I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:
18f.org

Now THIS is true leadership on the world stage. In stark contrast to the weak, ignorant clown we currently have in the White House.

If you can, as soon as you can, go to a shelter and save another dogs life. It is the best way to honor your beautiful pup.

Never forget.

This is my “daughter of a Black Panther breakfast program volunteer” coming out but anyone who tells you that you have to be public about all your resistance activity should immediately be under suspicion for being an op, or being under the influence of an op

TEXT: My oath is to the Constitution of our state and of our country. We don’t have kings in America – and I don’t intend to bend the knee to one. I am not speaking up in service to my ambitions — but in deference to my obligations.

There have never been kings in America. The monarchy doesn't start now.

Thank you.

Operation ICE Ride-Along isn’t going as planned. 🔥

Fox News tagged along with ICE, hoping for an exclusive look at “dangerous criminals.” Instead, they got a whole lot of nothing. No threats, no big arrests—just a community that wasn’t having it. The narrative is falling apart.

I love this. This should be the symbol of the new rebel coalition.

They killed off Consumer Financial Protection Bureau because it was too effective at protecting the public from unscrupulous, opportunistic conmen like Donald Trump and Elon Musk.

A US Treasury Threat Intelligence Analysis Designates DOGE Staff as ‘Insider Threat’ An internal email reviewed by WIRED calls DOGE staff's access to federal payments systems “the single biggest insider threat risk the Bureau of the Fiscal Service has ever faced.”

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do.

Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Elon Musk is executing a coup of the US government.

In recent days he’s gained access to a vast range of sensitive information of millions of citizens, businesses, and foreign development projects.

Quick reminder: DOGE isnt real. Its a figment of President Musks imagination and has no power, and isn’t an agency

How many millions of older Americans believed he was a better choice, cut off family to stick with that POS, only to find out he's selling them out planning golf courses in gaza breaking the Geneva Convention handing their country over to a South African money man and a bunch of cyber criminals.

Maybe You Should Shout Fire in a Crowded Theater (If It's On Fire): The Coup Continues Rebecca Solnit Rebecca Solnit 05 Feb 2025 — 8 min read Yesterday the Associated Press ran a story with this sentence in it: "Last week, regional managers for the General Services Administration, or GSA, received a message from the agency’s Washington headquarters to begin terminating leases on all of the roughly 7,500 federal offices nationwide, according to an email shared with The Associated Press by a GSA employee." That sentence came a little after after the opening sentence which declared that Musk and Trump were moving "to cut down on office space." So far as I can tell this means largely eliminating the federal government--for example the federal government has in my region (California, Arizona, Nevada, Hawaii, some Pacific US territories) 170 government-owned buildings and leased space in 827 buildings. Meanwhile the difference between reducing and eliminating all the leased space seems more or less like the difference between a haircut and the guillotine. And the story, which seemed clear to me if not the AP, clarifies that Musk's apparent goal isn't to reduce the size of the federal government; it's to eliminate it. Especially if you relate it to all the other stories out there about what Musk is doing, though there's often a notion in mainstream journalism that connecting things to other things is editorializing, that the audience should be delivered facts stripped of context in the name of objectivity.

This is an abomination. These migrants aren’t terrorists. They may be undocumented criminals but have they had a trial? Even as criminals they deserve better than a prison beyond the reach of law.
