“[I]f my employer cannot stand up for the rule of law, then I cannot ethically continue to work for them,” the former Skadden lawyer, Brenna Trout Frey, wrote on LinkedIn.

I spoke with Rachel Cohen, the Skadden Arps associate whose resignation letter went viral. Her message for those in positions of power who are still staying mum:
“Their silence is not only not going to protect them, it is going to kill people.”

The narrative isn’t that “we’re losing democracy” (though it’s true).
The narrative is “A group of ultra-wealthy men is raiding the government coffers and dismantling organizations charged to serve the people in order to make themselves dizzyingly rich at your expense.”

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.

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID.
This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC.
What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.
