A list of Social Security offices expected to close in 2025

Twenty-six Social Security Administration offices across the country are expected to close this year, due to actions taken by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency. DOGE has published a list of nearly 800 federal real estate leases that it is seeking to cancel. The Associated Press has obtained an internal planning document from the General Services Administration, which manages federal real estate, showing when nearly two-thirds of those cancellations are expected to go into effect. Of the 47 Social Security offices listed for closure, only some had anticipated dates that those lease cancellations would take effect, with 26 set for later this year.

What to do about #SocialSecurity office shut downs?
Set up a rally at your local SSA office.
Go to

@alaw202 Security Works on @nicolesandler

"sign up to host a rally yourself. We'll help you do it. But on a personal level, we also do think that you should get a hard copy, so go to my ssa.gov & print out a hard copy of your statement so that you have that because I don't trust these #Doge goons to not be messing around online.

Hands off Social Security!

Social Security is facing the greatest threat of its nearly century-long existence. We have to fight back! Social Security Works is working to have as many rallies at Social Security offices as possible. If you can host one, email us at [email protected] and we can help with turn out, press coordination and inviting elected officials. We will be doing as many events as possible and building toward a large scale national day of action on April 5th with rallies happening across the country. Find or sign up to host a rally outside a Social Security office near you using this form. When we stand together, we cannot be defeated.

@GottaLaff So, 16 states that voted for Trump, two that voted for Harris. And probably the NY field office being closed will be in a red area. I'm normally not for "bipartisanship" but it seems it should be possible to persuade Congress to reverse this crap, since it hurts GOP voters so much worse.

@GottaLaff I’ve seen local MAGA voters on Nextdoor saying it’s not so bad if it cuts fraud. And that people who don’t have cars can just take the Medicaid funded taxis to the SSA offices.

@GottaLaff @VirginiaHolloway I bet even most USians believe the picture Hollywood propaganda machine displays. Everyone has money, education, great jobs and drug users live out of sight in dark drug lairs, there isn't homeless people or if there was it's their own fault they live and die in a cardboard box. It's just their town that has these problems but other USA is great.

@GottaLaff @VirginiaHolloway Then kids run away for better life in big cities and end up heroin addicts and prostitutes. And no one cares. Politicians actually use them for fun.
US has had these same problems for decades and it's what it is. Same time almost nowhere else in the world has these problems.

@GottaLaff @VirginiaHolloway US has most prisoners in the world, because prisoners make money for the prison companies and they can be used as slave labor on top of that. Jailing immigrants and foreigners make a lot of money for the prison companies. With all the prisons and punishing US has the most murderers etc. Then the USians think Canada would be better as a US state. Don't you people in USA know that your federation sucks?

@GottaLaff @VirginiaHolloway Most Russians also think their country is the best and Russian culture is superior. The most nationalist idiots are in the poor towns or villages. They don't have sewers but they have electricity and TV's where they can watch propaganda shows. These people think they have better living standards than Europeans.

@GottaLaff @VirginiaHolloway That's how they get so many soldiers. They really believe Ukrainians are nazis and in their poor home towns there's no jobs no money so why not go die on Ukraine. Wife or parents get money or a new Lada. There's no future so might as well get killed.

@GottaLaff @VirginiaHolloway It's exactly the same as how USA gets soldiers. Povetrty and only chance. US soldiers are just as brutal and discusting as Russians. Stupid grunts with assault rifles. Russia is evil but USA is worse:

‘They stole my humanity’: Abu Ghraib survivors are still fighting for justice

More than 20 years since the revelations of US torture at Abu Ghraib, three victims were awarded victory in a federal lawsuit against the military contractor complicit in their torture. Yet for most, justice remains elusive.
