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

30,000,000 Bluesky accounts. Every one of us should be flying the Ukrainian flag. It’s a modest but visible act of support, as well as resistance. Please join me and repost.

Even if you can possibly be ok with the guy use your vote to make a statement in opposition to this bulldozer administration. Just pathetic.

Federal workers are the most committed patriots in America. Trump belittles them. Musk calls them parasites. MAGA thinks they’re all unqualified. They’re on the verge of losing their jobs. Their life’s work is being erased. And they will get up tomorrow and go serve the American people, anyway.

Complicit

History buffs will know that every authoritarian leader eventually converges on some version of: "I *am* the state. I can not break the law, I am the law, the law is instantiated in me." Our march to authoritarianism so far has been excruciatingly by-the-book. Hitting every beat. No surprises.

If you live in New York State and think Gov. Kathy Hochul should remove the corrupt mayor of NYC, give her a call or send her a letter.

Voting no is not enough considering dems are in the minority. They must block the nominations.

This wasn't shown on American Television. The Orange Felon probably had geo-restrictions set, but if you want to hear Prime Minister Justin Trudeau response & #message to the American People, please share the video among your USA friends. It's going to be hard for you. We're sorry for you #Tariffs
