18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want โ yet we were eliminated shortly after midnight. Read our letter to the American people:

No Amazon. No Walmart. No Target. No Disney. No Google. No Apple. No Visa or Mastercard. And especially no Facebook or Twitter. Buy essentials such as medicine, food, and emergency supplies, of course, but make those purchases at small, local businesses and use cash. The purpose of todayโs economic blackout is to send a clear message: We have the power.

But Amazon union busting, keeping wages low, and forcing workers onto public assistance while its founder increases his net worth by $7.9M an hour is the "free market"?
Perhaps this could be a WaPo opinion piece.
I am part of the 25%. The lifestyle change is worth it.

In light of Trump IIโs first 18 days of mayhem โ including his and Muskโs coup against our system of government โ many are asking: โWhat can I do now?โ
Hereโs a revised and expanded list, in rough order of importance.
I linked DOGE staffer Marko Elez to a deleted X account that advocated repealing the Civil Rights Act, backed a โeugenic immigration policy,โ and wrote, โYou could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity."
He just resigned. www.wsj.com/tech/doge-st...
This is some straight up bullshit. Names, photos, credit history, and more information all โtargetingโ (the word used on the website) DHS federal workers who donโt align with fascism. www.dhswatchlist.com

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isnโt DEI. Itโs white Christian Nationalism.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. Itโs not intellectually superior. Itโs the virus theyโre trying to infect us with. NO
Donold is blaming a plane crash that killed 67 people on โDEIโ with zero evidence.
He is attempting to use racism to deflect from the fact it is HIS fault. He had just removed 100 FAA senior officials.
Itโs been 11 days and there are 67 bodies in the Potomac in Washington DC because of him.
Trump blaming last night's tragic crash on "DEI" isn't just racist nonsense.
Itโs part of his divide and conquer strategy.
He wants to get us so riled up against one another that we donโt look upward and see where all the power and wealth have gone.
