Couldn’t agree more. Cause a scene. Hold your own press conference on the capitol steps. The country is being dismantled along with the world order. At the very least yell back. A. Lot.

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

There is going to come a time in the very near future where the only way to resolve this is for every non-MAGA media company to band together and simply refuse to walk into the presser or attend the event. Because he wants the coverage more than anything else. Divided you fall.

Losing NOAA would be devastating. Project 2025 authors want to get rid of it because it monitors climate change, and privatize the information it currently provides for free, so you'll have to buy information about the weather and the winds (imperative for mariners).

This amounts to the most significant data leak in cyber history. Private individuals in the data business now have access to your Social Security information. This violates privacy laws in every state. Hopefully, state AGs will file suit & pursue criminal charges. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/01/u...

Someone with standing should file a lawsuit, too, stat. I don’t know if that’s Bluesky or someone who’s been banned from Twitter, but it needs to be challenged. Make the Supreme Court say Republican presidents can privatize government communications.

Gosh, I remember when we had an actual president instead of a loudmouth bully who won't take responsibility for his actions.

Roger Wicker wouldn't hire Pete Hegseth to mow his lawn. Seriously. A tattooed weirdo who drinks on the job and threatens women? Who would let a guy like that near his house? It's a disgrace. Wicker's legacy will be as a Trump stooge. Could have been different. newrepublic.com/article/1904...

I had a walk today and thought about the relationship between civility, discomfort, and abuse. Some of you know that “civility” is one of my hard “ugh” triggers. This thread will explain why.

I understand Donald Trump for what he is a buffoon. Donald Trump wants you to be scared. Rather than being scared, I am proud to be a happy warrior for democracy. We all need to have the courage to not back down. Do not obey!
