A senior executive at the Social Security Administration was physically dragged from his office this week after clashing with DOGE, according to The Washington Post.

Greg Pearre, a career civil servant who led an IT team working on the agency’s data systems, was removed over his opposition to a DOGE plan to cut off immigrants from key financial services, three people told the Post.

The scheme cooked up by Elon Musk’s DOGE squad falsely lists thousands of migrants as dead in a Social Security database known as the “death master file.”

Being entered into the death database cuts a person off from crucial financial services, like the ability to receive government benefits and access a bank account or credit card.

    American citizens are right at this moment, hurriedly preparing to do absolutely nothing in response.

      “What is there to do? I’ll start as soon as millions of others start first” a voice cries out from the back.

      Oh they have responses. Just shitty ones. Some will tell you that they are arming themselves, while others will tell you that it’s the fault of those that didn’t vote enough.

      Best of luck to them at the next election. Meanwhile they can just buy more guns. They will be totally useful when the militarized fascist authorities will kidnap and deport them to El Salvador.
