Dear US friends. I hear you feel ashamed. Know that the world outside of US is well oriented as most of our media is not deceptive. Do not carry the burden of shame. That belong to your President, administration and deceptive Greedy Old Party. Shame do not serve you. It takes your power away. 1/10

Let's talk about the extraordinary cost of what DOGE is doing, which tallies to an amount that cannot be represented by money: 1) ruining US credibility with foreign nations 2) ruining US credibility with contractors 3) killing people by suddenly removing life-saving medication and food supplies

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Let me speak to the DOGE audit language. Many people who work in both the Treasury and specifically the IRS are CPAs. Most audit firms hire CPAs. A 19yo coder has absolutely no idea how to accurately identify waste or fraud. Calling what DOGE is doing as a audit, is a flat out lie.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

This was the motto of the civil society movement to resist Bolsonaro’s right wing authoritarianism in Brazil. I learned it from @annagalland.bsky.social and love it. Would love to see American designers do their own interpretations.

For the people who used to ask 'Why do you have to be so political?' I hope that it's now obvious why. Healthcare is political. Housing is political. Education is political. The air we breathe, the water we drink —it's all shaped by policy and power. Ignoring that is a political choice.
