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

I believe Musk and DOGE disbanded 18F because we stood in the way of their "procurement capture" operation. We get the government *out* of wasteful contracts. Musk wants that money back for himself. Explanation by @anildash.com of procurement capture: www.anildash.com/2025/01/04/D...

#Grifters. Always were, always will be. Just imagine the outrage from 🦊 News and #MAGAtrolls if The Bidens or Doug and Kamala were making deals (selling garbage) like this family.

LGB is not 👏🏻 a 👏🏻 thing👏🏻. Total fiction created by this administration. We are LGBTQ+. We are in this as one. Stonewall would not be without the T. 🏳️‍⚧️

Tesla's stock is ridiculously overvalued, and even a modest consumer boycott could tank the company, which accounts for the majority of Elon Musk's wealth. The divestment movement weakened apartheid South Africa. Let's do that again. slate.com/business/202...

This is how #Trump operates…There HAS been a plan since August (Biden admin) to send a SpaceX rocket up to retrieve the astronauts. Now the orange clown is going to take credit and #MAGA / #FOXfakeNEWS will eat it up. www.npr.org/2024/08/24/n...

Whoa, I was not interested, but then I noticed that these cards are “rare”! AND it even looks like Shepard Fairey is contributing his artwork (see top left card). Think I might skip my meds this month and get these instead. What do you think???

So my question is…are all of these sycophants just randomly showing up at Mar a Lago or are they actually being summoned by the king? #TrumpAssKissers #PayForPlay #YesDearLeader #FoxNewsTempAgency

Musk owns, directs or invests in many industries, touching dozens of departments and agencies of the federal government. His companies are the subject of federal investigations and regulatory actions, including accusations of hiring discrimination, environmental damage and safety deficiencies.

Some facts to keep in mind as the felon/GOP try to take credit for Biden-Harris & Democrats’ accomplishments! Look out for the felon/GOP TANKING the economy, exacerbating income & wealth inequality in the USA, but “forgetting” they inherited a robust, thriving economy from Biden-Harris & Democrats!

You go through that door, turn left, hand your money to Don Jr and then pick up your copy. Morning briefing, top secret document, the nuclear codes, whatever you want. It’s easy. You want an overseas assignment instead? Turn right and JD will get the ball rolling for you. Okay, enjoy the party.
