This is excellent.
JD Vance is skiing at a Vermont resort this weekend. The resort’s snow reporter took the opportunity to make some good trouble, sending out a message of resistance against an administration “threatening our democracy, our livelihoods, our land”. [kottke.org]

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:

Congratulations to Trump on securing a $1.3 billion border security deal from Canada.... which was already negotiated in December 2024.

"...a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism — ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power."

Anyone else feeling adrift in a sea of social media apps? None of them feel like “the one” anymore.

This is simply excellent. It's close to my take, and plans.
I will find ways to help those hurt by the incoming regime, and to help 2026 midterms.
No performative stuff like the Women's March.
Fwiw I plan to exit Twitter in January just before the inauguration. Earlier if circumstances demand.

If you're unhappy and unsettled by Trump's election, don't quit. That's just what they want you to do.
But that doesn't mean you have to do everything the same. Your media and social media habits, for example.
Here's what I'm doing to stay sane, and set myself up to handle what's to come.

Authoritarians Want You To Quit
Don't withdraw entirely, but it's OK to partially disengage. The future will be tough, and you're in better position to fight if you stay sane. Here's how I'm adjusting.
