We have some news to share with you. 🥄 Today we took legal action to challenge our termination, filing an appeal with the U.S. Merit Systems Protection Board. We did this because we believe the elimination of 18F violated safeguards that exist to protect a nonpartisan civil service.

I can't watch this and say nothing. The arrest of people lawfully here because of things they have said is nothing short of creating a new class of political prisoners. Then sweeping them away to Louisiana to evade the rule of law is atrocious. We cannot stay silent.

Don't keep an Amazon Echo (or any smart speaker) in a room where you'll be having sensitive conversations, either with your family or on a work call. Particularly if you're a journalist or activist. #Technology

18f were a bunch of badasses who actually did make government more efficient in a way that actually worked. And they did it while also being good people who cared deeply for the work, for each other, and for the people that used it.

Haven't y'all ever wondered why so many myths and legends begin with foundlings/abandoned babies? Moses? Romulus and Remus? Oedipus? It was a common story because it was a common practice. Infanticide was the original birth control.

"The Seed of the Sacred Fig" is an Oscar-nominated film about a family in Tehran during the #WomenLifeFreedom movement. But it isn’t being shown in a single theater across Iran because it calls out the country's authoritarian regime. My latest for @theworld.org: theworld.org/segments/202...

The Washington Post editorial this morning essentially equating Biden's questionable pardons with Trump's outrageous Jan. 6 pardons was unconscionable. The newspaper I've been part of for 48 years has utterly lost its soul.
