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

It was just a short time ago when being a conservative and constitutionalist were directly aligned. Then came MAGA destroying everything that protected our beautiful democracy.

Putin is a bully and stone cold killer. Today we watched Trump and Vance sell America’s soul and tread on every one of the brave veterans who fought and lost lives to protect Democracy. Heartbroken for who we have become and for our European Allies.

Answer to Vance: Zelenskyy has thanked our country over and over again both privately and publicly. And our country thanks HIM and the Ukrainian patriots who have stood up to a dictator, buried their own & stopped Putin from marching right into the rest of Europe. Shame on you.

Watching Putin’s little stooges try to bully Zelenskyy in our goddamned White House is pretty repulsive.

It's infuriating to see Trump and Vance badgering Zelensky before the cameras. Two corrupt fascists abusing a democratic leader. I am ashamed of my country.

In negotiating a G7 statement on the Ukraine war, Trump administration objects to calling Russia the "aggressor," trying to reverse the group's position over the past three years. @stevenerlanger.bsky.social @matinastevis.bsky.social David Sanger www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/w...

So disturbing to think our own American version of a Navalney tragedy could unfold in the US. We must protect our American hero families!!!

At a time of massive income & wealth inequality, Republicans in Congress just introduced a budget to provide trillions in tax breaks to the wealthy, paid for by massive cuts to Medicaid that will throw millions of kids off health care & seniors out of nursing homes. Unacceptable.

Irony is dead in this moment along with common sense. Trump who squawked “but her emails” incessantly, let Musk (unelected/not a govt employee) send his crew of kids in to review classified information & plug devices of unknown origin into the government computer system, compromising everything.

Trump’s move to blame the crash on diversity reflects his instinct to immediately frame major events through his political lens whether facts fit or not. After the terrorist attack in New Orleans, he blamed immigration even though the attacker was a US citizen born in Texas.

If you watch only one short video today, make it this one. Remarkable bravery, and the looks on the various faces could be material for a dissertation on gender, the family, and authoritarianism. youtu.be/gVInX42IQD8?...

Two bald eagles treated at the World Bird Sanctuary are among the latest victims of lead poisoning in Missouri. Despite efforts to save their lives, both raptors were eventually euthanized after their organs began to shut down.
