I was one of the more than 9k in attendance at Bernie's Fighting Oligarchy Rally in Warren, MI today. The line to get in was literally a mile long when I got there, and it kept growing. Took almost an hour, once I *got* in line, to get in the door. Was in one of the multiple overflow rooms. Worth it

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:

This shit is infuriating. Bio removed from NASA site? Well, this fellow random woman in STEM will share your info. I don't have near the audience as NASA, but if others who see this also share...
Women in STEM fields should not be erased from their fields, and we should not be complicit.
