floofloof@lemmy.cato politics @lemmy.world•MAGA Columnist Makes Jaw-Dropping Demand for ‘Blood in Streets’10·12 小时前They’re too busy investigating trans people, antifascists, people who think genocide is bad, and violent far-left extremists like Chuck Schumer. No time for the fascists who call for political violence whenever they’re not busy shooting people.

This includes social security numbers (SSNs), place and date of birth, work permit status, and parents’ names, among other sensitive personal information, for all Americans, to a cloud environment.”
SSA Chief Information Officers Michael Russo and Aram Moghaddassi, who are described as “DOGE-affiliated,” allegedly “granted approval for the data move despite a June 12, 2025 internal risk assessment flagging a high level of risk and potentially catastrophic impact to SSA beneficiaries and SSA programs absent additional controls to safeguard against unauthorized access,” the report said.
That internal risk assessment by SSA employees “evaluated the likelihood of such catastrophic impact to be between 35 and 65 percent,” with the potential for widespread disclosure of personally identifiable information, the report said.
They put a 19-year-old in charge and judged there was a 35%-65% chance of catastrophically compromising every American citizen’s personal data, then went ahead and did it anyway? These people need to be prosecuted.

Her point is that he’s a dictator and opposed to democracy, like communist dictators have been. She’s not saying he is also a communist.
There is a tendency for conservatives and liberals in the USA to call anyone they don’t like a communist, but I think this isn’t that. It’s just a misreading of her words.

That wording suggests that cruelty to the children is unintentional. I don’t believe it is.
