  1. Politicians found $300B for wars, $300B to rebuild Iran, $300M for Trump’s ballroom & $14M for a green pool… yet seniors worry about their Social Security. That money could strengthen benefits for those who earned it. Priorities matter!

  2. Every paycheck, we paid in. Every retiree deserves to collect without fear. Politicians: keep your hands off the Social Security trust fund! Share if you agree seniors deserve security.

  3. Protect the promise we made to our seniors! Social Security is not a luxury—it’s a right earned through decades of hard work. No cuts, no privatization schemes. Stand strong for our families.

  5. Money for ballrooms and lavish parties, but seniors fighting to keep the lights on.

    Priorities are clear—and wrong.

    Hands off the money we paid into.

  6. Paul Krugman is right: there is nothing “inevitable” about Social Security cuts. The crisis is political, not mathematical. Corrupt Republicans took new revenue off the table so they can force benefit cuts onto workers. Don’t swallow the gaslighting. #HandsOffSocialSecurity

  7. They want to raid the trust fund for their pet projects while seniors count pennies for groceries. Our Social Security is not their slush fund.

  8. 'A Huge Scandal': Internal Doc Exposes Trump-Musk Hunt for Social Security Fraud as a Sham

    A newly reported document shows that "anti-fraud checks" implemented at the Social Security agency found virtually no improper benefit claims—while slowing payments substantially.

    An internal #Trump administration document reportedly shows that anti-fraud checks recently installed at the #SocialSecurity agency have found just two cases of potentially improper benefit claims out of more than 110,000—a rate of 0.0018%.

    The documents, first reported Thursday by #Nextgov/FCW, further undercut President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk's narrative that Social Security is brimming with fraud. #Musk falsely claimed in March that "40% of the calls into Social Security were fraudulent."

  9. Frank Bisignano’s record at the private sector companies he has run is right in line with DOGE. He cut staffing to the bone and reportedly created toxic work environments. If he is confirmed, the now-toxic work environment at SSA will likely get worse.

    Social Security needs a commissioner whose loyalty is to beneficiaries, not Elon Musk.

    Call on the Senate to vote no on the nomination of Frank Bisignano for commissioner of the Social Security Administration!

  11. HANDS OFF! National Day of Action, Saturday, April 5th

    Donald Trump and Elon Musk think this country belongs to them. They're taking everything they can get their hands on, and daring the world to stop them. On Saturday, April 5th, we're taking to the streets nationwide to fight back with a clear message: Hands off!

    A core principle behind Hands Off! is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.

    #Napa Hands Off event will be at the Courthouse on Brown Street, noon to 1:30 pm on April 5th.

  12. @ZhiZhu

    WHERE are the injunctions against unlawful actions that could stop congressionally-mandated disbursement of funds to OVER SEVENTY MILLION PEOPLE?

    WHO in House and/or Senate is advocating for protections for recipients, millions of whom are the most dedicated voters?

    WHAT ABOUT 47’s “promise” that SS would remain untouched? (Pardon me while I laugh at this particular lie.)

    Not one of these criminal DOGE/CABINET ASSHOLES has experienced what it’s like to depend on a monthly deposit that for many is below the poverty level, and who have no other supplementary income (approximately 40% of SS beneficiaries depend on SS alone).

    Seniors, dependents & disabled folks on SS cannot “wait & see what happens” AFTER a DOGE nerd pulls the plug. This must be the time for SOMEONE with guts to be proactive and protect this program.

    CALL CONGRESS TODAY! 202-224-3121

  14. There's a myth that Social Security is going "bankrupt." The fact is that , even if we don't make any changes , Social Security will still pay benefits. It's just that in 2035, the benefits will be cut to 78% of what they're owed. #HandsOffSocialSecurity #FairShare 📢 app.sosha.ai/s/aXCicWjN
