Not a surprising link for those who have read the news for the last decade, will leave it to you to check. Seth A. & others outlined why the original publisher needed to pull this post, now archived (and widely redistributed around the web) to follow the story flows web.archive.org/web/20250221...

A new website created by about a dozen federal employees, called “We the Builders,” aims to be a secure outlet for government workers to share stories about how their workplaces are being impacted by DOGE, and a place to explain the real-world impact of its access to government tech systems.

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

Made it out to Bay Area Games & XR symposium at Northeastern today for a talk on gaussian splatting & 3D futures by @azadux.com Lots of use cases for cultural preservation in addition to my students R&D into scanning for resilience: rapid site dev & concept design in rebuilding & BIM after disasters

On this day John Lewis was born. If you don't know why he's a civil rights icon, please read about him. In his honor, always get in good trouble. It's time. Just because the administration declares something illegal doesn't mean it's wrong. www.si.edu/spotlight/jo...

State social media used to delegitimize journalists is the hallmark of an authoritarian regime, not good governance. A PressSec & White House should seek to inform, engage, & be accountable to the public & press, never to abuse official accounts to direct hatred towards any American or amplify lies.

Ok, I'm doing a version of this thread for 🧪 who are new to political conditions where info security is a safety issue: 1. Don't make public lists of people who are engaging in acts of resistance 2. Be weary of calls to advertise acts of subversion 3. Don't live post resistance meetings

Cutting FCC, USPS & dissent in all media forms 1 big disinfo-veil to remove US from global dialogues. Goal = we cannot hear other people's opinions other than state media PR. People in military losing access to mail & services = mislead soldiers into fighting unjust wars against their own people.

Doesn't know what AI is, doesn't know what duplicitous means, doesn't know what the CDC does.

If someone had told younger me in 2005 that I'd be following Bill & Ted like V for Vendetta into the Die Hard hellscape that is this present moment I would have laughed and put more Waking Life on to flick the lucid lights on and off Now there's just no sleep in this waking life.

I relax in Cities Skylines for public design play & context. As US tries on dystopian chic, I make protopian cities Policies section of CS has no auto Tyrant Fleece Mode update that broke algo, no parks stripped for ore & oil 🌲 & ☠️ stank showin up on every house like my real city plagued by cyber🦹‍♂️

The fact that no one has any idea who is in charge or whose orders supersede whose is the craziest part of all of this. The whole thing will burn down with people standing around wondering who should grab the fire extinguisher.

Real talk - some of them revel in the demise of "bloat" in the system - as they see it, they are finally draining the swamp of those pesky humans they didn't want to deal with anymore. I blocked a few former colleagues recently who publicly delight in the demise of others. Silicon Valley 🤢

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

Will eventually stop sharing posts like this but for now....

they won't change, and at this point, it doesn't matter, economic and social devastation is baked in. now you guys have to understand what comes next and think carefully about how to minimize the damage to your life.

New from 404 Media: a Musk ally has demanded administrative access to Notify.gov, a system that lets the government text the public. The access would give them large swathes of the publics' personal data too. A worker has resigned in protest rather than give access www.404media.co/musk-ally-de...
