Trump’s interim Social Security chief says he wants to turn off the program if Musk and DOGE can’t access Americans’ most sensitive data
by Andrew Perez, March 21, 2025
"Donald Trump’s interim Social Security chief suggested Thursday night he will effectively turn off the agency that manages the essential safety net program for seniors and the disabled, if Elon Musk and his so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) can’t access the non-anonymized sensitive personal information and data of hundreds of millions of Americans, based on a judge’s order.
"'My anti-fraud team would be DOGE affiliates. My IT staff would be DOGE affiliates,' said #LeeDudek, acting Social Security Administration (#SSA) commissioner, arguing the order was too broad, according to Bloomberg News. 'As it stands, I will follow it exactly and terminate access by all SSA employees to our IT systems,' he said, adding: 'Really, I want to turn it off and let the courts figure out how they want to run a federal agency.'
"Dudek’s threat to block SSA employees from using the agency’s IT systems — a move that could halt #SocialSecurityPayments — came in response to a judge’s temporary restraining order in a case brought by the #AFLCIO #LaborUnion. The order bars Social Security Administration officials from allowing DOGE, including Musk, and the SSA’s DOGE team to access personally identifiable information. It also directs Musk and DOGE to delete from their possession all non-anonymized personal data, and bars them from having access to SSA computers or code.
"Judge Ellen Lipton Hollander wrote that the SSA had likely violated administrative and privacy laws when it gave DOGE 'unbridled access to the personal and private data of millions of Americans, including but not limited to Social Security numbers, medical records, mental health records, hospitalization records, drivers’ license numbers, bank and credit card information, tax information, income history, work history, birth and marriage certificates, and home and work addresses.'
"She added that the 'defendants, with so-called experts on the DOGE Team, never identified or articulated even a single reason for which the DOGE Team needs unlimited access to SSA’s entire record systems, thereby exposing personal, confidential, sensitive, and private information that millions of Americans entrusted to their government.'"

"Preston, vote for your board of directors"
REI, a fucking *co-op*, is engaged in union busting. The union wants us to vote down (vote to "withhold") all three of the candidates put up for the board. See screenshots for what the email and process looks like to do so.

Visiting the Monterey Bay aquarium was the highlight of my vacation to California several years ago. I support the unionization efforts of its employees to ensure that many more visitors have the chance to say the same.

15 Minutes, Global Strike for Palestinian Workers

Workers at the Fried Egg restaurant in #Portland, Oregon have walked out on strike demanding a raise and a re-hiring of a fired co-worker. Workers there formed a union under the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) several months ago.

"Members of the IWW marched and rallied both inside and outside of the Peet’s Coffee location in Berkeley, holding IWW picket signs and posters featuring the union’s mascot, a black cat, symbolizing the wildcat strike. Members of the union and Peet’s workers gave speeches which have now been posted to social media.
“I joined this union because managers don’t look out for workers, workers look out for workers…People at my shop don’t have enough hours to get by…[to] make enough money for rent. People work two, three jobs…we are not being looked out for by management…,” stated one Peet’s worker and IWW member, during the rally inside the store."
#Iran: The syndicate of the #BusDrivers unit company condemned the accusation of "blasphemy" against #Sharifeh Mohammadi, a labor activist from Rasht and announced: "There is no doubt that this accusation is false and shameful, an independent civil and labor activist has been faced with a heavy accusation that they themselves know. It does not have a grain of truth."

Maxine Joselow & Scott Dance: Why #scientists fear a second #tRump term, and what they are doing about it: Several federal agencies are working to safeguard research, including climate science, from future political meddling.
"When the union representing nearly half of Environmental Protection Agency employees approved a new contract with the federal government this month, it included an unusual provision that had nothing to do with pay, benefits or workplace flexibility: protections from political meddling into their work.
The protections, which ensure workers can report any meddling without fear of “retribution, reprisal, or retaliation,” are “a way for us to get in front of a second Trump administration and protect our workers,” said Marie Owens Powell, an EPA gas station storage tank inspector and president of American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) Council 238."
