If you’re as pissed as we are, join this campaign to rebuild the Democratic Party. 👇

For those unfamiliar with the trucking industry: 80 blank sailings means, give or take, about 1,000,000 cargo containers that had been scheduled and booked for delivery which just disappeared.

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

As @mcbride.house.gov said, we will not let our trans and nonbinary communities be used as political pawns.
We will continue to show up for our community and fight back against attacks on our freedoms.

Really, really, great and insightful essay from Cory Doctorow today that I've been struggling to summarize much longer than the "just a minute" I told the dog when she asked for her walk.
So I'm just going to say, "this is worth your time and attention."
