We are defined by the love we extend, by the courage we summon, and the truths we are willing to tell.

Ahead of Germany’s election, with anti-immigrant sentiment rising, they released viral videos showing life without immigrants.

History proves that when a country starts erasing certain people, it doesn’t end well.

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:

Medicaid is not for sale.
NASA is not for sale.
The Post Office is not for sale.
America is not for sale.

We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

What’s is like to immigrate to another country? Today we were welcomed at a family restaurant, ordered fresh fish, and ate outside on the patio. A man in his 70s sat down and tried to engage with us. I listened intently wishing I could understand him better and engage more.

If you listened to the “I have a dream” speech yesterday and avoided the inauguration, we should be friends.

A stop in Barcelona, on the way to Porto. Quimet & Quimet never disappoints.

We had the pleasure of experiencing The Bags in Somerville tonight. The beat that passed through us, commanding us to move—so ephemeral. We leapt back four decades, time traveling to when we were all young. Escape at its best.
