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

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out. This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

The Air Force will no longer teach its recruits about the Tuskegee Airmen, Black pioneer pilots honored for their service during World War II. Also halted, teaching the history of Women Airforce Service Pilots, or WASPs, the female World War II pilots who were essential in ferrying warplanes…

🚨 Today Target said it will end its three-year DEI goals, stop reports to external diversity-focused groups like the Human Rights Campaign's Corporate Equality Index and end a program focused on carrying more products from Black- or minority-owned businesses. You guys know what to do?!

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it. “When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.” AOC 🔥🎯

Nothing to see here, literally. After yesterday's inauguration, ReproductiveRights.gov disappears, sparking concerns over women's healthcare. A Texas judge has ruled that three states, Idaho, Kansas, and Missouri, can move forward to prevent mail-order pills. Need Help? aidaccess.org/en/

Martin Luther King Jr. said that “the ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge.” We are in a time of challenge. The question for every leader, every citizen is where do you stand?

Under the GOP's SAVE Act, Tribal IDs would NO LONGER be accepted as valid identification to register to vote. This is a direct attack on the voting rights of Native American communities. #StopTheSAVEAct social.demcast.com/s/EC9Y1x2d

Unless they saved America from Trump's January 6th insurrection mob. Then, he can't even put up a plaque.

Perfect response! From @anntelnaes.bsky.social: "My wonderful colleague Steve Brodner suggested that other cartoonists create their own version of the killed cartoon, which I’ve included a few below." - Barry Blitt, Steve Brodner, Dave Whamomd, Emma Cook

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public. He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit. Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

Holy cow! One of the best (if not the best) cartoonists in the biz, @anntelnaes.bsky.social, has resigned from WaPo over their refusal to publish this cartoon - the FIRST time in her career there (since 2008). Jeff Bezos is lost. So dangerous to free press! anntelnaes.substack.com/p/why-im-qui...

"Two things can be true:one, that murder is bad—that even bad people who do bad things don't deserve to be executed. It's okay to think that. It can also be true that United Healthcare is an evil corporation that has caused pain + suffering to millions of people over the years. youtu.be/VGgQD5G8jD0
