Howard University students launched a solidarity encampment, DC and campus police threaten arrests. It's a direct attack on peaceful protest and student power. Howard students demand justice— they’re calling on community to mobilize and defend the encampment. Show up. Speak out. Stand with them.

The people Attorney General Bondi is calling “terrorists” have had no trial and no chance to defend themselves. We do not know who they are. Ignoring the Constitution does not make us safe. It puts us all in peril.

I wrote a paper as part of my MLIS studies about the intentional destruction of archives during war time. It was done to erase the history of local people from the records to better lay claim to territory. Happened during WWII, in Yugoslavia, Iraq, Crimea. This WaPo framing is so off the mark.

The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025. This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.

18F, the federal government’s technology shop, was just demolished by Musk’s team. It was a cost-recoverable org, charging agencies for their expertise, using a consulting model. Its cost to government was negligible, its benefits huge. My team there once saved DoD $500 million. A thread about 18F:

Sad to share the news that our colleagues at 18F were illegally fired overnight (emails coming in around 1am Sat.). About 90 people. 18Fers are technologists, like USDSers, and often would be co-deployed or work across different parts of the same agency.

Rubio terminated 5800 USAID contracts – more than 90% of its foreign aid programs – in defiance of the courts. Here’s a list of just some of the lifesaving awards that were terminated. Nearly all were Congressionally mandated. They’ve saved millions of lives. 🧵
