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

Mass firings, shutting down critical services, blowing up our alliances, crashing the markets, encouraging inflation... These aren't the actions of a political party aspiring to get reelected. These are the actions of an authoritarian regime that does not intend to honor elections ever again.

Teaching is such a thankless job, our educators are just trying to prepare children for the world that awaits them when they are done with their education. Many teachers are still paying off their student loans, like my friend Mary. It’s time we pay them a livable wage for their tireless work.

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

He will burn down whatever he can, however he can Our systems of governance, rule of law, global alliances, even the Constitution. Consumed by vengeance and greed, he is the greatest threat to our Republic since its founding. We must meet this moment with the force of a thousand suns. Or perish.

We need a group of lawyers who are willing to take every lawsuit from every fired federal employee to the max. Bury this admin in lawsuits

If making America great again requires you to pay more for everything, lose your retirement savings, work more for less pay, be unable to afford health insurance, become an indentured servant to the oligarchs, maybe you were better off with the no so great version.

Oligarchs now own: - the incoming President - the majority of the Supreme Court - half of Congress - most of legacy and social media They do not own: - most of the American people - our values - our hope for better days...for all This is our ground zero for the rebellion.

People who've never been dependent on a paycheck should not get to decide how long you can go without yours.

If we all find 100 posts to like every day, engagement and good will on @bsky.app grows exponentially. Is it worth a few minutes to make the platform stronger ?

I always laugh when a certain type of man asks me “why do feminists hate men so much?” My response is this … It’s never been about us hating men. 🧵

These losers do this because their only shot at companionship is a hostage situation, so they spend all day harassing people into thinking a woman’s self worth should resemble their own. If they tried being kind and not approaching every relationship as a transaction, they would be much happier
