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

Every news outlet reporting Elon Musk's comment about accidentally canceling Ebola prevention efforts and quickly restoring them should also say they haven't been restored, they're still canceled, the outbreak-fighting teams are dismantled, the money is gone www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Cutting the aid budget to play for defence feels like undercutting significant soft power in the hope of getting a defence spend Trump will like. Might be a necessary evil, but it’s an evil all the same: people make a terrible case for aid but it works in our self-interest. It’s not just altruism.

This should be changed asap. If we give someone refugee status, it can't be right to then refuse them route to become a British Citizen. To say they can have a home in our country, but never a place in our society and be forever second class. freemovement.org.uk/good-charact...

Manchester currently has one of the highest numbers of people sleeping rough outside of London. As that number grows, we’re seeing a rise in referrals and no longer have any hosts available to take in single male guests. If you can help, please send us a message or email [email protected].

This is important & necessary. I’d add only that a) It’s clear many of the political & media figures deliberately ignoring these facts are playing with the sort of fire we saw on our streets this summer & b) Laura Kuenssberg’s failure to point this out to Farage was an appalling dereliction of duty.

Important thread on the Home Office’s ongoing refusal to implement a firewall between the police and immigration enforcement, despite a wealth of evidence on its necessity and the serious consequences of continuing to pass on tape victims’ data
