Fun fact: You've been paying into social security your whole life, so when Elon turns his cash vacuum cleaner on that system, he's stealing directly from you in the most unambiguous way imaginable.

This is 100% bullshit. There are no algorithms. Musk and his incel clown posse are not forensic accountants and do not know how to audit. Discovering fraud is a labor-intensive project that can never be done by looking at payments alone. This is just a thinly-veiled rationale to gut Social Security.

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

Trump's immigration crackdown is not about law & order. He has a vendetta against immigrants who followed the law, too His EOs threaten to punish legal immigrants by doubling their taxes (invoking a never-used 1934 law); expatriating their kids; and blocking them from the US entirely wapo.st/4hkbEB6

There were a few tells today: 1. Russian state media in the oval and White House press being told it was an accident. People don’t accidentally get in the oval. 2. The group dynamic. Trump needed backup. 3. The full-court press in the media afterward to define Zelensky as disrespectful.

On @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social just now, former US ambassador to Denmark Carla Sands said Americans "don't want to pay for another of Zelensky's yachts". The claim that Zelensky is using US aid to buy yachts is an old piece of disinformation directly originating from Russia. It's not true.

None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

I will never forget the photo of Zelenskyy’s face after he saw Russia’s war crimes in Bucha in 2022. He seemed to age years in an afternoon. Watching him constantly cross the world asking for aid that should have been thrown at him is one of the deepest shames of our age.
