The Russian-backed government of Serbia under pressure tonight as massive protests fill the center of Belgrade. It seems that only the US hasn't gotten the note that Russian-backed fascism just isn't cool anymore.

I went to a lot of roadside protests in Tucson in 2017-2018. Today’s crowd was at least 2 to 4 times larger than any I saw back then

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

Israel is refusing to enter phase 2 of ceasefire talks and is closing off all supplies to Gaza. We’re fighting for a reality where Israel can’t simply cut water, food, and medicine off from 2 million people in Gaza.

This is a bigger issue than people realize. Not just jobs lost. But their families losing benefits. Landlords losing tenants. Cities and towns losing revenue. This is how recessions start Ready Fire Aim is no way to govern.

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

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. 🧵

a few years ago if you said "college republican clubs are hotbeds of white supremacism and enthusiastic support for rape" people looked at you like you were wearing a barrel on a street corner and if you said it today most people would still do that because the newspapers won't print it

How Hitler seized power: 1. Create a crisis. 2. Demonize opponents. 3. Declare a state of emergency. 4. Undermine elections. 5. Make the rule of law irrelevant. 6. Rule by decree. If America falls it will be because of the people who didn’t pay attention.

For further perspective, as professional climate scientist & meteorologist, I personally pay several hundred dollars per yr for basic raw data access from ECMWF--European NOAA equivalent (basic commercial licenses run in ~5 figures). That does not include forecast interpretation.
