Summary

Friends, we are at an inflection point. The Trump administration’s Project 2025 agenda is deliberately dismantling one of America’s most trusted institutions — the Social Security Administration. Through staffing cuts, office closures, and privatization schemes, they’re weakening the lifeline that millions of seniors, disabled Americans, and working families depend on. This isn’t mismanagement — it’s a calculated attack. The goal: break the system so Wall Street can profit from privatization. But Social Security has never failed us — not during 9/11, Katrina, or COVID. It lifts millions out of poverty and stands as a promise of dignity for every worker who paid in with every paycheck. We must fight back. Together, we can stop office closures, restore staffing, modernize systems, and demand Congress protect and expand Social Security — by lifting the payroll tax cap for the wealthy and ensuring benefits grow with need. An attack on Social Security is an attack on the promise of liberty and justice for all. It’s time to rise — to defend what we’ve earned, to protect our democracy, and to demand power to the people. ✊ #SaveSocialSecurity #PowerToThePeople #FreedomOverFascism #PeoplePowerUnited This is a public episode.
