Spring is coming!

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

💬 «Laisser l’Ukraine sans garantie de sécurité, c’est permettre à la Russie, de dévorer la Moldavie et de venir aux frontières de la Roumanie. Elle est une menace existentielle pour l’Europe» Macron veut convaincre les 27 pays de l'UE d'une riposte unanime après le clash Trump-Zelensky

Annalena Baerbock,Foreign Minister of Germany,has called to unblock the €3 billion aid package for Ukraine immediately She also insisted that a EU summit must put together a "comprehensive European financial package" for Ukraine, Tagesschau media reports

Let me state the obvious. Ending the war is very easy. Putin must cease his attacks on Ukraine and stop the war that he started. But Putin has no intention of ending the war, and we do not have any quick and easy ways to influence him. We see no proof that Putin is interested in real peace.

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

The situation in and around #Ukraine is very tense at the moment. Lots of uncertainty, expectations, strong emotions. I keep myself going, doing my job. You know what helps me to keep going? First of all, it's the consistent support of my followers.

#GeorgiaProtests: Day 65

Bom fim de semana

Last year, we talked to air traffic controllers and found out they’re working 10-hour shifts, 6 days a week, with mandatory overtime. Trump’s cuts to the federal workforce and push to privatize air traffic control could make matters even worse. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GyN6...

Romania is diverse. Romania has helped and is helping Ukraine a lot. It often helped silently, without any fuss. From the very first days, Romania opened its borders to our refugees and helped to transport equipment. Romanian volunteers have fought and are still fighting in Ukraine.

‘Memory hurts, memory guides’: Auschwitz’s survivors gather for 80th anniversary of camp’s liberation

Putin compared WWII and Russia's "special military operation", saying that Russian soldiers are "defending their native land, defending our interests and the security of Russia." He conveniently omitted that Russia is the aggressor in today's war.

Que divertido!

"Europe needs to learn how to fully take care of itself" - President Zelenskyy at Davos. The time to act is now.

The rage I feel at the decades in which everyone brushed off and downplayed these companies as "social media" and failed to see these private companies for what they were: transnational communications platforms for online speech, a new vector of power, a vacuum waiting for nature to take hold
