"When Richard VanMetter tried to buy a sandwich, he didn’t realize he was dead." Read @merylkornfield.bsky.social & co on a scenario that could happen to many more people as Musk moves aggressively to transfer more names to the government's "Death Master File" www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
washingtonpost.com
When government thinks you’re dead, it upends lives. DOGE may make it worse.
Elon Musk’s team has moved millions of Social Security numbers into the agency’s deaths database, potentially raising the risk of errors.

Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.

From @yepicurus on instagram
Toxic positivity, be damned, Herman Hesse reminds us that true optimism is not the denial of suffering. It is the will to perceive beauty amidst the suffering, and to conceive compassion despite suffering: “because the world is so full of death and horror I try again and again to console my heart and pick the flowers that grow in the midst of hell“
