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

A reminder for these times.

NOTE: The opponents of DEI are purging anyone who is not a white man from military leadership This is not about merit; it’s about normalizing racism and misogyny

I’m sorry to say it but: The emporer is actually naked.

Elon Musk has shut down a team of tech-savvy civil servants responsible for developing the IRS’s free tax-filing service and improving government websites. As a result, 90 employees were immediately locked out of their devices and informed that their jobs were deemed non-essential.

We need to salute courage wherever it appears. The official snow reporter at Vermont's Sugarbush, where JD Vance came on a skiing vacation this weekend, pointed out in her snow report this a.m. that the Trump team is ignoring climate change. Her report was pulled down kottke.org/25/03/jd-van...

We want to send a message to the world: what has happened today is an absolute disgrace. It is completely un-American.

Today, a reporter from the Russian state news agency TASS gained unauthorized access to the Oval Office. How does one gain unauthorized access to the Oval Office? Meanwhile, AP and Reuters were blocked.

Why is Congress allowing a Russian asset to remain in the position of the presidency??

Collective ignorance is not an accidental or contingent outcome of autocracy, it is essential to it. www.latimes.com/california/s...

President Trump’s simpering fealty to Vladimir Putin and Russia is embarrassing and dangerous. Illinois stands with Ukraine, and so should the White House.

Generations of American patriots, from our revolution onward, have fought for the principles Zelenskyy is risking his life to defend. But today, Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelenskyy and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine.

Bill McKibben on DOGE attack on NOAA: “The fossil fuel industry is committing an ongoing crime against the planet; this is an effort to paint over the lens of the security camera that’s been recording its trespasses“

A grassroots movement is calling on all Americans to abstain from shopping with major retailers tomorrow, February 28, as part of an “economic blackout.” I encourage you to join. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/boycott

We’ve tried to shelter our minds but tonight we’re preparing for the genocide of Science. Entire NIH departments will have no leaders. World renowned Scientists kicked to the curb without cause, & grants will loose their lead investigators. Is this what they want? Chaos? Destruction?

Per Dr Atul Gawande, ex USAID: “All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.” There are no words that sufficiently describe this level of cruelty and sadism.

Hey everyone! @co2ley.bsky.social — who was fired by NOAA yesterday as the Director of the Ocean Acidification Program — is now here on Bluesky! Follow her! Also, someone please offer Sarah a job! 🌊

All probationary federal employees at NOAA’s EMC that’s responsible for keeping all US weather model systems running have been fired with 1 hours notice. And that includes me and colleagues. We will not go quietly because we care about the NOAA mission to protect the public.

Five former defense secretaries condemned Trump’s firing of senior military leaders as “reckless” and urged Congress to reject their replacements.

Calling all Oceanography & Atmospheric Sci. professors! Let's teach our students the many & varied ways that the services that NOAA provides impacts their lives. This is a teaching & LEARNING moment to help Americans understand how federal agencies impact them directly www.axios.com/2025/02/27/l...

Last Tuesday, I was set to give a talk on 'climate change in the Northeast' at a retirement home but had to cancel due to hourly job threats. After nearly two weeks of overwhelming uncertainty, today it happened. I was fired from my dream of working at NOAA. I'm so sorry to everyone also affected.

I am now hearing from multiple folks in the past two hours (including some who have personally been fired) that mass firings have now commenced within NOAA--including, yes, at the National Weather Service.

A seven-byline story from WaPo: “.. Over the years, Musk and his businesses have received at least $38 billion in government contracts, loans, subsidies and tax credits ..” @washingtonpost.com $TSLA www.washingtonpost.com/technology/i...

Had a conversation with a non political person whose buddy works for the forest service and was 10 months into his job supplying hard to reach parts of a national forest and was fired. The guy talking to me was like “I don’t really think my buddy’s $50,000 salary is gonna balance the budget.”

Currently appearing at UK bus-stops. More of this pointed ridicule, please.

I was proud to be part of the United States team that rallied the world to support Ukraine. Now, I’m horrified by what we’ve become. A tragic day for democracy and an indelible stain on America’s history.

Your regular reminder that the US air & water pollution laws passed in the 60s & 70s -- and the elaborate federal bureaucracy created to administer them -- constitute one of the most successful gov't interventions in history. WILDLY successful. The envy of the world.

The answers people gave were, “I don’t know what to do” (hence my pinned post with a list of the most impactful actions individuals can take) and “no one’s ever asked me” (hence my newsletter with a different example each week of something you can do, and ask others to do too!) www.talkingclimate.ca

El Capitan displays a massive American flag upside down—the traditional signal of distress or extreme emergency.

Apparently, Grok is the only reliable thing Elon Musk has paid people far smarter than him to create.
