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

please sanction us! the people yearn for more sanctions

Here's the thread!

I was working on an accompanying infographic. I'll try to have it up by Monday at the latest. 💜

Dear the rest of the world: You should absolutely not see the US as reliable for anything at this point, shit, none of us on the inside think we're reliable for anything right now either, you're definitely not alone

Do you remember that time Pence tried to see Hamilton and the cast called him out.

Or when McConnell was chased out of a resraurant and not allowed a peaceful meal.

Or when Cruz abandoned Texas during the deep freeze and we shamed him into going home.

That.

Do that.

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

Totally unrelated to layoffs of highly qualified US federal employees, did you guys know that Korea has a whole website devoted to posting jobs for overseas research and professorial talent? No Korean-language knowledge necessary! global.hibrain.net?_hv=m

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS IN CASE OF ICE: CONOCE TUS DERECHOS EN CASO DE ENCUENTRO CON ICE:

DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR. ICE cannot enter your home without a warrant signed by a judge. Tell the agents to show you the warrant by sliding it under the door. NO ABRAS TU PUERTA. ICE no puede entrar a tu casa sin una orden firmada por un juez. Diles a los agentes que te muestren la orden deslizándola debajo de la puerta.

ASK THEM TO LEAVE. If ICE doesn't have a warrant, tell them you do not consent for them to enter your home and ask them to leave. At work, ICE cannot enter employee-only areas without permission. 2 PÍDALES QUE SE VAYAN. Si ICE no tiene una orden judicial, diles que no das tu consentimiento para que entren a tu casa y pídeles que se vayan. En el trabajo, ICE no puede ingresar a áreas exclusivas para empleados sin permiso.

REMAIN SILENT. You have the right to remain silent. If the agents ask you questions, tell them, "I wish to remain silent." PERMANECE EN SILENCIO. Tienes derecho a permanecer en silencio. Si los agentes te hacen preguntas, diles: "Deseo permanecer en silencio".

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

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 isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

So many doors will open when you realize it’s okay to start over

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.

Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.

Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

do u ever talk to someone and think "yes this is why i don't tell you anything."

Yes! This!
When i was a teenager I used to read 1 or 2 books a day because I didn't have a job or bills to worry about. But as an adult I have a different schedule.

Reading, is still my passion but I am now down to 1 book a week.

I don’t like how folk are trying to read shame. If you read 100 books, awesome. If you read 10 books, awesome. Just read.

Honest. Decent. Principled. A Lifetime of Selfless Service.

#ThankYouJimmyCarter 🙏

It may not solve all of the world’s problems, but I think we can all agree that having more bakeries, libraries, museums, and bookstores would be an important first step.

Yes!

Thoughts?

Stay single until someone sends you an entire essay of why they want to be with you.

Nah. He should go to Colombia or China. We don't have an extradition pact with them

In case you didn't know, librarians are educated professionals with a master's degree and don't just willy nilly buy any old books for their libraries.

One of the reasons that military backed coups do not succeed in stable Democracies is that the soldiers do not want to shoot their own people. In post colonial states, many of the military leaders got their positions by doing exactly that for colonial powers.
