Elon Musk’s DOGE is gutting the US Digital Service and its citizen-focused approach to tech development is going with it. This week Kate Green and Milo from @altusds.bsky.social join @parismarx.com to discuss how government can build technology differently. Full ep: techwontsave.us/episode/269_...

I was so happy to have Kate and Milo from @altusds.bsky.social on the show! The way they spoke about tech development shows how differently it can be done if the will is there. It’s so different from techies who build tools for themselves then say everyone else should just learn to code.

Trump is urging GOP lawmakers to defund PBS "immediately". He's not the first right-wing crook to wage war on public broadcasting. Here's what national treasure Fred Rogers told Congress in 1969 when Richard Nixon tried to gut PBS.

This was always where it was going to go: when the President claims it can detain and remove anyone without judicial review or due process, they will try to deport and remove people without judicial review and due process. Straight up authoritarian dictator stuff.

Make no mistake: The Trump Administration’s attempt to end the Department of Education is part of the Christian Nationalist agenda set out in Project 2025 to destroy public education that benefits all communities in favor of private, religious education. www.au.org/the-latest/p...

I know he was talking about me because the only other car on the road was a cute little Mini Cooper, and they don’t look like any kind of shit, never mind a Transformer’s shit."

'Alarm’ was originally a call to arms. The Italian phrase ‘all’arme!’ means literally “to arms” or “to your weapons.” We'd still probably hit 'snooze.'

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.
