Sick of this dystopian tech overlord men with no panache and bad haircuts enabling a pants shitting president and bald hitler wannabe trying to undo things that can’t be undone ass reality we are living. They are so tedious and venal. It’s galling.

America by Design Fail Trump fired the best designers in the Federal Government

Bless the actual patriots who built this clapback America by Design Fail website:

"How did you think people would react when you fired the government’s most talented designers and engineers from 18f and the United States Digital Service and then tried to roll out this shit?"

Once again this admin uses design choices as a weapon. One more step in assimilation toward a harsh, less accessible, third-reich-style aesthetic

Remember when NASA wanted to make sure Sally Ride had enough tampons for her one-week space flight and tried to send her with a 100 tampons? I wish for that quaintness now.

No Travis Kelce, It's Not an β€˜Honor’ to Have Trump Watch You Play Football Now is actually not the time to be respectful to the office of the President of the United States.

Op-Ed: Travis Kelce decided to reinforce the status quo by saying it will be an β€œhonor” to have Donald Trump watch him play in the Super Bowl. But now is not the time to show respect to the office of the President of the United States as he does not seem to respect many of the citizens he governs. ‡️
