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:

Indivisible Guide is urging people to visit their senators' local offices between now and Thursday to demand that they use every toolโ€”including denying a quorum and blocking unanimous consentโ€”to fight the confirmation of Project 2025 architect Russell Vought for head of OMB.

Hi! Are you on Medicaid and were you essentially turned away from the ER by being told that it isn't clear that you care would be covered due to Medicaid portal issues? Email me at jmetraux@motherjones.com

Iโ€™ve heard from folks working in HUD housing that theyโ€™ve lost access to the eLOCCS portal. Folks working for HUD directly have said that theyโ€™re not to put anything in writing that might give the impression theyโ€™re defying the EO. This is feeling very dystopian.

Right out of the gate they are detaining U.S. citizens and saying their โ€œpapersโ€are fake. It was always a lie.

i think the executive orders directing agencies to end energy efficiency regulations and open up more land to drilling and mining is so indicative of the character of the american right โ€” in its view everything, whether people or our larger environment, is something to be exploited and dominated

If I โ€œinadvertentlyโ€ rendered a Nazi salute, Iโ€™d be sick to my stomach.

Iโ€™d be devastated about the bedtime conversations I forced Jewish parents to have, trying to reassure frightened kids.

I wouldnโ€™t laugh it off, and if I could laugh it off, it would mean it wasnโ€™t inadvertent at all.

This may be worse than Muskโ€™s fascist salute. I expect it from him. Thisโ€ฆ is inexcusable. Do not let them gaslight you. This is not normal.

Indivisible co-founders Ezra Levin and Leah Greenberg (former congressional staffers) have some advice on the most effective way to contact your elected representatives.
1. CALLING is best. Staffers keep a dally tally on issues that constituents call in on (pro or con). Call to get in the tally.

SCOTUS announces it will hear whether or not LGBTQ inclusive education is unconstitutional.

Not great for LGBTQ people, and could be disastrous to teaching that we have a history and have existed alongside everyone else for centuries.

The take I am most certain of that gets me in the most trouble is just "The reason homes are so expensive is because there are not enough of them, so we really really really need to build more of them."

Race should not determine where you live | Editorial A recent lawsuit shows that segregation remains high in Philadelphia and that significant obstacles remain for Black households to build wealth through real estate.

Thanks to abundant supply and higher rent thresholds, more landlords are opting to serve voucher holders than before.
