? No, you’re not likely to get disappeared. Jesus fucking christ the people on this site. Have yall ever talked to an organizer? Ain’t nobody on this forum Fred Jackson. We’re not the Panthers.
Jesus fucking christ touch grass and talk to activists in your area people

In the context of ICE kicking in your door you absolutely are going to be disappeared, this is how it begins. It’s cool that you’re not in any danger but don’t presume what other people are doing or the threats they face.
I tell people as of ten as I can, now is the time. Get a couple guns (a long one and a short one) and learn how to use them. Learn some basic first aid, you really just need to know how to stabilize someone. Start networking with like-minded people in your communities. The police will not protect us, they’ve proven they’ll happily club senior citizens to the ground and shoot any protesters in the face with rubber bullets while escorting a rightwing murderer to safety.’
Get to know people in your community. Take an interest in growing food, learn how to fix things. Get a gun (or two) and learn how to use them, things are likely to get very bad over the next decade. If they don’t at least you got to know your neighbors and learned how to repair a brushless motor (for example.)
“If you’re in the US you’re already dead” what the fuck kind of nonsense is this
My god some people…
Lmao what kind of gymnastics are you doing here?
The law doesn’t apply to him… full stop, that’s what the Supreme Court told him. I don’t recall them invalidating any laws the rest of us have to follow, do you? Cops are still working their beats. Court is still in session. What makes you think rule of law is gone?
Don’t get me wrong, I’m an anarchist and I say FUCK their laws but they’re still in place lol
