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

It’s always gratifying (and harrowing) to read @sarahkendzior.bsky.social. But I especially enjoy it when amidst the stark truths about our crisis she turns out passages like this:

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote.

There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP

Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.
@aoc.bsky.social
Please explain what just happened. Is there no way to stop this w the reconciliation to be used by GOP to get around the filibuster? Are we sunk?

Leadership is doubling down, but GOP members are getting nervous about the budget’s extreme unpopularity.

You can call your Representative now at 202-224-3121.
Looks like tomorrow will bring votes on a Republican plan to fund tax cuts for the rich by slashing Medicaid.

So this is a great time to contact your Member of Congress.

Courtesy of Musk's X AI, Grok, here's a plausible response to f'Elon about your government work. However I recommend ignoring his demands. His doge-y cabinet is not approved by Congress. #Resist #ProudBlue

Elon Musk fires another one of America's best.
Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns.

100% of his salary is paid by WA state.

Elon fired him. Share his story.

This is why you fight these cowards.

The moment you stand up to them, they crumble.

Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights.

He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

For those looking to relocate to an area out of Fire danger, along the coastal route with a strong sense of community connect with Pam Hudson. She is the best!

While our evac was full of unexpected twists & turns during the first hours of the Eaton Fire, I at least was prioritized, cared for & supported to safety. I can understand the fear, aloneness & desperation the two in wheelchairs in Altadena left waiting for medical transport. Something must change

I was alone in the house when the power went out. Deep blackness except for the screen light of my IPad. The blinds and windows closed all day against the powerful Santa Ana winds and we had loads of practice with my ability for self-care despite being bed and wheelchair bound 1/3
