They borrowed (and tweaked) the quote for the Superman movie:

“In an age of performative cruelty, kindness is punk AF. Be punk AF.” – Daniel Abraham

If Musk doesn't end his evening in a squad car, Wisconsin is just announcing that sufficiently wealthy & connected people get to publicly announce they're committing crimes, and the state will be too afraid to do anything about it. Criminal law is for the poor.

Apparently the Luigi Mangione sex tapes are a myth.

Please respect my need to grieve during this difficult time.

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:

In the face of injustice, action is preferable to silence," write Mark Engler and Paul Engler. But while some disruptive actions can lead to victory, others can self-isolate and alienate activists from the wider public.

How can movements use disruptive action effectively?
Why Protest Works—Even When It‘s Unpopular
High-profile, disruptive protests can lead to increased polarization—but often still yield increased public support for the protest’s goals, even if the tactics are criticized.
