This is outrageous.
Americans often call Social Security at the most stressful times of their lives, such as when they've lost a loved one or become disabled.
They need fully trained experts (like the thousands DOGE forced out) on the other end of the line.

we know this, but a reminder: anytime ICE CBP etc says they’re drawing down their presence in a city, it’s bullshit. whatever their numbers, lawless federal agents remain behind & still cause havoc & kidnap people. Also relocated agents just go somewhere else to destroy lives. Abolish ICE end DHS

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here.
Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

Someone told me lately "Bluesky is just like Twitter." I argued that was untrue on the basis that last time I had a Twitter account most times I got a new follower their bio said "single & looking for fun" & here when I get a new follower it tends to say something like "professor of rare moths".

Don't think ICE is a worker issue? This asylum-seeking, gig driver with no criminal record was held without reason for 5 weeks. He was forced to abandon his car after being shackled by masked ICE agents.
