📢 Rumor has it the DOGE Traitor Tots were spotted at AmeriCorps.
First they gutted Peace Corps—now AmeriCorps is in their sights.
Because in Trump’s world, the best way to "cut waste" is to go after VOLUNTEERS strengthening communities at home and abroad 🙃.

What happened in Wisconsin is an example of what is most feared: That in a true democracy regular people have more power than a billionaire, that all the money in the world doesn’t change one person one vote.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.
We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.
They own what happens next.

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

a lot of money for a small staff that doesn't have offices & wrecks rather than builds
fully loaded with fringe benefits, you could pay about 200 GS-15 (top of the regular federal scale) civic technologists at USDS or TTS *for a year* for that money
what's a better use of your tax dollars? 🤔

some people didn't love Cowboy Carter, but for some reason, this was my favorite album. It got me through 2024 and it's gonna get me through this year too. Congratulations, Beyoncé 🥹.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.
Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.
Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.
With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.
You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.
