The app this group is building is super inspiring. I found this while job hunting and while they found someone for the role that I applied, I still think it’s one of the most exciting projects I’ve come across because of the good it do. www.linkedin.com/posts/shane-...

I finished my UX design certification with treehouse today. So that feels nice. images.credential.net/embed/0hql6n...

i wrote something about This Place for @404media.co. please read it, and then log off. 💗

"The point of this chaotic blitz is to demoralize their opponents,” says author Cory Doctorow, about Elon Musk’s shakeup of the federal government.

I keep thinking that some people said we couldn’t make industry changes to address Greta’s concerns because it would kill our economy, but Elon is going to kill our economy out of ignorant spite and in an effort to avoid all of his investigations and those same some people are fine with it.

Interesting: the State Department’s procurement forecast detailing a $400 million order for "armored Tesla" has now been edited to "armored electric vehicles." The document shows the edit was made tonight at 9:12 p.m. -- after it was highlighted in reports

This morning, I sent a letter to the Office of Government Ethics (OGE) regarding Elon Musk’s potential conflicts of interest. Within minutes, the White House confirmed receipt. By noon, President Trump fired the Director of OGE. I want to know: Was this to prevent his answer?

People need to understand how bad this is.

Now would be a good time to have a well staffed and fully funded NIH, CDC, FDA, and WHO..

Nearly $7 million has been “apportioned” over the past week to cover DOGE-related expenses.

NOT NOW, MELVILLE. READ THE ROOM.

This may not sound shocking, but it is one of the most shocking parts of this coup: why would you shut down all the federal offices unless you're nihilists who've decided we don't need a government? apnews.com/article/trum...

This is a hell of a crowd size for a protest at the Treasury Department. People do not like Elon.

Dropping this here to kick it around/find it again. Is this representative of your experience? If this is it what’s the way forward? uxdesign.cc/the-state-of...

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

So, “project 2025” is real and represents the Republican party’s current strategy and goals. It’s a matter of fact now. Now would be a good time to download or request a record of your contributions to social security. www.ssa.gov/myaccount/st...

watch tech debt end up being what saves us.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: Our beloved Canada is under threat. The threat comes from the president of the US—a convicted felon and known predator. But the threat is also being driven by the hate algorithms of oligarchs like Elon Musk….

It is Friday afternoon of a wild, wild week. And yet for me a reassuring one. My greatest fear was not of what they would do. It's that we would let them. And I'm seeing a lot of beautiful intransigence. From federal workers. From people all over the country obstructing ICE....

Choose Democracy was the first organization I saw take a strong stand on the illicit OMB power grab/Constitutional crisis that erupted Monday night. They do good work and write good updates.

Was literally talking to the union representing federal air traffic controllers earlier today about how there’s already a major shortage of air traffic controllers and the resignation offers they all just got from OPM could seriously endanger public safety.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a declassified World War II-era CIA guide to sabotaging fascism in the workplace has become one of the most popular free ebooks on the internet: www.404media.co/declassified...

Listen to how healthy RFK Jr sounds. His views are worthy of ridicule and should prevent him from serving as the head of HHS, but his voice and breathing 😳

Another Lina Khan post: I hate to see her go, and I hope the next FTC chair follows the standard she set. youtu.be/enHn9R_T2R8?...

There are moments that I am proud to be a Quaker.

Making financial crashes great again.

You have to be equal parts batshit insane and a heartless idiotic fuck to stop cancer research. I can't even keep up with all of the horrible shit, damn.

I'm not sure if people realize how quickly the Trumpzis can do enormous damage to US science, from basic research to translation. Really fast. REALLY fast. Labs with decades of irreplaceable domain and technique knowledge can break apart with a surprisingly short funding gap. When they're gone...1/
