Hey all my fellow 60+ folks who had many decades of social security contributions deducted from our paychecks but who haven’t hit the retirement age yet… Aren’t you feeling great now that these 19-25 year old racist misogynists have control of YOUR life’s toil? - ThreadSky

BREAKING — I've confirmed the DOGE staffers at SSA. They are Marko Elez (who was previously fired for racist posts and then reinstated), Ethan Shaotran, Nikhil Rajpal, and Gautier Cole-Killian.

This is per Social Security Works, a non-profit working to protect/expand Social Security.

Stop paying income tax easy fix, they just laid off 7000 IRS agents make them come begging for the money

melissjpeltier.bsky.social•1 day ago

They won’t come begging if you’re of a certain political persuasion.
They’ll just take it all.

Not at all. Trying to figure out whether I should stock up on camping supplies or cyanide pills.

Both.

melissjpeltier.bsky.social•1 day ago

I’d select both.
Get some iodine for the nuclear possibilities as well.

That takes care of me, and my curmudgeon hubby. What's breaking me into pieces are my 30-something sons. I foolishly raised them to be empathetic men of integrity in a multicultural democracy.

melissjpeltier.bsky.social•1 day ago

Not foolishly.
They may be the ones who save America for our 30-something kid & my many second & 3rd cousins.

Social Security benefits breakdown: 78.5% to retired workers, 11% to survivors (a family member of a deceased worker who paid Social Security taxes), and 10.5% to people with disabilities (I’m one of them).

I logged into SS yesterday and printed l my docs. I want to see if anyone plays around with the contribution data or payout info. I’m going to start collecting later this year and I’m very worried. 🤞 Also, do yourself a favor and freeze your credit. Who knows how many people have our ssn now!

melissjpeltier.bsky.social•1 day ago

Good point.

The coup continues with King Donnie’s approval

They may feel about the same as I do at 72, working since age 19, knowing SSI is my only source of income. It is terrifying.

melissjpeltier.bsky.social•1 day ago

I hear you.

alamedamark.bsky.social•1 day ago

I’m 59, but still in that club. Yeah, been paying in for over 40 years and now I’m very worried that we’re about to get screwed. 😡

katesskatess.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yep. Supposed to begin collecting in November. TBH I am more concerned for folks who are currently on SSI/SSDI. To Trump and his gangsters they are low hanging fruit. Many are disenfranchised and live on the edges of society and they are at immense risk.

melissjpeltier.bsky.social•1 day ago

Exactly.

Contributing since 1974. Full retirement age coming up soon. Thrilled that the kids are here to tear it all down.

Right there with you - helluva way to wrap up 40+ years of working
