Unbreaking How the administration is breaking the government, and what that means for all of us.

We've published six pages at Unbreaking.org now, about what's happening in six quite different areas of American life as a result of Trump admin and congressional actions: Equality in the Workplace, Food Safety, Medicaid, Medical Research Funding, the Postal Service, and Trans Healthcare.

new pages released on @unbreaking.org - read up!

👋 Hi, we’re Unbreaking, a volunteer-run collective working to document our current moment of institutional collapse and its human costs—as well as the pushback and resilience work already underway. We believe this is critical work for building and retaining political agency.

Replacing legacy systems Barriers to replacing legacy systems, and how 18F successfully approached modernization work.

DOGE claims it will take only a few months to replace legacy systems at the Social Security Administration. Having worked on similar modernization efforts before, we can tell you that isn’t true—here’s why.

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

My next question is how is this legal and how is it that no one is enforcing the law. Are there even any ATTEMPTS? Why is everyone just rolling over? Is it that easy? Just have money and the nerve/arrogance/selfishness to test the law?? Is this truly a society of helpless cowering lambs???

No one person is all powerful.

Lots and lots of people are complicit.

Still up

At this point, there are only two options:

B) Elon really is this stupid

Experts warn about the 'crumbling infrastructure' of federal government data Unstable federal funding puts at risk the government statistics used to track the U.S. economy and population, officials and data users warn. That's before any cuts by President Trump and Congress.

In my latest @npr.org story, officials and data users warn that the reliability of the U.S. government statistics used to track the country’s economy and population is under threat because of budget concerns. That's before any new funding cuts by President Trump and Congress.

It was a Nazi salute. He thought he was being funny and edgy. He's drunk on power. He's that white guy who has to drop the "n" word to prove he can do anything and "free-speech and shit" and "Why are you so offended, it's just a word".

He is not as smart as he thinks he is. He lacks purpose.

Ugh!

this is why i am hesitant to build a little free library..
