We all should be concerned. One can be taken w/o trial or due process.

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:
18f.org

This is effectively a snitch on women, people of color, and LGBTQ folks policy. White men can just baselessly accuse any minority of being DEI and get them fired. They created a permission structure to bring back segregation as a matter of policy by calling it anti DEI.

To my friends who feel the heaviness of what lies ahead: I am here for you. I understand that everything has been feeling like an uphill battle and that it’s about to get worse. If you need to talk or if you need help, let me know.

I’ve taken a pretty big step away from social media, largely because most of my older accounts are cattle calls of everyone in my life and it’s painful to see how ugly and uninformed so many are. I’m going to allow this account to be more of a safe haven and honest, authentic space for me.
