18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated shortly after midnight. Read our letter to the American people: 18f.org

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

This scrum of pot-bellied, sunken-chested betas trying to bully an all-black clad badass Eastern European wasteland survivor while dressed like Men’s Wearhouse mannequins is peak cinema.

Watching Rep Jeffries on Maddow show was dispiriting. Normal responses are ineffective in addressing times that are not normal. Merrick Garland demonstrated that to catastrophic results. We are in the midst of a power grab that is rendering policies & rule of law irrelevant. What do we DO?

Warren: "My view right now is the courts are where we are hanging on to our constitutional structure. They still have the power to hold everybody else in this country in contempt if they do not follow lawfully issued court orders."

My children have no option but Medicaid—private insurance won’t cover their therapies or services. Cutting Medicaid doesn’t just take away opportunities; for many kids like mine, it threatens their progress, their health, and their actual lives. #ProtectMedicaid #HandsOffOurMedicaid #MOMSky

Crockett: I am tired of the white tears. When you compare me to Marjorie Taylor Greene or me to Lauren Boebert, there is no comparison. So the only people that are crying are the mediocre white boys that have been beaten out by people that historically have had to work so, so much harder

Whenever I feel totally overwhelmed by the injustice & bullshit happening in my country right now, feeling it unprecedented in evil, I picture the Black communities (and other marginalized groups) looking at my privileged white ass with this face, and I gain perspective. And resolve. #learning

In my world, “the talk” is what Black parents have w/our kids, about how to survive an encounter w/police who see them as a threat because of our skin color. Latino families have their talk, w/kids even younger, about ICE who see them as criminals: “If we disappear…” Different fear. Same America.

It is 100 percent their fault. They intentionally shut out AOC in favor of an old white guy with cancer. They turned Harris's "fuck those people are so weird" campaign vibe into standard James Carville pablum. It is their fault. And we are all paying the price.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Warren: "He can stand there, smile at you and say, 'anybody can vaccinate their kids who wants to,' but he literally could bankrupt the vaccines manufacturers with the power he will have. And since he's got a financial incentive to do that, we cannot trust him in that job."

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

I love this so much! At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions. This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.

I don’t believe one person in his cabinet that says they will respect marriage equality as settled law and leave it alone. Three Supreme Court justices said the same thing about abortion and lied.

Pam Bondi FAILED to answer the very basic question "Did Joe Biden win the 2020 election." Her answer that he is the President is their coy way of denying he won. So stupid. Senator Mazie Hirono is SO good at this.

lol anyone calling for "masculine energy "in the workplace doesn't pay attention to the workplace. The @americanprogress.bsky.social reports that the 10 highest paying occupations are DOMINATED by white men. We're talking 50% or more representation. White men are 31% of the U.S. Population. 🤷🏿‍♀️

VERY true. And when our civilization is on the brink of collapse, be it from widespread disease due to the denial of medicinal science or the climate crisis, people will yell at the scientists saying “why didn’t you say it louder?” Or “save us!”
