We're not done yet | 18F

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 todayโ€™s economic blackout is to send a clear message: We have the power.

So increasing the minimum wage to a livable wage is โ€œsocialismโ€?

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.

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

What you can do Revised and expanded

In light of Trump IIโ€™s first 18 days of mayhem โ€” including his and Muskโ€™s coup against our system of government โ€” many are asking: โ€œWhat can I do now?โ€

Hereโ€™s a revised and expanded list, in rough order of importance.

DOGE Staffer Resigns Over Racist Posts A staffer for Elon Muskโ€™s Department of Government Efficiency whose access to U.S. Treasury payment systems was approved by a federal judge on Thursday has links to a deleted social-media account that...

I linked DOGE staffer Marko Elez to a deleted X account that advocated repealing the Civil Rights Act, backed a โ€œeugenic immigration policy,โ€ and wrote, โ€œYou could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity."

He just resigned. www.wsj.com/tech/doge-st...

Home - DHS Bureaucrat Watch List The DHS Bureaucrat Watch List is dedicated to exposing corruption within the DHS, revealing misconduct that undermines our nation's security.

This is some straight up bullshit. Names, photos, credit history, and more information all โ€œtargetingโ€ (the word used on the website) DHS federal workers who donโ€™t align with fascism. www.dhswatchlist.com

A memo listing all of the clubs eliminated by USMA.

A memo listing all of the clubs eliminated by USMA.

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 isnโ€™t DEI. Itโ€™s white Christian Nationalism.

Let me emphasize: Elon Musk has not been confirmed by Congress. His โ€œdepartmentโ€ was never actually enacted. No one other than Trump has given him any authority.

Democrats and any Republicans with a spine need to step in and stop this madness.

Shutting down USAID is not about efficiencyโ€”itโ€™s about undermining Americaโ€™s global leadership. USAID counters extremism, fights diseases, and creates more markets for U.S. exports. This is reckless and dangerous.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. Itโ€™s not intellectually superior. Itโ€™s the virus theyโ€™re trying to infect us with. NO

Donold is blaming a plane crash that killed 67 people on โ€œDEIโ€ 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.

Itโ€™s been 11 days and there are 67 bodies in the Potomac in Washington DC because of him.

Deadly Bigotry Friends,

Trump blaming last night's tragic crash on "DEI" isn't just racist nonsense.

Itโ€™s part of his divide and conquer strategy.

He wants to get us so riled up against one another that we donโ€™t look upward and see where all the power and wealth have gone.
