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:

Do you remember that time Pence tried to see Hamilton and the cast called him out.
Or when McConnell was chased out of a resraurant and not allowed a peaceful meal.
Or when Cruz abandoned Texas during the deep freeze and we shamed him into going home.
That.
Do that.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.
EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

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!
When i was a teenager I used to read 1 or 2 books a day because I didn't have a job or bills to worry about. But as an adult I have a different schedule.
Reading, is still my passion but I am now down to 1 book a week.

UCLA is creating an entirely AI-generated course. Except apparently the grading won't be AI-generated. 🤔

One of the reasons that military backed coups do not succeed in stable Democracies is that the soldiers do not want to shoot their own people. In post colonial states, many of the military leaders got their positions by doing exactly that for colonial powers.
