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

NOAA is an absolute mess, and it’ll be worse tomorrow. Please help us. There have already been over 1,000 terminations. It’s not just layoffs—Elon Musk and his staffers are trying to completely dismantle us. Today, there were tons of firings, and more are coming tomorrow.

To be clear. The President of the United States believes there’s a giant spigot holding water back in Northern California. And all they need to do is open up the spigot and Southern California will have all the water that they need. And nobody is correcting him.

Times are difficult, people are rightfully worried for the state of our democracy, the world sits on edge hoping the mad man won't start any wars. we have 657 days till the mid terms. All we can do is try and be a comfort in troubled times To that end we try and keep the politics to a minimum.
