The boycott is strong.
Canadians will not break.
We thank our allies and friends from across the world who are supporting our fight.
Boycott the felon administration.

Don't spend a dime in the USA.

Bought this little book upon its release. Thought we had survived the warning.

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:

We're not done yet | 18F

“By treating Putin as a fellow statesman, by publicly praising him & saying that he wants peace, Trump has given him a stature & a credibility that he does not deserve, & may well have emboldened him to probe further into the spaces along the borders of Russia.” From the great Margaret Macmillan.
The art of the peace deal
Can talks between the US and Russia reach a lasting settlement over Ukraine? So far, argues historian Margaret MacMillan, the signs are not looking good

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

This is a very very good article and I hope whatever remnant stump of #GCDigital exists on this platform reads it. I would suggest that splitting program review (what should we do) with admin service review (how should we do it) would lead to faster results and clearer public conversations. 🧵

Wrote a thing about DOGE and Program Review.
TLDR - Don't use DOGE as your short-hand for Program Review.

Why is DOGE not all, like not even remotely, similar to the 1990s Program Review in Canada?

This year, I'll be at the Community Symposium on February 23 at the University of Ottawa's Faculty of Social Sciences building, repping Salaysay-- our collective of Filipino writers based in the Toronto area. We'll have Fil-Can books for all ages, so come find us on Sunday from 9:00-12:00!

It's Pinoys on Parliament weekend-- the annual conference of Fil-Can university students! As I head to Ottawa, I can't help but reminisce about my first Pinoys on Parliament back in 2020-- the last event I attended before the pandemic hit, making this conference feel like a dream.
