Maggie MaybeUm, do you guys know how the credit bureaus know you’re dead? The SSA tells them.This is going to ruin these people’s lives. Sure they’ll eventually be able to fix it, but if they need to replace their car or if they need to close on a mortgage before our rate lock expires, or if they need to rent an apartment, this is gonna fuck them over.DOGE’s Social Security Cuts Create Chaotic ‘Day of the Dead Living’ <a href="https://archive.is/qPNiu" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://archive.is/qPNiu</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/SSA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SSA</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/FICO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FICO</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/disability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#disability</a>

AnarchoNinaAnalyzesSo, how ominous of a sign is it when the white nationalist government that's openly violating the US Constitution to facilitate fascist mass deportations, decides to declare thousands of immigrants legally dead for all intents and purposes? This week Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem (aka Cracker Fascist Barbie) and acting Social Security commissioner (and gammon-y human thumb) Leland Dudek, got together and "terminated" the "financial lives" of 6,000 immigrants the regime claims are "convicted criminals and 'suspected terrorists,'" by moving their Social Security numbers into the agency's "death master file."<a href="https://www.commondreams.org/news/trump-social-security-immigrants" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.commondreams.org/news/trump-social-security-immigrants</a>'Outrageous Abuse of Power': Trump Weaponizes Social Security for Deportation Spree"The Trump administration this week reportedly classified thousands of immigrants living in the United States as dead in a Social Security database in an effort to force them out of the country, a scheme that was met with furious uproar from advocates and lawmakers.By entering the names and Social Security numbers of roughly 6,000 immigrants into Social Security's "death master file," the administration has revoked their ability to legally work in the U.S. and receive benefits in a bid to get them to "self-deport," several news outlets reported Thursday."This is an outrageous abuse of power," Nancy Altman, president of the advocacy group Social Security Works, said in a statement. "It will not only create extreme hardship, but kill people. Imagine, in one Trump administration keystroke, losing your income, your health insurance, access to your bank account, your credit cards, your home, and more.""If they get away with this, it would be no surprise if they then move on to marking their perceived enemies as dead—citizens and non-citizens alike," Altman added. "This is a total misuse of the dedicated revenue that workers contribute to Social Security, with every paycheck. Though Trump claimed he wouldn't cut benefits, he essentially is by diverting dedicated monies from their intended purpose of paying Social Security benefits to the immoral purpose of maliciously ruining lives."First off let me start by noting that some, if not the majority of folks targeted by the Trump regime for financial termination are people with valid social security numbers, and while undocumented immigrants can pay into Social Security, they can't collect even when they reach retirement age anyway; so this has nothing to do with migrants stealing benefits, or preventing fraud. Additionally it should be pointed out that while we're being assured that those targeted are all "convicted criminals and "suspected terrorists," our source for that is the very same administration trying to deport student visa holders for traffic tickets and telling you anti-Tesla protestors are "domestic terrorists," so who the fuck knows what that assertion even means anyway; it appears that at least some of the targets are simply people "who were allowed to enter and remain temporarily in the United States under programs instituted by the US president’s predecessor Joe Biden" according to The Guardian. Finally, it should be understood that this is about a lot more than collecting Social Security benefits in your late 60's; in modern American society you typically need a Social Security number to open a bank account, get a credit card, rent an apartment, obtain health insurance, access car loans, and so forth, so when Dudek says they're trying to "exterminate" the "financial lives" of targeted immigrants, he's only partially employing a metaphor here; the opponents of the plan calling this "digital murder" are absolutely right to do so. This is definitely going to destroy lives and get people killed, and as the article notes the regime is reserving the right to expand the list of targets to "others in the country without authorization," which sounds rather ominous when we're talking about a government that's taken to having Marco Rubio instantly revoke visas and legal status for student protestors before ICE kidnaps them. All of which means that even if the regime's actions are taken in the best possible light, this is fascist bullshit designed to push a nativist, white nationalist agenda while harming folks the administration deems illegal primarily for their skin tone and place of birth. As both a target of the regime's ongoing anti-trans pogrom, and a student of history however, I can't help but notice an ominous déjà vu quality in all of this. Historically speaking, mass deportations have always lead to mass graves, and when a fascist regime declares you and folks like you legally dead, it's usually because they mean to eventually make that a literal reality. <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fascism</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/DHS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DHS</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/KristiNoem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KristiNoem</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/ICE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ICE</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/LelandDudek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LelandDudek</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/SocialSecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SocialSecurity</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/SSA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SSA</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/WhiteNationalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WhiteNationalism</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/MigrantRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MigrantRights</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Nativism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nativism</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Genocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Genocide</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/History" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#History</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/DigitalMurder" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DigitalMurder</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/MassDeportations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MassDeportations</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Immigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Immigration</a>

MissConstrueHoly shit y'all...this is bad. Really, really bad. Their “financial lives,” the Social Security Administration’s acting commissioner, Leland Dudek, wrote in an email to staff, would be “terminated.”The effort hinges on a surprising new tactic: repurposing Social Security’s “death master file,” which for years has been used to track dead people who should no longer receive benefits, to include the names of living people who the government believes should be treated as if they are dead. As a result of being added to the death database, they would be blacklisted from a coveted form of identity that allows them to make and spend money.On Tuesday, <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/AramMoghaddassi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AramMoghaddassi</a>, a software engineer working for <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/DOGE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DOGE</a>, sent Mr. Dudek the first batch of names to be added: a list of more than 6,300 immigrants, including a 13-year-old and seven other minors.<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/10/us/politics/migrants-deport-social-security-doge.html?unlocked_article_code=1.-k4.T5Nf.m-Dm8UB0A62d" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/10/us/politics/migrants-deport-social-security-doge.html?unlocked_article_code=1.-k4.T5Nf.m-Dm8UB0A62d</a><a href="https://mefi.social/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USPol</a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/SSA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SSA</a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/DeathList" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DeathList</a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/TrumpWillKillUsAll" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TrumpWillKillUsAll</a>
