I wrote about how the Everglades experiment fits into the history of concentration camps in the US and abroad, and how it will connect a domestic network of camps to an international one. We’re watching the imposition of a global concentration camp network.
Opinion | Don’t call it ‘Alligator Alcatraz.’ Call it a concentration camp.
This facility’s purpose fits the classic model, and its existence points to serious dangers ahead for the country.

Also, it is expensive and hard to be one of the only places left not normalizing ICE, valorizing warmongering, or generally kissing the ring of a mad despot.

"One of the great things about our system of education is that it attracts people from all over the world who want to come to America to learn. And while they’re here learning, they learn about our country, our values, our freedoms." Wesleyan University President Michael Roth on CBS Face the Nation.

Watching all these fellow Gen Xers posting about being locked out of the house and drinking from hoses and how independent and tough they had to be and I'm just "fuck, sorry about your abusive childhood, you know that wasn't all of us, right?"

So, as you might know, I have been in the process of tracking the activities of DOGE staff across the federal government. And now I've built an auto-updating website to browse the data

It's not done (lots more content to write), but news is moving fast, so here it is dogetrack.info

Enjoy!

A website tracking the various activities of the DOGE wrecking crew across government. Sunlight is the best disinfectant!

So, the DOGE kids intend to rewrite the social-security administration's COBOL code-base!

and they want to do it ...

... in *a few months*

I did a huge dive into COBOL a few years ago (www.wealthsimple.com/en-ca/magazi...) ...

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 is for @gtconway.bsky.social

Five things I did last week.

1. Took too much ketamine
2. Danced onstage with a chainsaw
3. Ignored my new baby momma
4. Laughed at my own jokes.
5. Neglected all of my children except for the one I use as a human shield.
