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

As the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. wisely said, "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." Today and every day, I pledge to never silence my voice in the fight for what is right, and I will continue to march in the path he forged toward justice.

This man and a small group of capitol police officers singlehandedly saved our democracy four years ago. In November, 77 million Americans said "to hell with them" and voted for the insurrectionists. Your "Back the Blue" flags are a pathetic disgrace and your patriotism is bullsh*t.

In case anyone was wondering why the tinkle tape traitor woke up with a Panamanian bug up his ass seemingly out of the clear blue sky… This is why: Because he’s being investigated for tax evasion in Panama. Who’s shocked? Is anyone? Anyone at all? t.co/I1pt4guQd4

I’m no fan of guilt by association, but it does seem worth noting that on the night of the 2024 presidential election, a notorious German neo-Nazi group, AfD, met with Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago and has since been warmly embraced by virtual co-president Elon Musk. Birds of a feather . . . 🦅
