Chaos extends to the Social Security Administration (SSA)

Trump administration forced Chief Data Officer Charles Borges to resign today.

Borges had acted as a #Whistleblower for the agency when he identified serious data breaches that leave more than 300 million Americans at risk of identity theft and loss of benefits.

In his resignation letter, #Borges noted that he was leaving involuntarily after the administration had made it impossible to perform his duties legally and ethically and had caused him “serious attendant mental, physical, and emotional distress.”

3/3…eventually the use of the term #Whistleblower itself will be problematic in usage. Truly long term witnesses comfortable in various programs are simply not going to see themselves as whistleblowers. There are teams and families and long term relationships involved. They’d rather wait for the veil to drop than partake in all that drama. Their own ontological shocks are long in the rearview mirror
