You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

How about... a crowd of 100,000 blocking access to a golf course...

Crowd too big to arrest. When golf is denied, then maybe they'll notice.

It really bugs me when I hear dems say "I didn't like bernie at first, but now..." WHY? HOW? He's been screaming the same thing and fighting the same good fight for YEARS. If you didn't like him, were you even paying attention?

North Korea's troops have reportedly crossed into Ukraine for the first time. Trump has ordered that F-16 jamming devices used by Ukraine be disabled to make them vulnerable to Russia. Russia has increased its attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure, including the use of cluster munitions.

Trump is isolating the US. Mass layoffs are making our country weak and everyone hates us. This feels so dangerous.

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

Please keep having in-person conversations letting folks know how gov cuts have impacted you, your clients or patients & your loved ones. Tell your local news outlets. Post on social. Folks are hearing this broad rhetoric that the cuts are good and not understanding the implications. Keep talking!

Rage baking after finding out my husband's coworkers (federal) who were on probation were laid off and told it was due to performance. This is a lie and I'm betting it's to keep folks from filing unemployment. They had literally just taken federal positions after working the same jobs as contractors
