The federal government is sowing chaos so they can have an excuse to escalate.

That is not the way any civilized country behaves.

The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle.

Don't give them one.

Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.

I’m so happy to have blossoms in my very own back yard to take photos of! I don’t know why it didn’t occur to me sooner to get a fruit tree 🙄

The ladies were waiting at the starting gate to get out and run this morning.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but stay grounded to what you are resisting/fighting for. Family, gardening, the vacation in another state you are saving for, gaming, crocheting, following your childhood team…

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:

We're not done yet | 18F

Wiped out or fired up? ❤️‍🔥Thank you so much to @matteowong.bsky.social for writing about us!
18F, a team in the General Services Administration, was tailor-made for government efficiency and technology, writes @matteowong.bsky.social. Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency wiped it out.

This is my favorite time of year, when everything is in bloom!

Almond orchards in bloom in Northern California.

Trump on Liz Cheney: "Let's put her with a rifle standing there with 9 barrels shooting at her. Let's see how she feels about it. You know, when the guns are trained on her face."
