Aaron's activity on October 9 centered on government corruption and accountability, immigration enforcement, and urban safety policy.

The most prominent theme was corruption and self-dealing at the federal level. Aaron reposted a ProPublica investigation revealing that Pentagon powerbroker George Kollitides — closely tied to deputy defense secretary Steve Feinberg — left his firm after journalists began scrutinizing defense contracts he was involved in. (ProPublica) He also amplified alarm over Trump purchasing up to $5 million in SpaceX bonds just days before his administration moved to reduce regulatory barriers for commercial spaceflight — a company run by Elon Musk — with one commentator framing it as an unprecedented level of corruption in American history. (CNN)

Immigration enforcement also drew Aaron's attention on two fronts. He reposted reporting that a man shot by ICE during an operation in New York City had effectively disappeared after being hospitalized, with his own lawyers unable to locate him. (Courthouse News) He also shared coverage of the Trump administration deporting dozens of LGBTQ immigrants — some of whom had been granted asylum protections specifically because of persecution they faced in their countries of origin — to third countries where they face similar dangers.

On a local policy note, Aaron reposted commentary criticizing Boston's reactive approach to street safety: the city announced infrastructure improvements at a dangerous intersection only after a serious incident, prompting the question of what the plan is to fix hazardous streets before people are harmed.
