Visibility Brigade’s message to commuters on I290: STOP TRUMP’S CRUELTY. Words resonating deeply on a day that saw the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka & the brutal separation of a family in Worcester MA by ICE and local cops.

Gratitude for today. I’ve had no side effects from the pneumonia vaccine I had more than 24 hours ago. Also, since I skipped a few few days, I see good news from Ohio regarding trans healthcare. And I had a good discussion with a coworker today.

It’s very 2025 to post “gratitude for today. Most of the stuff bothering me today is minor. Oh, except for the way my country is sliding into fascism. “

"the plan to shrink IRS staff by up to 50% would — very conservatively — lead to a $400 billion increase in uncollected taxes over the next decade. It could easily mean more than $2 trillion in losses..."

Opinion | DOGE says it’s saving $100 billion. It’s about to lose a lot more.
Cuts to the IRS will backfire by giving tax evaders a free pass.

Gratitude for today. Man, despite the sadness of this world, I’m really trying to focus on the small moments in my own life. I am very grateful to the protesters who shut down Trump tower though.

Gratitude for today. Two medical things coming up that I don't want to do, one for me and one for my cat. It sucks but I need to be grateful to have resources available to get needed treatments

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:
